Will Pakistan join India or Disappear?
Uttar Pradesh’s Chief Minister, Yogi Adityanath in his recent speech said something astonishing about Pakistan’s destiny. Quoting the ideas of Saint Arvind, he said that either Pakistan will be absorbed into India, or the latter will cease to exist on earth.
Of course, this sort of assertion has raised much conversation and controversy. To see what this means let me trace the background to his statement and the ideas he used.
The Statement
At a recent rally in Lucknow, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath addressed the crowd on several subjects, but his statements about Pakistan were most noteworthy. He said that a man, Saint Arvind, an Indian philosopher and a nationalist had a vision of a great India. CM Yogi employed Saint Arvind’s ideas to opine the fact that the future of Pakistan depends on its association with India.
Who Was Saint Arvind?
Saint Arvind who is popularly referred to as Sri Aurobindo was one of the most prominent thinkers and writers of the country. He had the conviction that India had a mission and that the nation ultimately would integrate under a superior spiritual and political banner. CM Yogi’s use of the term ‘Saint Arvind’ implied that the future of Pakistan can either be its merger with India or its extinction.
The Historical Context
India and Pakistan have had a difficult relationship since they both gained their independence in 1947. The British partition led to the formation of Pakistan; the two nations have had several types of conflicts and issues. Some of the complex concerns have been the conflict over the control of the region of Kashmir.
The idea that Pakistan should merge into India is already in CM Yogi’s mouth so to say means that the best possible scenario is, in fact, the inclusion of the former into the latter. He strongly opined that this could foster the realisation of a more stable and fully developed region. But, many people believe this may not be possible now because of the prevailing circumstances and relations between the two countries.
Reactions to the Statement
CM Yogi’s remarks have sparked a range of reactions. In the same breath, his comments are seen as a forceful appeal for unity by supporters and people who paint a picture of the region’s future. As for the second hypothesis about ‘the consolidation of Pakistan with India’, they suppose that various problems might be solved in a case with it.
The critics nonetheless find it simple and unrealistic to give such a statement. They argue that such remarks could increase tensions and bring about new problems and also put a stopper on finding solutions to existing conflicts. A union of the two nations is altogether viewed by many as unlikely and as being damaging to the process of negotiations.
International observers are also pinning their ears on the statement by CM Yogi. They are thinking about how some remarks could influence the nature of the relations between India and Pakistan and, therefore, the region’s stability.
Conclusion
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s forecast of the future of Pakistan based on Saint Arvind’s philosophy has created a lot of controversy. Even though the statement reflects a certain conception of the unity of the nation, a vision with great potential, many questions and concerns.
The future of Pakistan will therefore depend upon the result of internal and external factors which will happen in the future. There are no ‘half-baked’ thoughts about merging with India. Such talk is entertaining and is good for educating oneself about history and current events.
As the talks progress, it will be great to watch how the comments of CM Yogi bring out the India-Pakistan and the rest of the region dynamic.
