Another Coup In Pakistan: But who is bothered

I am not a TV person, so when the news of coup was flased in the before me in the grocery I was taken aback, aback but not surprised. When was Pakistan was not under any emergency, I asked myself. However, technically speaking Pakistan can be called a psuedo-democracy, a democracy with an autocratic President who also happens to be Chief of Army.

As usual, media was awashed with this news, countinuosly airing the troop movements, and the views of oppostions parties whose powers were suppressed. As the world views kept pouring in, so does the Channels were fed my fresh international feed. Whatever may be the world reaction, or reaction in India, one thing is certain, no one really seriously bothered to take the view of people of Pakistan, the awam which is really being affected by such political instability, or the people themselves are not bothered.

With country seeped in the history of political instability. It would not be unsual for the people to not to be bothered about such changes. They might say "Chalta hai yaar! yahan k to yehi mizaaz hai." Even the media have had sensed that, thats why they didn't asked people about there opinion. It is also possible that since it is an emergency, people might even be disallowed to form an opinion, " Never bothered, we need good orators, who will be translating whatever being said. Also the channel needs good publicity." , they might have thought. Kudos to people (media always have ensured it share), they know how to handle these situations, these things happens, every country has its own speciality, and this is the speciality of Pakistan; they might say.

But is it that simple to describe whole event that took place, can that be taken as public reaction. In this case I must admit I don't know the answers. Living in India, even with it shortcomings, has made me a free man with free views. I still cannot digest, even with the common history, why is India different from its neighbour. I am sorry, I might be swerving away from the topic. But if people of a country makes that country then in this case who is bothered.

I don't care about Pakistan, but still, it makes me think. That if we switch off the oxygen of a patient, then how long is he gonna survive.
