Pakistan's Instability will Have Grave Repercussions for India

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/?in_leftnav

When has Pakistan at all been stable? A country, whose warped education system has been poisoning the population's mind for jihad, cannot suddenly stabilise by ushering in democracy. For those who believe otherwise, a viewing of the BBC documentary titled 'The Islamic Blowback' pulled out of BBC archives would be educative. India would do well to remember that Pakistan continued to fuel insurgencies in the country no matter who controlled the strings of power in that country; Army or the democratically elected govt. Remember 'OPERATION TOPAC', 'thousand cuts policy' and the 'K2 Plan' devised by Pakistan to bleed India? It would also be wise to keep in mind Pakistan's sinister role in rearing the brutal Taliban and establishing its rule in Afghanistan. And all this was done when Pakistan was supposed to be stable.

Whatever the situation in Pakistan or whichever the govt in power, India must assume the western neighbor as completely unstable before formulating an approach to it.
