Absence of dialogue is hurting India - OpEd - The Hindu

Gazzi, do you deny the ISI has the ability to do everything I claimed?

I believe it is a crazy notion that talking to someone, particularly your enemies, is a concession. This kind of distorted thinking is the result of the Bush era failed policy of "punishing" your enemies by refusing a dialog. US President George W. Bush is gone, but it appears that the Indian policy of not engaging with Pakistan is guided by with the irrational thinking learned from him.

If the Americans and the Soviets could talk when they had thousands of nuclear warheads pointing at each other during the cold war, surely India and Pakistan can, too.

It must be remembered that the population centers in India and Pakistan are so close geographically (unlike population centers in US and Russia) that any serious miscalculation can lead to a deadly nuclear war with little or no warning, a potential accident whose chances can be minimized by regular communication and discussions between India and Pakistan.

Unfortunately, excuses are dime a dozen, if India wants to pursue its misguided policy of prolonged disengagement. The costs of such a policy could potentially be much much greater than the terrorist incidents that affect Pakistan more than India.

The biggest cost of the policy of confrontation backed up by a massive military buildup by India is already being paid by the most vulnerable Indians whose numbers exceed the poor, hungry and illiterate people anywhere else in the world.

Haq's Musings: Case For Resuming India-Pakistan Talks

I am sure you will not disagree that your govt is incapable,
Almost everyone in pakistan is not sure what and why are there. So India's intelligence and Army stand is to talk to the people who really matter. people who are behind leading the Operation again the Jihadist. I mean ISI and Army.
And that i know is going on this week , Hamid Mir has said that in Indian media on (Times now) yesterday.
Chidambram will talk to put the rubber stamp on those out of court kind of settlements. Same will be expected from Zardari.
Apart from some dinners and drinks.

You and me will never know what has been discussed and agreed on between the defense and intelligence groups of both countries, this will be away from Media. What will be in media will be Zardari's smile and Chidambram's hand shakes.

Or maybe some Jappi's lol

The ISI like many organisations, including RAW, CIA, KGB, MOSSAD have the capabilities of conducting near enough anything on many scales, that doesn;t answer your point and allegation made here by You.

 

[Solomon2]

And Gazzi, do you believe the ISI can be held fully accountable for its actions by Pakistan's elected leadership?
