India, the world’s most populous country, is a major economic and political power in South Asia. Known for its vast linguistic, cultural, and geographic diversity, India has a rich history that spans thousands of years, with deep-rooted traditions in philosophy, science, art, and religion. Its large population and vast history mark its economic and cultural importance.
While India’s civilization can be traced to the Harrapan era, that is, 1400 BCE, its modern political boundaries were established in 1947 when it gained independence from British rule. It is now a federal parliamentary democracy with 28 states and 8 union territories, with New Delhi as its capital. India has a democratic system with a multiparty political landscape, with the Indian National Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party being the two dominant national parties.
As one of the fastest-growing major economies, India is a global hub for technology, manufacturing, and services, while also being an agrarian powerhouse. It is a nuclear-armed state and plays a key role in regional and global geopolitics, maintaining strategic partnerships with various nations.
India is one of the most ethnically and religiously diverse countries in the world, home to multiple religions, sects, castes, and tribes. It has more than ten-thousand languages and hundreds of regional dialects, with Hindi and English serving as the two of the 22 official languages. Despite economic progress, India faces challenges such as poverty, unemployment, and environmental concerns, alongside managing its complex social fabric and regional disparities.
Don’t waste our valuable time on farcical talks. We have many other priorities to attend to…
Leave us alone till we close the POK issue. Then, we might have something to talk. But not sure. Thx & Bye.
Terror and talks will not be done, atleast by the present Indian government, and as long as Pakistani military is the mai baap of Pakistan there is no hope of peace,for they gain their legitimacy to rule by showing the Indian bogey,and make money buy Canadian,US , British, Australian passport for self and children and PapaJones franchises and plazas etc,Just see where the last four COAS of Pakistani army are at present you will know the commitment of these Jarnails towards Pakistan,So please this Chooran of talks is not going to work anymore
India should talk about the minority rights and how Hindus and Sikhs are being mistreated in Pakistan.
How Baloch are still fighting for their rights And Gilgit and Baltistan needs independence from illegal Pak occupation.
Is Pak coming to talk about these things?
A total piece of crap. Ignoring the blunders of previous governments and putting the blame on current government which is not even 3 years old. Biasness towards Na Ahel Shareef is clearly visible and grudge towards IK is shining out of this article. Also how could you forget indulging Pak Army in any bullshit you would want to be published. A cheap way of gaining publicity. Nothing else.
Ms. Inayat’s thoughts regarding Pakistan’s sudden change of heart regarding bilateral talks is certainly worth a read. Mr. Imran Khan seems to be softening his stand as the reality manages to percolate through that India is in no hurry to talk, neither is it willing to talk. OIC’s snub to Pakistan on the Kashmir issue has made them see the world for what it truly is. Mr. Khan’s grand dream of being the leader of the Ummah, along with his big brother Mr. Erdogan, is lying in tatters.
Another good piece from Naila, laced with her signature sense of humour and sarcasm.
I seriously do not understand why India should talk to Pakistan. They undermine India’s interests at every turn. They promote Terrorism in India. They are a terror nation. Why would India want to engage with them?
I thought our journalism is petty. But you guys on whole next level of pettiness.
Oh wait she is from Pakistan.
Not just journalism, everything in your country is junk, it’s just the reflection of the quality of education in your country. The very fact that a piece from a writer like Naila does not find space in pakistani newspapers tells a lot about mental standards of pakistanis.
India will certainly talk, but the agenda this time will include pok, Baluchistan and human rights violation there, Sindhu desh, and Gilgit Balistan and the standing item of terrorism emanating from the rogue state Islamic Republic of Pakistan

This talk is nothing but yet another trick by Imran Khan for his domestic audience, I don’t know but may be his election due in few years times or may be his opposition party getting strong so he is trying to find something which make him more strong and relevant. It is nothing but an stupid old idea about talk, what one talk instead Mr. Khan should do good for the region by working towards welfare instead of religious fanaticism and rhetoric then problem itself will be solved.
Modi shouldn’t waste time on Pak issue rather he should be keep more focus on economic progress and development, and look more towards working with QUAD and EU countries. Let a someone in MEA to handle Pak.
ThePrint is becoming modified version of TheWire. People are not fool anymore. Grow up. 🙂
India and Pakistan may not be psychologically bound, but are goegraphically bound. Later, if not soon, the talk has to start. One cannot wishaway a neighbour. But, how does one talk to someone who sends in a gang of terrorists immediately after a friendly gesture, to blow up an airforce station, or blow up a convoy? Pakistan cannot run with the hare and hunt with the hound. India is too big to be intimidated by the Pakistanis in Khaki.
