A discussion on the ISI.

In my opinion, the ISI is an organisation under the titular authority of the Pakistan Army. The Pakistan Army was not involved directly, in the war between the Mujahedin and The Soviet union. The ISI was the channel of exchange between the United States, and The Mujahedin, during the last Afghan War. How exactly does the ISI operate? In the past, the Indian Army was a source of concern to the Pakistan establishment, for many reasons. The intelligence required by the Pakistan establishment, including the Pakistan Army, was of a defense oriented nature. Hence, the ISI was established. The ISI has no military role, perhaps. I mean, that they have no military function, except to act in a way, which may aid the military of Pakistan, in a vaguely indirect way. Now, the units of the Pakistan Army, may be expected to give support to the ISI. The question to be asked is, how is the ISI accountable to the Pakistan Army? The Pakistan Army and the Government of Pakistan, are not very happy with international awareness of the ISI. But the ISI cannot help this state of awareness, nor can the Army, and the Government. How does one act appropriately, with a certain divestment of passion, in such a scenario? Why are the actions of the ISI, affecting the civilian diaspora of India? The ISI would never, in my opinion, target the Indian Army directly with indirect aggression. That would be an undeclared act of hostility. It seems that the ISI is acting on it's own, but to what end? A destabilized India, would be very dangerous to Pakistan. Pakistan is aware that it is faced with a difficult situation at the domestic level. If India did not survive, how would Pakistan survive? Many entities in Pakistan are considered as embarrassing in Pakistan. Is it that the administration feels that it will be left without the faith of those who are the supporters of the cause of Pakistan? I am sure, that Pakistan is aware of no immediate danger emanating out of India. Does the government of Pakistan trust her people, and do the people of Pakistan trust her government? Does the administration of Pakistan, function as a government? Is the Government of Pakistan the representative of all state institutions? Perhaps, the bureaucracy has no real power in Pakistan, because there is no power above the bureaucracy. How can India help Pakistan from being a cannibal towards itself? India and Pakistan must make one another more accountable to each other. If the national borders between the two nations were opened, then Indian state institutions would need to function better than they are now. I am not an ill wisher of Pakistan, as many Pakistani's are not ill wishers of India. The points that I have expressed, are known to the Indian Government, and Indian Army. Their powers of perception perhaps surpass that of the common man. The Indian Muslim is identical in some ways to his Pakistani counterpart, in a cultural aspect. At least, this is true of the Muslims who share the border with Pakistan. How is it not beneficial, if we did not have such strong individual national identities, when we contemplate each other as nations? Let us stop differentiating between us and them. Unfortunately, or otherwise, the militants say, that their guide in Islam, is the Islamic Seminary at Deoband. Even in the North West Frontier Province, the Deoband Seminary is well regarded, or perhaps it is regarded as paramount. It is very evident, that the nation of Pakistan needs help. In such a situation, let India be positively proactive. The only way that borders may not be contemplated within Pakistan, is when India does not contemplate a border with pakistan, as a principal of apparent perception.
