The Inter Services Intelligence or ISI is seen as the main problem in Pakistan. It is a state within a state, obeys no one and its loyalty to the state is questionable. The ISI created the Taliban and even now may be helping them fight the Paki army. No one knows what its agenda is and it is possible that there are elements who want a panislamic Caliphate stretching over the globe and following universal sharia. Thus Pakistan will never be able to control or eliminate the Taliban and may eventually collapse leaving nuclear weapons in the hands of rogue elements. India also has a similar organisation which is beyond the control of the politicians. It does not want a Caliphate but wants effective control of all institutions of the country to do as it wants. It is called the Indian Administrative Service or the IAS. It is also a state within the state. The IAS has concentrated all power in its hands and does whatever it likes. It has the distinction of being the worst administrative service in Asia but awarded itself huge pay rises last year. It is not trusted by the other services such as the Police, Foreign service and Customs. Last year, while awarding itself huge salary increases, it humiliated the armed forces with pennies so infuriating the chiefs of the forces that they refused to meet IAS officers. IAS fellows ignore RTI enquiries or give false reasons why they will not answer and regularly ignore court orders including those of the Supreme Court with impunity. The country will remain third world while the IAS remains in existence and, unfortunately, there is no one with the stature to take them on.
