Yes, they got to be anti Indian. The question people don't like to answer is: Why? There lies the answer in many disturbing layers.It is comfortable pretending that it does not exist.So, you look for 'liberals', the kind that live in you make-believe world, to gloss over disturbing reality which, if confronted squarely, will make you sound quite like the realistic hard liners whom you loathe! Look, much has been made of Advani's remarks on Jinnah, made during a visit to Pakistan, at his mausoleum. Surely that is what decent protocol demands.Nothing earth shaking need to have been read into it. In fact, if you read Jinnah's complete address to Pakistan's Constituent Assembly in August 1947, you would not be wrong in concluding, for most part, that those could have been the words of Mahatma Gandhi or Nehru! If anything, that speech should be adopted as the very foundation of a new Pakistan, if the country has to have any real chance of being brought back from the brink. You can find relevant portions of the same under the label 'jinnah' at www.vinodksharma.blogspot.com No matter who is in power in the Pakistan of today, doing business is going to be tough and almost impossible. You have yourself stated why! Hi Madhav,

People change with times. Remember Advani praising Jinnah ?? Have we ever expected that to happen ? I was of the view that Benazir is the best person whom we can deal with as Mushraff doesn't have public support and Nawaz Sharif is more close with the right wing parties. To be a successful Pakistani politician, they got to be Anti-India. If not, they should be ready writing their obituaries. Regards, Madhav Hi Vinod,

They do not remember that the Taliban were created when she was the PM, and that she was a willing instrument of Pakistan's destructive policy towards India, using Islamic terrorism. I will not be surprised if our media soon discover that Jinnah was India's best friend too. After all he studied in the UK and was a pork eating, whiskey-swigging, Saville Row suited gentleman, just the kind that our media love to call liberal!
