Today Pakistan is found in the midst of new a new Great Game, that seemingly challenging its very existing and survival as an ideological and sovereign state. Pakistan, that was once a front line proxy in cold war against erstwhile communism has been badly embroiled in on going war against terrorism. Pakistan is paying very heavy price because of its geo-strategic location and ideological background & more so because of its ill-defined foreign policy. Presence of occupying forces in Afghanistan, uncalled for drone attacks in Pakistani territories, Indian nefarious activities in Afghanistan, worsening law & order situation, socio-political instability and ever increasing political chaos are adding into the Pakistan’s state of turmoil & disarray. Sounding military success in Swat calls for immediate & well thought-out sociopolitical follow up plans aiming to improve the socioeconomic conditions of the area. Islamabad’s mishandling of the ongoing insurgency on its soil could even lead to dismantling of Pakistan as a state should it remain unchallenged?
