The sentiment surrounding the US invitation to Pakistan's Army Chief, Asim Munir, is predominantly negative. Indian commenters express feelings of betrayal, distrust, and perceived diplomatic undermining, criticizing the US for its diplomatic actions. There is a belief that India's foreign policy under current leadership is weakening. Historical grievances, such as the US's past relations with Pakistan and ongoing tensions regarding Kashmir and terrorism, exacerbate these feelings. Meanwhile, some Pakistani commenters hail the invitation as a diplomatic success. The overarching theme is skepticism towards US diplomacy and its impact on India-Pakistan-US relations.

It's amazing how Pakistan has survived this long with the leadership like these jokers

These lot are open imperialist blunt and simple and if the previous two weeks didn't get that point across i don't think anything will

The issue is we are under the illustion that they are working on some sort of "moral compass" while the only compass they are following is of absolute imperalistic self interest.

They don't believe Kashmir belongs to them because "the Maharaja gave it to them" they believe it belongs to them because of it's strategic importance and that it can both cut Pakistan of from China as well cut off our water

If the MahaRaja argument was one they believed in both Hyderabad and Junagadh would be ours by that same stupid logic.

India decries "terrorism" and proxy warfare from us but also have actively engaged in Proxy warfare in Pakistan, Bangladesh,SriLanka and Nepal but they won't apply the same standards their.

their entire topi drama is one of Imperialistic self interest which is why South Asia as a region prefers cooperation with China a nation we share next to nothing with culturall over the likes of Indians

Who are clearly looking to create British Raj 2.0 Brown Sahib edition for themselves while pink washing their imperialistic ambitions

Exactly. Hari Singh signed the instrument of accession without consulting his people and without even informing them. He went against their wishes. The Indians who come here crying about how Pakistan violated the instrument of accession fail to realise that it was never signed by Pakistan or even the people of Kashmir. They weren’t even aware that Hari Singh was in cahoots with India. So by that logic, India should return Junagadh and Hyderabad to us as well

At time of independence in **1947**, there were over **565 princely states** in British India. These states were **not directly ruled by British Crown**, but by local monarchs under British suzerainty. When British left, these states were given choice: **join India, join Pakistan or remain independent** (in theory). Out of these, only **a handful** tried to assert independence or had controversial accessions. Lets look at how it unfolded:

**1. Junagadh**

* **Ruler**: Muslim (Nawab Mahabat Khan)
* **Population**: \~96% Hindu
* **Decision**: Acceded to Pakistan
* **Controversy**: India rejected; used military and political pressure; held a plebiscite
* **Status**: Now part of Gujarat, but Pakistan still shows it as part of its map

# 2. Jammu &amp; Kashmir

* **Ruler**: Hindu (Maharaja Hari Singh)
* **Population**: Majority Muslim
* **Decision**: Acceded to India
* **Controversy**: Pakistan objected; war broke out; UN called for plebiscite (never held)
* **Status**: Still disputed; heavily militarized; Article 370 revoked in 2019

  
**3. Hyderabad**

* **Ruler**: Muslim (Nizam Osman Ali Khan)
* **Population**: \~85% Hindu
* **Decision**: Wanted to stay independent
* **Controversy**: India invaded (Operation Polo), annexed forcibly
* **Status**: Integrated into India; no UN dispute raised, unlike Kashmir

Kashmir did not belong to the Maharaja. He was a shill imposed by the British for helping them defeat the Sikh Empire.

“I shuddered at the thought of the havoc which would follow a decision by the Ruler of Kashmir to join India. The blame for the widespread destruction of life and property would lie directly on the British Government. I therefore felt it was my duty, as the only Britisher left, to follow a course which would prevent this. And further, as a liberal member of the world’s paragon of democracy, I considered that the whole of Kashmir, including the Gilgit Province, belonged indubitably to Pakistan in view of the fact that the population was predominantly Muslim. Partisan, traitor, revolutionary, I may have been, but that evening my sentiments dictated that if the Maharaja acceded to India, then I would forego all allegiance to him and I would not rest content until I had done the utmost in my power to ensure that not only the Gilgit Province joined Pakistan, but the whole of Kashmir also” —Major William Brown. Leader of the Gilgit Scouts in 1947

I feel bad for the people on the ground getting killed and living in squalor. But bro, Pakistan sided with Islamists and is now finding out what Islamists are all about. 

Can't help but feel like nobody owes them any support.

LittleLoyal16

They gave them a safe heaven.  Now they are doing the usual thing. Who would think that this was going to happen?

As a tropical bird once said "Terrorism is a stupid game where you win stupid prizes, and nobody plays that stupid game as much as pakistan". The Pakistani ISI is almost peerless in its support and sponsoring of terrorist groups, only the IRGC comes close. 

But not even the IRGC would be stupid enough to house those terror groups inside their own country, most of the iranian backed groups are abroad. Pakistan on the other hand is, allegedly, a safe haven for almost a dozen different groups who operate camps, training bases, supply depots, from within pakistan itself.

Didn’t we have to dig Bin Laden out of there?  And weren’t they pissed as hell when we did?  Maybe don’t give our enemies comfort?

KP_Wrath

Is it sad that the line “[The terrorists] strategically avoid targeting US interests” is arguably the biggest win in our entire 20 year long Afghanistan fuckup? 

It took two decades, trillions of dollars, thousands of lives lost, and an entire generation traumatized on both sides, but finally, *finally*, we achieved the thing we really desired…

…which is making sure that every single idiot religious fundamentalist militia leader in the country has learned to leave the U.S. the FUCK out of this bullshit. 

As for the Pakistani government, congratulations. Not only have you convinced the U.S. to stop giving a shit about Afghanistan, you have also successfully convinced us to stop giving a shit about *you.* 

May you reap what you have sown.

Hey Pakistan, 

On a scale of 1: Fucking around

to 10: Finding Out

where would you rate your current experience?

Because you spent 2 whole ass decades supplying, training, helping, aiding and abetting, and letting moles inside your government feed the Insurgents intel when we were doing raids and taking out all sorts of regional threats…did you ever think about the consequences if America decided you’re not to be trusted and not to be given two fucks about? 

Because guess what mother fuckers!

I don’t understand why we keep calling Pakistan a country.

SiteLineShowsYYC

I was at FOB Shank as late as 2018, guarding the so-called "silk road" where weapons would flood into Afghanistan from Pakistan. If any of our politicians lift so much as a finger to aid Pakistan now after the YEARS we spent being subverted by them I will dedicate my vote to their opposition at every opportunity, regardless of policy. That entire country should be ostracized and ignored.

Dear villagers, remember the band of arsonists that I've been hiding in my house after they burned your village? They're setting my house on fire so if you'd help me with that, that'd be great. What do you mean by "Burn, motherfucker, burn"?

Aren’t they friends with winnie the pooh? Why not ask them for hel- oh wait…

What’s next, Biden flies to Pakistan and gets assassinated, leading to the restarting of the war economy and the rise of PMCs?

If taliban takes over Pakistan, it would be a good opportunity for India to annex it back.

I’ve heard rumors of a US/Chinese plan to secure Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal should it fall into the wrong hands. Is there any truth to that or is that a load of shit?

Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, received an invitation to attend the US Army's 250th anniversary celebrations in Washington DC, coinciding with heightened tensions between India and Pakistan. The US's decision to invite Munir is perceived as a diplomatic setback by Indian political figures, highlighting concerns about the perceived 'hyphenation' of US relations with India and Pakistan.
