The conciliatory commitment we can notice here in the form of bilateral talks between two labeled rivalries- India and Pakistan is worth-discussing and apprehendable.
February 25 would be the day marked with the settlement of many unresolved disputes which have either remained unresolved owing to the silence maintained by either sides , or through some external means to thwart any such action whenever taken in the past. We can notice blend of voices, some disagreeing on the relevance of this talk and displaying their disbelief on the future implications, while some are welcoming this move with both hands. With no surprise, I find both such voices having their reasons to believe and act---a perfect democratic exposure. However, we cannot deny from the fact that both nations would try to promote their own interests over other's.
India has its primary concern over the growing terror in the region for which it accuses Pakistan's political and military condone. Talking about 2001 Parliament attack, 2008 Mumbai massacre and now the Pune blasts; investigations revealed Pakistani soil as the sole culprit. Abashedly, entire catch-ups, detentions, legal charges and actions and all those diplomatic talk-sharing landed nowhere in the vicinity of effective solution. Owing to the general speculation, India must be asking Pakistan to get a strong hold over unconsiderable movements linked with terror in the region, alongwith the demand to legally ban LeT (Lashkar-e-Taiba) and Jamaat-Ud-Dawa----the prime suspects of Mumbai massacre and Pune blasts.
Pakistan has to attend these unfinished business if it is seeking for a healthier relation with us, failing on which would definitely once again drive the fate to an unpredictably abysmal path.
Talking about the Kashmir issue, I can only urge both sides as to reach a consensus where the welfare of the Kashmiris is of the paramount concern. It is their land, therefore let their pursuit counted first over entire egoistical dogma.
It is being said that India's role in the rehabilitation in Afghanistan is sneered from the Pakistan's side, and it is being claimed as an action to undercast Pakistan's image over the global platform. This can be an another tile on 25th feb talks. We all have seen drastic condition prevailing in Afghanistan over two decades. The extent to which people there in Afghanistan have suffered in all senses, whether it be societal, economic or personal; there should not be any space for such gibberish talks when it comes to resettle humanity in a region. Think we are all humans...mortals..!!
In continuation of all diplomatic moves to be carried forward to settle the unsettled issues, I feel the need for public involvement at a larger scale what we have seen in the contrast to the issues where Pakistani cricketers were excluded from bids in the IPL 2010. All that public commitments made in media when asked signal a friendly and trust-worthy futuristic aspect being awaited of from a long decade.
hi saurav.
ReplyDeletefirst i should complement you on taking up a sensitive topic like indo-pak relationship.
i think peace talks between the the two countries were due for a long time.
After the mumbai attack, which severed the ties between the two countries ,this is a positive step .
the meeting of the foreign secretaries of both the countries on 25th feb can mark a new beginning .
i think that indo -pak relationship will thrive if it is cultivated.
the start of a serious ,responsible talk is bound to produce peace, prosperity between the two nation .
the primary concern of india right now is its internal security.
the recent blast in pune has proved that no place is safe enough.
pakistan has failed in its front in stopping the terrorist organisations from using its soil for carriying out terrorist activities against india. it has also failed in punishing the terror suspects of 26/11.
besides all these the kashmir issue is also a major cause of dipute between both nations.
i think all these disputes cannot be solved by
meeting of the leaders of both the countries
but it requires a powerful awakening among the masses on both sides.
i would like to draw your attention at your verdict that these issues cant be resolved by talks.
ReplyDeleteIndia has always been a pacifist. It never wanted war from its front. And still we have lots of issues which need to be addressed in order to make India stand among developed nations. Any step other than diplomatic talks would not be appreciable ..or say unjustified.
Moreover international intervention in managing such issues is not prudent in my opinion. We have already seen the results of such interventions...It should be highly taken care of.
If you have some other views, you are welcomed to share.
