UNITED INDIA DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC

Bikash Choudhury


Apropos 'Letting Pakistan of the hook'Pioneer 17th Feb.While I entirely agree with Sri G. Parthasarathy on not diluting Indian stand on Siachin & action against 26/11 mastermind; but, don't see any reason to fault the impetus shown by our foreign office in resuming constructive and creative dialogue with Pakistan on all issues starting from softer to complex items in the agenda which is already very long due to complex interplay of geopolitics and competing interest of global forces.Can we afford to remain hostage to 26/11 in view of ever changing geopolitics of the region? There is no easy solution to vexed India-Pakistan relations and without constructive and continuous talks by either side how can we at least normalize the relationship with our nuclear armed neighbor. Actually, India should continue to pursue Pakistan in sovereign national interest. I am sure Pakistani army & polity would get tired of their own hard line positions soon and join India for mutual benefit of their respective economy and people. May be, after another six decades United Indian Democratic Republic would be a reality.God willing there will be one Army, one currency and one foreign policy.
