Pakistani military wants a civilian façade in the form of an ‘elected’ govt that follows military’s diktats on India, Afghanistan, Jihadi terrorism, China and US
The immediate benefit of Single Tax would be to reduce the sale prices of land to nominal ones. Landowners would no longer find it profitable to keep idle lands, wrote DM Kulkarni in 1960.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
If Pathaan gave both conservatives and liberals room to hide, Dhurandhar extends no such courtesy. Aditya Dhar ripped open that tent of hypocrisy and turned the knife.
This is not sensible reporting, India should grow up. There are two ways now to go one is bilateral trade and peace for our next generation .the other is war . Pm Modi should make it clear this time war or Peace ? We have promised our APS Children we will give them best pakistan ever. otherwise we were not ever weak for india . If we die u will die, if we live u will live simple as that ..
Just a courtesy phone call by Modi and Jyotis of the pseudo secular left aman kee asha brigade are going overboard and crazy. Modi must continue the current policy of having nothing to do with Pak until its military stops terrorism and keeps off Kashmir. Foreign and defence policy of Pakistan is managed by its military establishment and not by civilian government. If at all we are talking to anyone, we ought to talk to them first and then to the civilian government. Until this aspect is clearly understood, hopefully Modi does not again do a Lahore or Peshawar to be hit back by subsequent vicious terrorist attacks. After accepting this base position, Modi can do whatever else as a part of diplomatic nicety, political oneupmanship, scoring browny points with Congress etc.
The article is trying to decipher too much into the phone call, and casting aspersions on the intentions. Also, I have objections on ridiculing comment for PM ” To give Devil its due”. The author may not like PM but has no right to use a negative phrase like this. I hope Print editorial do a sanity check of this.
VP Naidu representing India at PM Imran Khan’s inauguration would be an auspicious start to what the columnist would call a Reset to Pakistan, although it is early days. Prime Minister attending the SAARC summit in Islamabad would even otherwise be the right thing to do. South Asia’s regional forum should not be held hostage to the vicissitudes of the India – Pakistan relationship. Recent common membership of the SCO shows the two countries can find occasions to work together, despite major issues remaining unresolved. 2. As the shadows lengthen over the first term, there is perhaps a growing realisation that opportunities have been missed, more could have been achieved. Much was made of the Pakistani High Commissioner meeting the Hurriyat, a long established ritual. Personally I don’t think we have gained anything by discontinuing the bilateral dialogue, always tentative and seldom productive. The effort to “ isolate “ Pakistan, including naming and shaming it in global fora, has run its course. It advertises to the world, as the column notes, that we cannot handle a neighbour the size of Uttar Pradesh. 3. Meaningful progress with Pakistan will take time. It could start from the Indian side after the general election. However, there is no need for two neighbours who have so much in common to be constantly in a state of undeclared war. With the elephant of Kashmir in the room, it is still possible to live more peaceably together.
