Indian PM Manmohan Singh accepts invitation to visit Pakistan, says Fahim

[nForce]

My point was it has become necessary for Indian PM to resolve issues with Pakistan. Yes Atalji was very strong in whole Kargil episode. But then again he invited mushy the man behind Kargil for talks. So We couldn't say tht Atalji was spineless. MMS initiating peace process and that good.

Even after Parliament attack, Kandahar plane hijack NDA government didn't do anything concrete. Its just that the PM can see things which ordinary people couldn't.

It is not necessary for us to become friendly with Pakistan.It is not like we are set to gain much out of it.There is a great deal of anti-Indian sentiment in Pakistan.With that kind of sentiment I don't think our goods will find much market there.
The border violations are at an all time low,the insurgency problem is almost dead too,thanks to the fencing efforts.Pakistan is now entangled in its own web and busy with the home-grown problems.Let them deal with it as of now.We have nothing to gain here.
See,friendly relations with Pakistan means you have to compromise at some points,for the sake of some gain.I perceive that the compromise will far outweigh the gains.Hence,it is a decision we can put on hold.We can always take up the issue when the time is right.

This is a good move...peace process is definitely good, though I personally do not like the congress or MMS. This process was initiated by Vajpayee in the past & was unfortunately derailed then. We hope better sense prevails this time & it is carried out smoothly. I'm sure if the next Prime Minister is from the NDA, then they would carry on this process in a better fashion.

Can you enlighten us why NDA and not MMS carry on the peace procedure in better manner?

Disagree you on here. Only on economical front we will gain so much. Bollywood is so popular there. Indian soaps are also popular. So the statement of anti indian centiment is not valid as per my opinion. If you are good you will have great potential market in Pakistan.

Firstly,regarding the difference between MMS and NDA government,I will rate the NDA government higher.They continued the trend of globalization inititated by the previous PM,late Narshimha Rao.They went ahead with it quite aggressively,inflation rates were under control,almost close to that of developed nations.The poverty also came down.Matters of national security were also dealt with properly.I still remember the eyeball-to-eyeball confrontation with Pakistan when India deployed most of its army in Pakistan border following the Parliament attacks.
MMS has been a little disappointment so far.Inflation is going sky-high,poverty has increased by 10 percentage points straight,and the government is behaving too meekly on the table for dialogues-surrendering to Pakistan,separating the issue of terrorism from peace dialogues while India clearly had the upper hand.It was one of the stupidest things to do.
So,yes,I rate NDA over MMS.

Secondly,we come to the issue of profit & loss.We have a market for bollywood movies because there is a demand for good movies in Pakistan in a language that they can understand.Cannot say the same about grains or textiles or steel,FMCG,or mobile phones,may be a little in the automobile sector.But thats about it.
It will bring us more loss than profit,as the price of cotton,sugar etc. are significantly lower in Pakistan than in India.
Besides,there will be a general apathy towards Indian goods,when they will bear the tag,'Made in India'.The same cannot be said about,'Made in China'.
These problems can all be taken care of though.But then why to go for all that trouble while we have other markets easier to operate?

You should hate Manmohan Singh so much..how about you people take Gilani and we will take Mr Singh happily.

After parliament attack huge deployment of force on border didn't serve it's purpose. It's just strengthen the belief tht India never attack Pakistan due to fear of nuke war.As per the economy it's MMS and Narsimha Rao are the pioneer of India's economic boom. Same BJP opposed MMS policies then but when they came into power they just continued the policies in positive global atmosphere. Unfortunately in UPA-2 recession hit economies all over the world. Even current scenario is not good for economy. So we just can't blame MMS for current economic crisis (If there any).In my opinion in Parliament attack, Kandahar plane hijack, Akshardham attack, Gujrat riots NDA was behaving like toothless tiger. I am not congress supporter but i am not fan of BJP either in that regard.

MMS is peace loving man...But i think he is trying to be extra friendly with pakistan...Although i also want good relation with pakistan but MMS is running too fast!! forgot 26/11 ?? what happened to the culprits seating there!! Nothing!! where is his commitment??

huh!

I don't like this move from MMS. may be from his point of view there is no other choice for him either. But Pakistan is our North Korea. We should abundom them. I think this going to be done to lure Muslim votes for congress.

any ways Best of Luck Pakistan and MMS. hope He able to come alive from there. We are not expecting anything Positive from pakistan.

Whats the connection between Muslim votes and MMS visit to Pakistan?

 

[Kyusuibu Honbu]

You're a little misinformed. Indian Muslim population is approximately 112,000,000 according to 2001 census data.

Indian Muslim Population Data

According to wikileaks the there about 180-200 million Indian Muslims

Unless we have Musharraf on the other end , i don't expect any break through in ties

If true, then India is a bigger representative of Muslims in the world than Pakistan .. Innit??
