NationalInterestPod: Why Pakistan is no Islamic state but an anti-Indian one with Army for rent, ideology of convenience

Almost playing to a script, US President Donald Trump announced his 20-point resolution for Gaza in the presence of Benjamin Netanyahu and hinted that even the larger Palestinian question could be rolled into it. Within hours, never mind the time zones, Pakistan was the first Islamic country to rise in the fullest support.

 

Pakistan’s has been a rentier army available to a generous bidder, Muslim or Christian. The ideological foundation of Pakistan is not Islam or Islamism. It is anti-Indianism. It will make any compromises, rent services to any patron, dump Iran yesterday and today and tomorrow, abandon Palestinians for eternity, and kill fellow Muslims as long as it brings it wherewithal to weaken and challenge India. — Watch this week's #NationalInterest with @ShekharGupta
