Reforming Religious Fundamentalists
I wish you could elaborate on the aspect of 'Romantic Revolutionaries'. In mlitary Sociology we can also call them sar Ba kafak (Coffin on the head). In my view they are romantics.

A Weak Pakistan is a Threat to Neighbours
I hope you have a reasonable degree of perception that Taliban was a creation of Pakistan (BB-Babar)-Dick Cheney-Zalmay (USA)Oil Cartel Connect. Who dined Taliban in Alska? Who adopted Jalal Ud Din Haqqani as a Chum? Who scuttled Taliban from moderating themselves? Who brought OBL as guest to Afghanistan?

and now we come to know that UK and USA anre maintaining contacts with Taliban, an admission that comes when Pakistan has been leaking information on such contacts, and being pressured for contacts itself as such.And yet there is another strain supported by USA-UK and India fighting inside Pakistan.

'So purely in the spirit of making that observation, do you see any basic change in the worldview of Pakistan's External Jihadis?'
In your perception an external Jihadi is one who fights in Afghanistan, Kashmir, Iraq and maybe a few crackers in India.
The Afghan Jihadi was created against the godless communism in pursuit of Brezinski Doctrine. The sunni jihadi was created by them to contain Iran. Inside Pakistan, they became sectarian terrorists.
Kashmiri Freedom Fighter has existed for over 60 years and was a creation of a ficticious intruement of asccesion. At some point in the 80s, some Pakistani Jihadis joined them and many became double agents. So India also joined the recipe.
Iraqi Jihadi is a reaction to the occupation of their land and its a freedom struggle. However, they are beng split on sectarian lines.
Two Jihadis are coming up in India. First the VHP and other rightists playing blood holi in Orissa,Ahmedabad and arsoners of Samjotha Express etc and secondly the fringe Muslims (not sure) blowing crackers created by india itself.
Now if Pakistan weakens, it will be a conduit for export of many of these sentiments to India.
While Zalmay was the special pseudo expert on Afghanistan, India is becoming the advisor on Pakistan affairs which is very dangerous for India itself.
With you ability of drafting theories, I am sure you know all this already and just drawing me in. So have it.

Dont be so Naive.
Unfortunately, Pakistan has always played according to US script and now Pakistan realsies how dangerous it can turn.
How are the Taliban contacts suddenly openeing up?
Do you think USA or UK ever broke contacts. The only difference is that this time, they want to keep Pakistan out and use Saudi Arabia instead. But even this would not succeed, unless Pakistan is co-opted. Note it somewhere.

I am amazed by the flexibility of many Indians espousing Liberalism without knowing where it comes from. It comes from the liberal perspective of political economy meaning that individual interests surpass and over rule the interests of the country. Fifty years ago it was Fabian Socialism. This attitude of becoming nomads in own land is what irks me.

I do agree with some of his conclusions. For example, we need to debate if Indic Culture (5000BC-1857)had the capacity to modernise without the clutches of European Modernity. My view is that it had, though it may have been slower in the beggining. Beginning from the recorded texts from the half way point, the people of Indus from Nandas to Mauryas to Muslim rulers has a complete system of revenue, education and justice. The British upset this and did create new elites.I am amazed by the flexibility of many Indians espousing Liberalism without knowing where it comes from.
