The Worst Ever Butterfly Effect

Imagine how cricket fans would have felt if Sachin Tendulkar and Wasim Akram had played for a single nation-India. This is just a post about how a single incident have had its impact in the entire world.

Never Ever in the history would there been kargil war, three other wars with Pakistan, mumbai 26/11 attacks, attack on parliament, infiltration,Indus water dispute wit Pak, construction of barbed wires in bangladesh borders, Farakha barage issue or mores island dispute with Bangladesh. With Jinnah as PM and Nehru as deputy PM or the other way round, we could have saved the lives of 2 million deaths in the communal riots that followed partition. Of course, our Father of Nation wouldnt have died in the manner he died.

I swear we would have overtaken China not only in its Population but also in terms of GDP and hence would have become the fastest developing nation in the world. The money and the time spent in wars, fighting terrorists, developing weapons could have been channeled for development purpose of our nation. Swat valley and Siachen would have become tourist spots instead of taliban hold or highest battle field. Abdul kalam would have joined hands with AQ khan to make India a nuclear nation. We would have got atleast a couple of more world cups and Olympic medals in cricket and hockey respectively. well, we would have been the nation with highest Muslim and highest Hindu population in the world and would have established our credentials of being truly secular.

There wouldn't have been better beneficiary than Pakistan. Lahore and Karachi would have become IT and finance hub. Girls in Pakistan would be thronging IITs and IIMs instead of going to schools with fear of getting killed by irrational fundamentalist. There would have news that girls are topping in the board exams rather than news about girls suffering acid attacks from hardliners. Life would have been so beautiful for the people of Pakistan.

Trust me, the whole world would have been different from what they are now. Lets not forget taliban's main recriuts were from madrashas from PAk. But for Pak, Taliban wouldn't have grown to the level it had grown. There wouldn't have been Al-qaeda, no 9/11 or 7/7, no Afghan war. If afghanistan would have been our neighbouring state and there is possibility that Russia dint invade Afghan and hence there was no reason for the raise of Taliban. The world political geography would have changed. Muslim nations wouldn't have been branded as terrorists and India would have played an important role in its neighbors Iran and Afghanistan and the situation in the middle east would have been stable.

The seeds of partition were sowed by 1905 Partition of Bengal. If Curzon had not brought out this nasty idea, India wouldn't have been parted and everything would have been good for the nation and for the world. This is an ideal example of butterfly effect. An irreversible mistake done in the past had brought havocs all around the world..
