Pakistan's Internal Dilemma.

Pakistan's dilemma is that she is not well represented in the house of representatives, in Islamabad, adequately, by representatives, from all of her provinces. It is said that Balochistan is a very resource rich province of Pakistan. But do the politicians of Balochistan have the same standing in Islamabad, as do the politicians of Sindh and the Punjab? What about the politicians from the North West Frontier Provinces? Pakistan wants a strong national identity, and the semi independent identity of the North West Frontier tribes, and the tribes from Balochistan, do not accord with the previously mentioned identity. It would perhaps be wise to foster this strong national identity, within and above the semi independent identity of the tribes. But, to come back to my earlier presumption, why, if so, are the Balochistan politicians not important to Pakistan politics? And also why does the same apply to the N W F P politicians? Why are the Punjab landlords seen as more patriotic than the leaders of the mentioned provinces? Perhaps, in Pakistan, first, the political party comes to power, and then, the political agenda is formulated. In other words, the political agenda keeps on changing, after the political party, comes to power in Pakistan. In this situation, the winner would not want to share power with those who are not in power. So, this is the cause of a circular operation, perhaps, in Pakistan politics, which is perceived as negative, by the rest of the democratic world. Also, Pakistan does not have a very democratic identity. The nation was not formed out of feelings of love between her and her neighbors. The nation was formed out of a force of intent, rather than understanding. Hence, perhaps, the political setup of Pakistan can be explained. The neighbors of Pakistan can perhaps, be proactive, in assisting goodwill to foster inside Pakistan, between herself, and her neighbors, and also can help Pakistan to be prosperous and happy inside of herself.
