The Pakistan Army chief will be at the ground-breaking ceremony of the Kartarpur Corridor today, where two ministers from the Modi government will also be present. Should they walk out, or refuse to exchange greetings with him? Shows the perils of mixing delicate diplomacy with petty prime time “warfare”.
On this question which has plagued the lives of the Indians since 1947, and that of the world, we must give way to the people. What was not done in 1947, for reasons that we do not understand, must finally be done. Let politicians and other bureaucrats in their world. Maybe then they will understand what the real policy is!
This is impossibility of a possibility. The tussle between india and pakistan is not just an issue based clash. The roots are too deep, an ethnic group by structure aligned for expansion… And no logic stands when comes religious following and a diverse humble nation called Bharat. The basic problem is it is fight between a nation and religion polarised geography. The partition was half baked… It was not required, so many muslims in bharat and they follow islam and this makes the country allegedly great nation.
Since beginning the polarisation was intended to spread religion based demographics alterations and kashmir is just an example.
It was never been a politically neutral issue, Nehru and jinna were pioneers and just to satisfy own ego, they pushed both the groups into a deep black hole.
What happened subsequent were completely politics.. each leader exploited the hatred to extreme and today any attempt to fill the gap is impossibility.
You killed us in border, you killed in kashmir, you tried to break us, you did kill all around and your priority always was demean our nation.
Leaving politics, suppose the intellect group try to take lead to make situation normal.. will they be able to reverse the mindset of the generation. The possibility is impossible and when comes religion, self existence, non of a singular citizen will behave like a saint. It is always easy to preach and suggest but living the same way, just utopian concept.
We were enemy politically, but now no more confined to poltical enmity.. now this is Darwin’s survival war -not a scribe view or poet’s dream line.
Yes you can’t change neighborhood but does it make compulsion to compromise?
May be this part of bharat has moved way ahead.. only issue is we think too much, our intellectual lot expect too much, we need not to exploit much brain here just move ahead with safeguarding our citizens.
Let there be full stop on discussion what to be done.. just suggest all to concentrate on more creative things.
