pakistsni

Wow. I've never heard of this ethnicity. TIL

...

True. Indian and Pakistani are actually, technically the same.

Or if we wanna get deeper, Punjabis from Kashmir

Unless if you're getting me for my spelling lol

I mistyped

Odd note on Pakistan:

It's technically the most powerful muslim nation minus maybe Turkey.


That feels weird.

To be honest, I kinda wish Pakistan wasn't partitioned in the first place. Ghandi and Jinnah were right.

Indeed. I dont think Pakistan would have its problems today if it didnt split from india.

Somehow, I doubt a united India/Pakistan was going to hold.
Unless you’re talking about Pakistan/Bangladesh, which is arguably worse.

I was making fun of your spelling but okay.

If they didn't split, India wouldn't have become dominated by the BJP

[Sahansahiye Iran]

A unified India and Pakistan just was never going to happen, tbh.

Yeah, I just realized it by looking at my spelling. Haha

You've always got me on that kind of stuff, Khosro, and you know me, how I always awkwardly react. Lol

[Jolthig]

I suppose but still. Muslims and Hindus did get along with one another for a while. At least in the 19th to 20th centuries before 1947

Eh.

Getting along is used very loosely here, tbh. More like the British largely kept them at peace.

Yeah. Then, everything went downhill after.

Are you saying the British should have continued occupying India? *munches popcorn*

[Jolthig]

Well..considering that they have nukes. That is scary.

Yep.

WW3 will cause a wild card between those two that could end all humanity.

To be honest, I kinda wish Pakistan wasn't partitioned in the first place. Ghandi and Jinnah were right.

Same.

Plus, we could have had a cooler Indian look.

India's map today looks...bleh...

Yup.

Yeah. Then, everything went downhill after.

Are you saying the British should have continued occupying India? *munches popcorn*

No, but now that I think about it, they would've been better off. They should've became the Canada of Asia.

After all, Mirza Ghulam Ahmad, the founder of my community told muslims not to fight the British when he was alive.

[Frievolk]

Yeah. Then, everything went downhill after.

It would have been a better idea than to partition it in such a retarded way just to screw with the Indians.

Should've just split the country diagonally smh

... Or just not partition it and instead influence it into becoming your puppet in all the ways that matter after it gets independent, like the French did with all of their African dominions. (Of course, the very existence of Pakistan is because they wanted to cut off Communist China from getting to The Persian Oil, but regardless)

Iromically Pakistan and China have been great allies against India and the USSR.

Yeah, but since when has British Foreign Policy made any sort of sense?

British Foreign Policy in a nutshell:

Beat up China and piss off the French, occasionally prevent the Germans from conquering Europe, flip off the Russians at every opportunity.

Yes, lad.

That's not foreign policy, that's military and economic policy (Colonial Expansion isn't "foreign policy" where diplomacy is concerned lol). Their foreign policy (as in, who to ally with diplomatically, how to deal with rising threats, etc.) makes zero sense. They're inconsistent, and often the worst choice possible. their policies are made by a guy saying "Yeah, this is gonna be so efficient" while he pushes ground chalk into his AC.
The only reason they continued to be a great power is because up until recently nobody could touch them, and they had a pretty large navy.

You forgot about stealing all the spices, then deciding you don’t like any, and going home to burnt Shepherd’s Pie.

Yeah, they always had a bizarre foreign policy. *ahem* the stamp act

The Stamp Act was a tax--hence, not foreign policy lol.
