The words of Yakoot Mir (probably from Pakistan) do carry some sensibliity. "Pak vanishing on its own" is a wishful thinking (we Indians are adept at such dreams, having returned from Lahore in 1971 empty -handed though!!!). The fact is that Pak will always be supported by some countries to counter-act India, namely USA or even China. Pak's problems are grave, but India has its own problems, and one of them is the persisitence of Hindu-Muslim divide in our country ( I donot see any solution to that) and our inability to implement a really secular polity. We have to consolidate our democracy by weeding out pseudo-secular practices. Secondly we need to have a peaceful and stable Pakistan, howsoever impractical and bitter it may look! India cannot become a real super-power with unstable and increasingly intolerant Pakistan and Bangladesh! Now what can we do in this regard: answers are not easy, but engaging them through political talks and negotiations may offer some solution. Though I am under no illusions that differences are there,and issues like terrorism and Jehad look irremedial yet there is no point in continue to sustain the hatred among Indian "Hindus" and Pakistani "Muslims" as it will not be beneficial for neither in a long-term.
