Pakistan. Israeli Aggression and Pakistan. Indian Designs and Pakistan
• A Protagonist of the Unity of Muslim Ummah:
• Geographically, Pakistan is situated at the centre of the Islamic countries of Africa and
Asia. It is linked to these Muslim states through land and sea routes and thus not only
its ideological background, but its geographical centrality necessities that it supports
the unity of Muslim world. Prior to the cessation of East Pakistan, it was the largest
Islamic state and naturally was in the vanguard of the movement for Islamic unity. Even
afterwards, it actively works for the mutual alliance and unity of the Muslims.
• A Check to Russian Expansionism:
• To the north of Pakistan is Russia which for centuries has planned to penetrate
towards the south in search of warm waters. The invasion of Afghanistan by
Russian forces was a part of this plan. However, Pakistan due to religious and
cultural bonds with Afghan people gave its full support and thus frustrated the
Russian designs. In this way, Pakistan for quite half a century has posed a great
obstacle in the way of Russian expansionism.

is the reason that the other countries of South Asia (Srilanka and Bangladesh etc.) feel a little
secured and India is forced to give them their due status in SAARC.
