It was mentioned earlier that one major reason for Pakistan’s decline was political instability, and the second reason was the end of the strategic interests of those global powers that had brought Pakistan into existence for their specific objectives. Since the world is always changing, global empires and powers also evolve with time, and they adapt their goals to new necessities.
Pakistan was brought into existence by the British Empire at a time when their power was at its zenith. The purpose was to ensure that the vast Indian subcontinent did not become a headache for the British Empire, and that the great Afghanistan, which had fought several wars against the British, would no longer stand in their way. For this reason, Britain divided these two regions.
If the true purpose of Pakistan’s creation had been to liberate Muslims from oppression and tyranny, then why didn’t the British include those areas of Afghanistan along with it?
In reality, the plan for Pakistan’s creation was devised by the British to prevent the emergence of a large and strong country, and the second objective was to divide Muslims into different parts so that they could not reunite and establish a government in India.
After Pakistan came into existence, not only did Muslims fail to gain governance in India, but the Muslims who remained in India are still deprived of their basic rights to this day. And when the sun of the British Empire set, the original philosophical foundation for Pakistan’s existence became meaningless along with it.
Over the past half-century, Pakistan served for a long time as a useful tool for the American superpower against Russia, and for China against India. But when the Ukraine war began, America itself became entangled in the West against Russia, and now Pakistan has become a burden rather than a benefit for it. Similarly, as a major rival to China, India can now become a more suitable and stronger ally for America. Consequently, in the eyes of the West, this project called Pakistan has now become a source of loss rather than profit.
The danger of Pakistan’s end intensified further when relations between China and India began to improve. If relations between the two countries return to normal, Pakistan will become unnecessary for China as well. Now, as Pakistan has reached the extreme of political and economic instability, global powers are withdrawing their support from it. And that Pakistan, whose foundation was always based on the crutches of external powers, has now reached the brink of disintegration.
It should also be remembered that when a country suffers from political and economic instability, only national unity or its geographical position can save it. But there is no such strong national cohesion in Pakistan.
