The Writer of this article is a frightened man and unnecessary importance given to the Khalistan issue. It is not the India of the medieval period but has enough power to counter external and internal threats.
She is a women who was intimidated to leave Pakistan. She has worked with paki army before as analyst. Don’t say anything. She makes sense all the time.
My personal view about Kartarpur is that this is to bolster Khalistan narative, soft image among Sikhs , strategy to contain India from launching any invasion from east Punjab as happened in 1965, earn money and cleaning their past.
You can form Khalistan in Pakistan because of most the Sikhs coming to India after partition. We Indians will help you to form Khalistan inside Pakistan.
With Lahore as its capital.
Let’s all work for it!
India will play realpolitik. Kartarpur corridor will be only a corridor, nothing more, nothing less. As far as Khalistan is concerned, Sikhs are amused at Pakistan interest. One thing Modi has done to Pakistanis, taught them a few lessons on Secularism which a so called secular Jinnah couldn’t do.
Why not gracefully accept a gesture that brings solace and joy to Sikhs all over the world. Achieved at a time when relations between the two countries were exceptionally fraught.
Pakistanis are born crooks and cheats and liars. The author is right and Shekhar Gupta is wrong.
Author’s key line:
Islamabad after Balakot is what it was at the end of the India-Pakistan 1965 war: able to highlight the gap between India’s power posture and capabilities.
Kartarpur model can be applied as a solution to the impossible Kashmir dispute??
Indeed, the entire Kartarpur episode has been choreographed from behind by the Big Boots. It perfectly ties in with Pakistan’s policy of needling India’s internal faultlines. However, this time around, given their domestic compulsions (IMF, FATF, Maulana, Nawaz Shariff, tomatoes etc), the offensive had to be sugar-coated enough not to seek world attention. And Khartarpur presented itself as a golden opportunity and the Big Boots grabbed it with both the hands. So, Pakistan would count their current score at Pak – 1, India – 0.
However, it would be too tough an ask at the moment for an economically broke Pakistan, with FATF lurking in the background, to revive a rag-tag bunch of Khalistani separatists to be of any real bother for India.
India is too strong now. Gone are the days of 1990s , the new security establishment does’nt care about bringing Pakistan to its knees and will punish it severely when needed. There is a common consensus among parties to open trade with Pakistan but India has to walk the tight rope here. Kartarpur has shown that if PAK military wants, its possible. The problem here is that does the establishment as a whole thinks like BAJWA or its BAJWA alone. This question has arose because of the recent protests from Maulana and Company. No political entity can take a step in Islamabad without PAK military’s blessings. I’ll say to this extent that Imran staying in the power will give immense relief to Indian policy makers. We exactly know who to deal with, and where the power center lies. BAJWA has 3 years after that what ? will this policy continue? Secondly, US will surely withdraw from Afghanistan by NOV 2020. What relevance will PAK have then? If the AFGH becomes stable and counters Taliban effectively the strategic location of Pakistan loses its relevance. PAK has to look at its options very closely in the year 2020 .

Khalistan will be free
