No one is an authority here. This is a forum for people to debate things. So sad that you wish to propagate your hate agenda everywhere! It is beneath me to respond to anything you say.

A very nice article! I also feel that wars on water and food will be fought sooner than we might think!
How can the human rights in India and China be ever equated? It is laughable! China would kill its citizens if they so much as whisper against their government.
We all want peace. We want to discuss peace. WE just want to make sure that simultaneous talks and promotion of terrorism do not happen in the same breath. I think that is a fair demand. But we NEED to talk. That is the only way to defuse tensions.
Changez is right about the radical Hindu parties. I would like to add the "pseudo-secular" parties to that list too who pander to only some communities and pit people against each other. I am hopeful about the new breed of politicians and the new breed of educated and informed people in India. We are questioning our government and their moves and are less likely to fall for mindless propaganda.
Fauzia, I agree in spirit to what you say. But things can move forward only if you also realize that your government supports terrorism in our country and that it needs to completely cut that out. Who are these insurgents - the same people recruited, trained and funded by Pakistani establishment to fight their proxy war. We also want demilitarization but not at the cost of terrorists sneaking in and creating havoc. We have a Mr. Kasab singing in India about details of how a sickly operation was planned on your soil. Pakistan is also taking steps. Let those be categorical and more forceful. Events cannot be wished away just like that!
I have my doubts about the use-and-throw policy of US. It meddled in Afghanistan way back to score points with the Soviets. It allowed the mujahideen and the Taliban to grow for its selfish gain and allowed them to get armed and then turned on them when 9/11 happened. It has been in a way responsible for the mess created by Taliban in Pakistan too. So, let us not leave the big picture out. Besides, we each have to fight for our own problems. It was easy for US to say show restraint when Mumbai happened but when 9/11 happened it mindlessly attacked Iraq and Afghanistan and look at the mess it created in both countries. So let's not be holier than thou.
As far as Kashmir is concerned, it is easy for you to say - give autonomy. Jammu and Kashmir already have a special status in the Indian Constitution. There can be concessions made by both India and Pakistan if they sit across the board and talk, if they trust each other and if they feel that each other can be trusted.
Mumbai incident was not propaganda and not a figment of our imagination and it had nothing to do with Kashmir. Attacking and killing innocent people of any country is just not acceptable. I think this will the biggest CBM on the part of Pakistan.
Agreed Kashmir is an issue which needs to be talked about. But, Kashmir cannot be made a point to be waved everytime any issue is raised with Pakistan.
When Pakistani territory is used by people for activities against India like in the case of Mumbai, don't you feel we are justified in feeling angry. And then no action is taken. If it was US would your approach have been the same for Mumbai culprits? People to people there are no issues. We even encourage the talent on your side for our show business. But no reciprocation for our artists. Also issues like Dawood and Kandahar hijack mastermind driving off to Pakistan rattle.
After Mumbai what has happened for lost trust to be regained or bridges to be mended? Can you see the hurt here.
We have a Pakistani national caught during the Mumbai carnage and we did feel that the recent developments of withdrawing cases in Pakistan due to "lack of evidence" leaves a sour note. We have a long history of distrust between the two countries which is not going to vanish so easily. I agree talking is the only way forward 'coz we have to learn to coexist as neighbors and exchange of views help. But somehow the feeling is that Pakistan government is not as serious in its actions as it is in its talks.
With terror becoming a very real problem for India now, the government is under pressure from its people too. Maybe, the current Pakistani government is trying hard but it is just difficult to put everything aside when there is so much lack of trust.
But, I believe we have to evolve religions also according to the times we live in.
