Pakistan is strange state and a strange community of people. The expressions of people of Pakistan in general seems to be the expression of the majority Pakistani Punjabi and too an extent the Pashtuns who have been embedded with the Pakistani Punjabi psychology. But still, we can keep the regional psychology which overwise on its total aggregate psychology apart.
A classic case which exhibits the societal flaw is the recent Asia cup. Having been beaten comprehensively despite the final humdinger, Pakistan continues to remain upbeat. An example being a cricketer who flaunted the controversial AK-47 celebration in a defeated cause, being feted for his performance and his Gun imitation being exemplified for an ad campaign with a sticker of the gun for a branding deal.
It continues to show that for Pakistanis it's the wounded hard fought returned soldier which matters despite defeat. For he will be surely sent back to the frontlines even though it may be a sacrifice since as per Pakistan it's for the Allahs cause.
On the political side of things their FM is still ecstatic in response to Indian Army Chiefs warning assertions to Pakistan in case it tries to do any mischief in the future. As per the FM the nation was born out of Allah's will and Allah will surely set them apart in the future despite the chest thumping around "6-0".
As a podcaster rightly said in his show, India has to be right and win every time against Pakistan be it in the military arena or sports arena but for Pakistan they just need to win once (and even that does not matter as per the example of the cricketer) , and it will be enough to rally them in in the delusion or illusion of the "God" promised victory eventually . How do you fight back such a thought?
