Late Saurav Kalia would remain the
martyr of India who sacrificed his present and the life for the future of not
only India; but, for a United India that would include, ‘insa-alah’
Pakistan and Bangladesh; if not Physically; may be, Politically, Economically
and Culturally. What is most important for India
now is to calculate accurately, if the predominant mindset and attitude of Pakistan
vis-à-vis our relationship, economy and the broad strategy for the future of
our region has “changed” or not. If yes, then let us not wait for any thing
else and move ahead; not in ‘feet’s and starts’ and not incrementally
also; but, very substantially. Millions of Indian youngsters today would like
to fill the vacuums in the life of Kalia’s parents including this author; but,
can we held this against a progress in the relationship between two Nations;
which has gone through many tragic iteration? The cumulative signals that we
receive today from across the border are a sign of slow change of mindset of
people & its democratic Govt. in Pakistan .
And, its Army & Judiciary have also behaved with maturity and they also see
the writing on the wall. And, the wall reads “the progress and welfare of
Pakistani people can only be seen in company with India ;
the natural ally”. Therefore, Indian Prime Minister must visit Pakistan
and may be celebrate the ‘New Year Eve’ in the company of his counterpart in Pakistan .
But, ideally, he should not go alone; rather, he should take the Chief
Ministers of North, South, East and West of Indian states. No doubt, in the
company of Omar Abdullah, Selvi Jayalalita, Naveen Patnaik and the last but not
the least Narendra Bhai Modi, India and its PM would make a very bold and
audacious statement without moving a finger(Just like, Anwar Sadat did with
Israel taking huge risk to his position and life). This author obviously
believe in Nation is much bigger than the Ideology and the Party; one would
normally wish our premier also subscribe to such values. The other thing that
Singh Sahab has promised the Nation about ‘unleashing the animal spirit of the
economy’ and seen increasingly gaining confidence to administer the ‘bitter
pill’ where ever needed should ideally be the ‘cocktail’ that all Indians raise
a toast in the evening; irrespective of Ideological predilection and Party
affiliations because the alternative we can ill afford. And, the alternative
would have been to hold on to the ‘status quo’ pending the perception of
victory or defeat in the general election 18 months from now. That would have
been in my opinion to hold the Nation and its billion plus people to ransom for
political polemics. Mr. PM it is “here and now”, or never. Go ahead and don’t
look back before hanging up your boots. A grateful Nation would raise a toast
and recite a Ghalib’s ‘sere’ on your honour.
