Pakistan

                                        The creation of Pakistan is a parting gift to India from the British Empire. The British rulers have employed the theory of divide and rule in India. They could have created Dalistan, but the credit goes to Mahatma Gandhi and Dr B R Ambedkar, who assured reservations to Dalit and Backward communities. Otherwise, the British rulers were on the verge of creating separate voting constituencies for Dalits. 

                                     Similarly, they encourage muslims in India to demand a separate state for Muslims. Mohmedali Zinnah, the leader of Muslims in India, demanded a separate country for Indian Muslims as they cannot stay together. It was a strange demand despite of that Hindus and Muslims stayed together in India for Several Centuries. Mohmedali Zinnah, who demanded Pakistan was from a Hindu descendant. Jinnah was living a Western life, and his majority of his friends were Hindu.

                                    Mohmedali Jinnah initially joined the Congress, but he found that he had no place in the top leadership of the Congress, as a few top leaders dominated the Congress. He also thought that in such circumstances, he had no significant place in Congress. Thereafter, he went to England, where he met some influential local leaders of the British government who advised him to return to India so that their British Indian official could help him with the cause of muslims in India. That is how he returned and started the movement of separate land for muslims in India, i.e., Pakistan.  He started getting momentum for his demand for Pakistan.  It was a political demand with a conflict of his ego with the then Congress leadership. Anyhow, it became very difficult to run the coalition government of Congress and the Muslim League after independence and partition, as the only alternative was supported and encouraged by the then British Government. In short, the British Government wanted to leave India poor and weak.

                               Pakistan is very much in existence, which is financially and militarily supported by Western Powers. Pakistan has now become an instrument for creating difficulties in the progress of India. It is like cancer for India. Indirectly, it serves the purpose of Western powers that India may not become powerful and challenge them like China.

                             Pakistan was created in the name muslim religion, but its purpose was not served. The Baluchistan and Sindh provinces of Pakistan now want to separate from Pakistan.  Pakhtunistan also wants to be separated from Pakistan. East Pakistan and now Bangladesh have already separated from Pakistan. Besides that, Muslims in India seem to be happier than Muslims of Pakistan and other Muslim Countries. Therefore, it is very clear that a country created based on religion cannot sustain for a long time without  Economic development. But for some powers, Pakistan is an instrument to create hurdles in the development of India so that it does not become a world power.

Chinese Free Trade With Africa

                                                         China is infiltrating most developing countries through infrastructure loans or free trade agreements. Its move is sometimes for political influence or for trade advantage.  However, China's success is very amazing in 54 African countries that are poor or have political instabilities, but have vast natural resources. In the year 2024, the total trade of China with African countries reached $296 billion. This shows the success of Chinese free trade policies instead of tarrif war of America.

                                                     China has opened a Chinese mall for Clothes, Towels, Containers, air fryers, etc., in Kenya so that people do not have to go to different shops to purchase the required things.  Even the price is also low and reasonable in Comparison. China has already made an announcement that it will grant duty-free entry of all African products, except for a few African Countries. What is the attraction for China in Africa? China has eyes on African mineral resources. Angola is oil-rich, while Congo is mineral-rich. Besides that, South Africa is a hub of rich mineral resources. In return, Africa is exporting a small amount of manufactured goods,  Agriculured products, and Wines. African countries also encourage China to establish industrial zones for producing goods that can be re-exported to China. It will be advantageous for African countries due to the free trade policies of China. This shows that a zero tariff policy is the best political decision in favor of China, in contrast to the American heavy tariff policy.

                                             In short, the zero-tariff policy of China with African countries has made China popular in trade with African countries.
