I REQUEST EVERYONE TO READ MY POST FULLY THANKS
India gave Pakistan MFN status in 1996 just 4-5 years after inviting the foreign investment in 91 or 92 then just last year i think India officially requested Pakistan to give India MFN n it was then accepted by Pakistan. Now Pakistan n its military had atlast learnt from their mistakes in the Past actually we were fools to have fought each other when our real enemy is someone else who had actually Divide our Union together, before them there was no hate no body used to think that way we used to b humble with each other n used to fight together against the invaders like Taimur, Babur n then British if u remember Mangal Pandey, Syed Ahmed Shaheed in 1830s, 1857 war 4 liberation of Hindustan, then in 1913 Tahreek-e-Reshmi Rumal.
Pakistan army has realized this, afterall it was she who used to b in the line of fire in Battlefields
thats what Foreign Minister of India said after the tour of our country n Mani Shankar Arya said in ''Capital Talk''. Its a political talk show and he was invited in the show in February in Islamabad (i suggest u all to watch that full show its in utube type there name of show along with his name) then your country now wants us to give the transit routes upto central Asia where all the resources r available n let me remind u that cheapest way of trade is through land. We can save our expanses to help 4 the prosperity of people of our countries more. So Pakistan is n was part of India's development plans 4 now and future. This is because and depends on the Goals of India as a country. Try to understand that what India wants from this first quarter of 21st century (i know u will b thinking i being a outsider telling u what yr country wants) but plz try to understand with a cool mind/ open mind that every country no matter who they r they learn through diplomatic sources that what is going on in a particular country. That is same way we learn n India learns about whats going on now a days in Pakistan, India wants to become a financial Hub in the World or atleast in Asia for the time being n for a long enough future, so now where Pakistan fits?
Its the location of Pakistan who fits in this plan. Pakistan is one of the few countries in the World which r situated in a very strategic important Location of region specially when we talk abt trade and its routes. Look at China they r getting full use of our location, now a days their whole western front depends on Pakistan for import/export. I was reading a post from a Chinese member that from Beijing/shanghai to western china the journey costs more n same goes 4 trade thats why u c the western China who doesnt share sea ports r much less developed and the containers with trade goods when they reach from shanghai to western states of China they become expensive bcoz then the transport expenses n taxes taken in the roads like from Toll Plazas plays a role in making Goods cost much higher for the local market n local dealers to purchase n sell in the profit to Public hence the area doesnt really grow like the rest of the country. Since 2007 their western states have become economic hub in CA specially in regional trade because Gwadar port was launched at Arabian Sea in southwestern Pakistan in 2007 n immediately China started to use most of it now those goods r costing much less then those which comes from Shanghai or Beijing n it gives a much needed boost to the pace of their economy bcoz Pakistan is not very big country in Land mass compared to the regional countries surrounding Pakistan so transport expenses n time interval r very less to reach in market n go back and now a days China's 90% trade happens through Pakistan their oil from GCC countries, their import/export happens through here with entire Africa, Western Europe, ME, South Asian Countries n some of the South East Asian Countries who dont share border with them and r in western side of the region.
Now as far as i know these r the same problems that india faces in northern states who dont have sea ports that could be one of the reason y they r not much developed eg like states surrounding Dehli. If we go in East the states like Nagalands, Assam n the disputed state b/w china n india now that could be same role that Bangladesh may play in that region for India to develop these states much cheaply n in rapid pace because main port lies in Kolkata in north east n they have to bye pass through entire western and Northern Bangladesh to reach there. The problem of having a big country with a big population is this that u struggle to keep every state running with the same pace of growth as the rest of the nation is growing. If we somehow dont do that, then those particular places dont grow economically well and living standards doesnt improve then people of those states some how feel ignored n underrated which leads the misunderstandings. Then a time comes they become terrorist or anti state elements because they fell betrayed(Same as in Baluchistan province of Pakistan). That is the reason why we see Red corridor in india and around 600 separatist movements in all over the country.If u take a look at that, most of them r from less or underdeveloped states. All of them like MOISTS, NEXELS, Kashmiri Freedom Fighters/Movement etc are from such states.
Now how abt western India, there Pakistan is most-most important Country to India not just western India but for entire Indian Nation then what Bangladesh in the East is for India n Pakistan is for China. Because Pakistan covers entire Land in the west of India and India as a whole wants to develop and for that it requires resources, a lot of them for their Big population n the resources like Gas, Gold, Oil which comes from ME n CARs n most those states dont share sea ports so then Pakistan comes in this Plan it can give u all the required routs upto CARs yr problem is to just pass through Pakistan then from there u can go anywhere, into Iran, Afghanistan, or from using Karakarom Highway to China n from there straight into CARs its yr choice what route u wanna follow/select. There is railway track from Pakistan-Iran-Turkey n then it leads to Eastern European States like Bulgaria,Albania,Serbia,Romania n once in Europe u can do trade with everyone in EU through this route, Pakistan n Turkey already use this route 4 trade with each other n Turkey through this trades with Far East (through Gwader n Karachi Sea Ports) n by Karakoram Highway with China. Yes india may have big ports which opens towards indian ocean but sea routes r expensive n it takes a long long time for ships to go n return, as compared to a simple Cargo train which is much less expensive. In addition Indian states which r less developed (generally) in the Northern Front can get boost through the region trade system like in east with Bangladesh, Western China with Pakistan n Iran. Yes abt the Developing Chahbahar port! but still from Chahbahar the Cargo will be carried by ships and from Dubai to Mumbai who is the main operational port in west right now, cargo ships take a week to complete a one way trip bcoz cargo ships with fully loaded take more time to reach just like trucks and trains. From Chahbahar it will take even longer to reach Mumbai and from there to say states like Punjab, Haryana, Kashmir, Southern India or in east. The same goods will take much time to reach and then the longer transport issues + Expenses. This will make prices of these imported items very high and the common man will not b able to purchase. So for the time being dealers will try to sell them anyways by a low or loss in the profit.This will result in the losses in economy of the state and then will influence the overall economic of the country if that state is economical Hub locally.
Now to avoid that region trades r very important the items from Gwader or Karachi Port can reach in Kashmir,Punjab,Rajastan n Gujarat state much quicker and in less expenses as well from there they can go into Haryana,Lucknow, Dehli, Kanpur, Agra n so on.... by this way common people of the countries will gain more and Pakistan will get transit fees and taxes through the toll plazas (if by Road) which will give a much needed boost to development of Pakistan.Through the same way Pakistan can trade with India, Bhutan Nepal, Southern China, Bangladesh, Myanmar n other far eastern countries that costs us more from sea n air its same way the EU do b/w their local countries.
India can also invest in Pakistan and Pakistan is also a market of alteast 180 million its the second biggest market after India in the region specially for those companies who r struggling in india as it already has economic giants locally they can invest in Pakistan n make profits easily as there is not much competition b/w companies and for those who r already economic Giant companies they can also expand their business in here also.
Thats how things work give and take. Ours case is particular because we share a common history in which we both equally can be proud off n more then that, we r neighbours n we will b like that forever.We r basically connected naturally to one n other as the time is passing our connectivity is becoming vital for regional development.
Now if that to happen, just ending of hostilities wont do the job because the common people will always hold grudges against each other in their hearts n they will feel that our country is being invaded economically by india, So that is why we in Pakistan need something to tell to our people as well and that i see will come in guaranty of the prosperity of people in Kashmir valley as its not an issue for a piece of land anymore, and other Muslims in rest of India. Actually as the time is progressing people in general r getting sick n tired of hating each other which leads to terrorism in our country as times have changed World has became a Global Village now its the time of internet, education same way the new generations of Kashmir have changed as they have started to go into schools n universities. Pakistan is not anymore their priority. Lets not judge by the people of both sides in this forum they dont fully represent their entire Nations n most of them either from Pakistan or India join this for different reasons.Things in atleast Pakistan have started to change overall those who r fighting they r basically fighting against Pakistan itself (because we have given Nato the transit routes n allowed them to do Drones) and some r fighting western powers in Afghanistan.All that is for the time being as long as Western Powers r here in the region, once they r gone the development in the tribal regions, like Schools, Hospitals n infrastructure is enough to guaranty their positive future. Its same way what India is doing in Afghanistan investing in Education, Infrastructure and in economy.
We must have to come in the friendly relations once 4 all for regional trade to really happen. There is a common saying that there is no shortcut of success. The success comes from its proper way now its upto us that how much we want to follow that.
