‘In the name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful’

Asalamo Alykum,

Of course we have been celebrating the 6^th of September ever since our childhood with the utmost of zeal and valor. We have read about it in history and Pakistan Studies. What we were taught was that all was good and one fine day, or more accurately, one fine night, India suddenly attacked Pakistan from the Lahore border. What a coward !

However, as we grew up and witnessed episodes of political hostility and military escalations between the two countries, we couldn’t but help notice that a war, or even a battle, is preceded by a troops movement on both sides of the border. Its not as if that the border is dotted with the regular deployment of soldiers and suddenly one side attacks with a handful of soldiers or that an army of troops suddenly appears out of nowhere. We all have our satellites and radars nowadays. Even the binoculars would work at such close quarters.

Then, thanks to some authors, bloggers and the social media, we came to know that the 1965 war was preceded by a freedom attempt in Kashmir. So why is this fact not mentioned in our history books ? Nobody would have condemned it. We all know and agree that of course Kashmir has been and still is a bone of contention between India and Pakistan. So why hide this freedom attempt ? It is an academic and historical dishonesty.

Worse, we feel stupid when presented with alternate facts while interacting with the international community because as students or professionals we go abroad and engage in candid debates. In any case, the world has become a global village now and facts are available faster than we can speak opinions.

Lastly and most appallingly, is the account of how a group of Generals were planning Operation Gibraltar in Murree with shouts of Takbeer over glasses of alcohol ? How can any cause planned by a Muslim with alcohol be a success ? It is not enough to have Muslim names, it is not enough to have a Muslim cause, but it is important to have the Muslim character as well to achieve success !

On the other hand, my message to the Defence Forces of Pakistan is that Kashmir is indeed a big task, and will be resolved one day, in sha Allah, but how about achieving a much smaller but very important task of getting Dr. Aafia Siddiqui released from the American jail ? Dr. Aafia Siddiqui is a brilliant educationist and Pakistan, the Ministry of Education and the National Curriculum Council should be very much interested in getting her back !
