A person or group suffering from this syndrome actually develops a liking/love for oppression & the oppressor. Actually the pariah is so much ill treated & abused after completely overpowering him that any lack of abuse or slightest reduction in abuse is magnified in his mind as an act of great kindness & he develops a positive feeling for the abuser.

He supported his argument with some strong evidences like the Muslims of Gujarat, India though, are thoroughly suppressed & ill-treated by Hindu extremist groups, still vote & elect people from extremist groups.
Is he collected proof that all muslim vote for extremist group. In both India and Pakistan election result never depend on voters. it is always pre seleccted.

I put here another example "Hougo chavez" of "Vanzvela" was declared rebelious and then put in jail but people of his country made him president for 3 consuctive terms because of his good policies and development in the country. not because of his cruelty.
if cruelty will be forcefull thing than in Pakistan, why Musharaf is out of Govt? I think he had enough power.

According to him, same was true in Vietnam & still now in many parts of the world it happens when the oppressed groups start loving & supporting their oppressors. Like in Pakistan, there are millions of people out there, who are always looking for slightest positive signs from the militants to call them patriots, the true & kind Muslims who have devoted their lives for a great cause. Like recently, few people even called HakeemUllah Mehsud a "Shaheed". According to the writer, Pakistani Nation in general is suffering from this syndrome due to prolonged war, bestiality & ruthlessness shown by extremists & repeated failures on the part of security agencies. So the writer concluded that Pakistan needs to fight this war on Psychological grounds as well & needs to develop a policy to combat this irrational mental inclination of its masses.

Pakistan make war of Afghanistan its war. it is not at all war of Pakistan.
if people of tribal area declare militants their leader that dosent mean that this is due to threat, or they all are Psychological patients, Not at all, Like "chavez" Afghan leaders are good for their own people, that may be bad in our point of view not for people of that area.
if you continously teases a calm dog he will bark on you in return at last. so if you are continously attacking on Afghan and north waziristan and dont allow them peace full life and you expect that they will sit calmly then this is your foolishness.
so to take their revenge they select best people from their own tribes and area who will protect their basic rights.
