Reunification of South Asia?

Postby Hindupashtunistan » Wed Mar 27, 2013 8:02 am

Should the nations of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh be reunited into one nation? This would eliminate many of the tensions between the countries but place a huge stress on the government. Opinions?

No.
I support peace in Israel and Palestine. The governments and people in power on all sides are an absolute disgrace, and their unwillingness to pursue peace is a disservice to the people they are meant to be serving. The status quo is not simply untenable; it is unquestionably unacceptable.

Do they want to unite? Or do you propose making them, somehow?

Impractical. Also "Reunification."?
They were never united except under British rule.
Jamal was right, Indian unity is an artificial unity, preserved by British Bayonets.

There is an out of control trolley speeding towards Jeremy Bentham, who is tied to the track. You can pull the lever to cause the trolley to switch tracks, but on the other track is Immanuel Kant. Bentham is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Critique of Pure Reason. Kant is clutching the only copy in the universe of The Principles of Moral Legislation. Both men are shouting at you that they have recently started to reconsider their ethical stances.

Well, there's basically a mini cold war going on between India and Pakistan. Good luck getting them to unite.

Certainly not under no circumstances, unless of course the people want it, which they don't!

We won't get Indian Subcontinent unity until world unity.
The Islamic/Western/Sino/Indian/Cyrillic blocs will be the last to unite.

We'll likely see more supra-national organizations, something like a Super Nato including Japan and the pacific westerners.
The arab league may eventually start to gear toward unity if their democratic revolutions stick.
etc.

Who needs world unity? The Colonial Imperialist years are over now, thank God.

Would it be beneficial? Probably, but that doesn't mean they should, they'd just end up splitting again, and probably split up a fair bit of India in the end as well, just from stupid ethnic tensions.

It's not a question of 'Should'. The one world government is coming, and they'll be a part of the global future. Whether they'll be willing or compelled-by-force part of it is at their own discretion, though.
