India talking peace to Pakistan after few months of each brutal attack on Indian soil may be, in hindsight very sad humor on Indian foreign policy but practically India does not have many options in conventional sense; to minimize the loss against a rogue state that pursue terror as state policy to receive international aid from western countries to feed the passion of their Army for weapons. However, esteemed columnist fallen to the same trap of stereotype of Indian journo without offering anything fresh in terms of new idea to be examined by the govt. regarding Pakistan.
In my opinion govt. must continue to engage Pakistan without being hostage to terror strike and keeping the nation’s expectation of a break through at low in short term. Pakistan has completely surrendered its national interest to the wishes of western powers due to internally bickering for supremacy. India has to be patient and work for long term objective of bringing peace to its western borders by convincing amorphous Pakistani ruling class of great mistake of partition in1947; Pakistan can choose between; being a prosperous regional power as an equal partner with common economic and foreign policy with India as a sovereign nation or being a follower of western powers as a third world country with a begging bowl and compromising the freedom of a sovereign country. India must engage top fifty people in each section of Pakistan ruling class continuously behind the media glare on a long term basis to achieve stable and long term peace with a conducive eco-system for a flourishing economy and culture in the subcontinent.
