I am surprised by the gigantic urgency that our PM has for peace with Pakistan. Is that a genuine one or is it just another attempt to gain minority votes. Pakistan may be shifting ( I repeat may be since one should not underestimate Mush and the Bush that swears by him ) from one politcal leadership to another ! Zardari has made the right noises about his vision for a relationship with India keeping the Kashmir Issue in the back-burner. But it too early for the MM Singh to jump out of the Bathtub crying 'eureka'. Let and us wait and watch . Analyze our foreign policyand you will see that it has helped us to beocme the most hated country in the region . Every one ,right from the tiny Sri Lanka to the mighty China, has a relationship that at best can be called 'strained'. We either dont have a foreign policy or we have one that is faulty. China with its aggressieve posturing still remains more repected in the region than this docile country . Revisit our foreign policy tenets and correct that which must be. Dont waste time making gestures to an 'unborn new political dispensation' . Dr Singh it may be a counter productive ! If some body tells Manmohanji that 'taalia ek nehi, do haath se bajti hain', the poor sadarji may start clapping by himself . Somebody will have to qualify the 'do haath' also to him.
