Such an insight transcends Marx's narrow material dialecticism and speaks to the tangibility of building (and razing) of historical projects. That is, we quite literally walk on top of the past as we cast off our presents onto the giant heap. The Indian-Pakistani rivalry, which harkens back to the 1947 partition creating the two nations and to the historic Hindu-Muslim animosity, is now being grafted onto the setting of a nuclear planet.

And that's not counting the crippling cost of a now inevitable subcontinental arms race. Back in 1974, Pakistani prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto vowed his country would go nuclear even if his people had to "eat grass." Now the nukes are a reality, and the grass diet may be just around the corner...
