nishan-e-manzil-2.jpgThe biggest Urban Myth is that Mr. Gandhi led a movement for the independence from the British. Gandhi did not bring the British empire to its knees. In 1945 the tottering “empire” was its knees already. Actually it had been knocked out (KO!). WW2The article of Accession is now lost, was never signed properly and may never have existedThe article of Accession is now lost, was never signed and may never have existedThroughout history, the struggle for the independence of the Subcontinent has been struggle against centralism and the struggle has been waged to create for provincial autonomy. The Government of India Act of 1919 set out in clear terms the subjects which were to belong to the provincial sphere and those to the Central sphere. But both the Congress and the Muslim League boycotted the elections to the provincial and Central Legislatures held in November 1920 under the Act, because they felt that the Central vernment had still retained too much of power over the provinces.The article of Accession is now lost, was never signed and may never have existedthe-526-states-in-the-subcontinent.gifchaudhy-rehmat-alis-pakistan-plan-1940.jpgCh. Rehmat Ali PakistanNehru and EdwinaNehru and EdwinaQuaid e Azam Mohammad Ali JinnahWhen your last general left the Subcontinent, Pakistanis and Afghans thought that you would really leave, we would remember you for trains started by Lord delhousie’s. But you keep coming back to the Middle East and South Asia.

Lord Delhousi did not favors for anyone except the Opioum traders of the British East India companies and the military cantonments.The main purpose of introducing railways was to “immensely increase the striking power of the military forces at every point of the Indian empire, to bring British capital and enterprise to India and to bring into the ports the produce from the interior.”

The original Great Game was between Curson’s Imperial Britian and Tzarist RussionHistory is taught to us in silos. Though Pakistani history is linked to the destiny of Iran and the Central Asian republics, Pakistanis are not taught the history of Iran or of Central Asia. it is pendantic to see that separation of Azarbaijan from Iran by Tzarist Russia. The Amu Darya separates Afghanistan from the Central Asian republics. While Russia moved towards Iran and snatched Azerbaijan, Lord Curzon first tried to extend the British empire to the Oxus (Amu darya) and but was forced to withdraw back by the fierce Afghans. After the OCtober revolution, Stalin dislocated all the Chechans and Tartars and sent them to Siberia. They returned and wanted to secede from Russia.History is taught to us in silos.

Unfortunately the lessons of unmitigated disaster of “Auckland’s Folly”, (First Anglo-Afghan War 1838-42) have not been taught to the Oxbridge students. Perhaps Blair and Brown never saw Lady Butler’s famous painting of Dr William Brydon, the sole survivor, gasping his way to the British outpost in Jalalabad. This painting codified Elphinstone’s retreat from Kabul and established Afghanistan’s reputation as a graveyard for foreign armies.

The original Great Game was between Curson’s Imperial Britian and Tzarist RussionThe original Great Game was between Curson’s Imperial Britian and Tzarist RussionThe lessons learned from the defeat of Lord Curzon’s (1878-1893) “On to the Oxus” policy are not taught to the Eaton and Harrow graduates.

Will Britannia learn her lessons ever? Does no one in Britain read Robert Fisk anymore? The minority Northern Alliance led non-Pashtun government has been a total failure. The only way out of the Afghan quagmire for NATO is to negotiate with the Talibaan and the Pashtuns. Pakistan’s vital interests in Afghanstan have to be taken into account, and the Hindu Kush mountains cannot be used to launch terrorism into Pakistani Baluchistan.

An American led “Marshall Plan” for Pakistan and Afghanistan will reduce tensions, and provide employment to the disaffected youth of the area.
