Unless Indians engage the military & ISI establishment directly or make them a part of any dialogue mechanism it will not work. A good example of such engagement can be understood from the composition of Pakistani& American delegation in thr recently concluded US-Pak strategic dialogue. If any thing that can be understood out of that engagement is that Pakistani Military plays a very essential role in not just the fight in Afghanistan, but in policy making. The so called 'democratic' setup in Pakistan is very different than in Indian. Engaging Politico-Bureaucratic set up is a good eye wash, but Indians have to realize when it comes to india or Afghanistan, it the Pakistani military thats calls the shots. Also, Pakistani military acts much independently of the Pakistan govt. (Unlike china) So I would not get my hopes high.Good Luck!Icarus Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13462246444790732410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-6548853978989365322010-06-22T09:50:25.245-07:002010-06-22T09:50:25.245-07:00Oh i forgot to wel-come our Pakistani brothers.

I dont know why everyone here wants to make an impression on us that Pakistan is something hard nut to crack, GOD knows. <br /><br />It is beyond me.<br /><br />Any ways, it took 166 life in 26-11to kick Shivraj Patil out, probably it ll take another 100 odd lifes to kick Chairman MoaMohan out.ambihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09709973254351931979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-26815702551248605952010-06-22T01:44:54.526-07:002010-06-22T01:44:54.526-07:00http://www.indianexpress.com/news/indian-mps-asks-...http://www.indianexpress.com/news/indian-mps-asks-us-not-to-withdraw-from-afghanistan/637034/2<br /><br />Read this article. Look at the Indian MPs scrambling shamelessly to get a photo op with Hilarious Hillaaarrrry. And we are literally begging the US to stay in Afghanistan so that the terrorists do not attack us!!! <br /><br />HOW SHAMEFUL!! <br /><br />Today Chhatrapati Shivaji, Guru Gobind Shingh, Maharana Pratap, Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, Rani of Jhansi etc etc..... must be hanging their head in shame. <br /><br />A brave girl who identified Ajmal Kasab in court was denied admission to a school citing security concerns!!! Instead of being awarded the civilian bravery award, she is being victimized! Why will the citizens want to fight or die for their country now? People fight for their country in the hope that they can find a place in the history books, for GLORY! Sadly that is all missing in this din to 'talk' to Pakistan. What Nonsense!<br /><br />No wonder Nepal, Bhutan, maldives, bangladesh, Sri Lanka and many other minuscle countries have no respect for us. And we wonder why China-Pak nuke deal will go through inspite of us protesting!<br /><br />Believe me, once the china pak nuke deal goes through (and it will!!) PM Manmohan Singh will be the first Head of State to welcome it saying it bodes well for the energy security and general upliftment of the region and it propogates clean environment!!!<br /><br />Taliban are already infiltrating Karachi. They are massacring India-friendly Mohajirs and establishing their writ on India's doorstep. Is anyone from our Government concerned? Noooo! And we keep talking to Pakistan.Wikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161119866067734752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-48483403898802460692010-06-22T01:29:49.369-07:002010-06-22T01:29:49.369-07:00Raman Sir,
I am sure you know better than me, but...Raman Sir,<br /><br />I am sure you know better than me, but as a common citizen, it is shocking to see even you putting faith in this charade of talks with Pakistan. These talks are not even worth one paisa.<br /><br />The government said it will never begin the talking until India's core interests are met. Then It said that we will begin talking but we will never restart the composite dialog until India's core interests are met. And now it says that we will discuss all issues but we will not call it composite dialog!!!! <br /><br />Who is the government trying to fool!!??? Why are we giving away soooo much without anything in return? Are we really so militarily, diplomatically and financially broke/weakened that we cannot demand a shread of respect? <br /><br />WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GROW A SPINE?? <br /><br />If that is the case, why don't we just give up Kasmir, NorthEast and everything else on a platter to our evil neighbours? Atleast PM Manmohan Singh will get the Nobel Peace prize!!! <br /><br />As a common citizen it is very frustrating to see the government diluting its stand and betraying the faith of the people. And the PM does not even have the courtesy or the courage to explain to the citizens what he is really doing!!<br /><br />Somehow, it feels not worth reading strategic news any more.Wikihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11161119866067734752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-48908416357616788872010-06-22T00:29:01.900-07:002010-06-22T00:29:01.900-07:00Spoken like a true congressi.

A flexible stand to allow compromises in return for normalcy.<br /><br />It is sensible to argue with a person who changes his stand on every drop of the hat?<br /><br />Our refusal to engage with the pakistani's is a punishment we gave them for their continuous propping up of the india-centric militant elements.<br /><br />The pakistani's want to be the bad seed then they have the liberty to be so. All actions have consequences. India needs to stop protecting this child. It will have to put an end to the misery someday because i do not see any hope. 60+ years of optimism. 3 wars and numerous squabbles.Nynolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909443674608239857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4704148890264843595.post-17081257451429353552010-06-21T20:46:41.104-07:002010-06-21T20:46:41.104-07:00Thanks for well written critique Ramanji.

I hope somebody somewhere in Government has the commonsense to heed your advice--------------------<br /><br />But how can you trust an enemy which repeatedly breaks it promises knowing that Indian State is too weak due to its internal contradictions to take appropriate and decisive action!<br /><br />Warm Regards<br /><br />Ram<br /><br />Warm Regardsnri2008https://www.blogger.com/profile/08367155383068279886noreply@blogger.com
