Why to talk with Pakistan?

The question is "Why to talk with Pakistan?"

By inviting Pakistan Primer in Modi government oath taking ceremony, the new Indian government showed her willingness for peace in Indian subcontinent region. Nawas Sharif too came & showed mutual agreement for holding peaceful atmosphere. In this back drop, Secretary level talks were proposed on 25th August.

But as soon as talks were proposed and accepted, cross boarder firing too escalated. Pak Ambassador too started meeting J&K separatist leaders against agreed "Shimla Accord & Lahore Declaration “ & against Indian government advice, leaving India no option other than cancelling talks.

However, before leaving for Japan, PM Modi said India still desired peaceful, friendly and cooperative relations with Pakistan. He said “India has no hesitation to discuss any outstanding issue with Pakistan within the bilateral framework that has been established under the Shimla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration. We, therefore, were disappointed that Pakistan sought to make a spectacle of these efforts and went ahead with talks with secessionist elements from Jammu and Kashmir in New Delhi just prior to the meeting of the foreign secretaries,“

Now the question is why India should always bend forward to talk with Pakistan? What India will gain by holding such talks? Can Pakistan be forced not to mingle in India’s internal matters by just holding talks? Will Pakistan ever have a real democratic civilian government who will think about its civilians only? Why Pakistan is willing to help Kashmir’s separatist when his own country is burning? There are many more questions which need answers?

The author’s view is that we should not initiate any talks on our own. If Pakistan is willing then it should first stop helping Kashmir separatist groups & also spot cross boarder hostilities because Pakistan never claimed that Kashmir is their part while Kashmir merged with India under agreement. I don’t say that India should not hold talks with Kashmiri Awam. After all Kashmir is part-n-parcel of Indian union. We will have to solve its all problems on humanitarian ground under our constitution. They are as much as our brothers & sisters as rest part of India. Pakistan has neither any role in it nor has financial/social power to heal wounds infected.

These cosmetic talks will solve no purpose. Lets us stop talking till atmosphere is reap enough to hold such talks. Don't get under pressure from any group even if Modi Government is called hardliner by India's secular forces. Think, meditate & ponder "Why to talk with Pakistan?" and only then act.
