Talk for the sake of Talking!

Being Indian I bet you can not explain what compelled Indian Government to initiate composite dialogue with Pakistan. After all we are living in peace and doing quite well on all the frontier without war ravaged Pakistan. Why does one have to talk to a neighbor who is trying his best to bomb your house everyday? And most importantly why our esteemed prime minister is in such a hurry to initiate some sort of dialogue with Pakistan which he himself know is meaningless as Pakistan always is in whom to talk and what to talk situation? And what is the use of such a talk which depends on one terrorist attack from across the border and that was so openly being planned under the gaze of Pakistani authorities by JUD militants in POK while Indian government was trying to be Mr. Nice yesterday?

Going against my believe i believe that it is a talk to expect nothing. And that is the main point. And if it is so then it was a good diplomatic move by Indian government. It is mainly Afghanistan which is making Indian government to come with this move. What Pakistan is trying to project that because all his troops are busy guarding eastern frontier connecting with India, it can not deploy more troops in western frontier which is Taliban inflicted. Now entire world is asking India to initiate some sort of peace talks with Pakistan so that its army can be moved to the right places. Therefore i think India had to give in and start the dialogue process just for the sake of it.

Secondly, It is Indian businessmen who have been pressurizing government to start some kind of peace talks with Pakistan so that they can again start selling their products over their. Filmmakers can sell their films and music, Media can distribute channels, IT can sell software etc. And there is nothing wrong in it. But make sure you do not start giving free visas to terrorists. Terrorists have always been taking advantage of good trade relations. This gives them perfect opportunity to cross border and create havoc. And that makes me thinking seriously. Start business but at the same time be very careful. And if you think so much of vigilance can not be afforded, then lose trade. In fact, with no trade with Pakistan India has been most peaceful and secure in one and half years. Therefore, government has got no right to play with the life of innocent just for the sake of some filthy gains of business community. Although governments in India always obnoxiously do this.

Thirdly and may some good sense prevail with Sardar that this all drama of talks is to get some ground in Afghanistan. It will be quite useful for India to befriend Afghanistan. By doing that it can gherao Pakistan from western border as well. Now a days Pakistan is busy doing some peace talks with Taliban. Pakistan is trying to convince Americans to get Taliban back into the power. This is going to be the worse situation for India. Indian has not forgotten Air India abduction episode. That’s why while India has agreed to talk to Pakistan it would like Americans to carry on their operations there and give India more room to strengthen its ties with Afghanistan.

A gentle disclaimer before I finish. Above all I have hoped against hope. I believe in Sardar and think he would not do anything without a good reason behind it. And if none of the above is a reason for talk then it is just foolish as always from the part of Mr. Krishna who always seek attentions for all the wrong reasons. I can just hope as i used to do when Shivraj Patil was home minister that at least for once he will be wise.
