Stable Pakistan (Mentally as well) is in our national interest...

People who talk about accelerating the dis-integration of Pakistan are either naive or dumb. They lack the forsight to see the implications of having a failed state next door.

A democratic and financially stable Pakistan is in the long term national interest of India.

People seem to sugget that war and military is the solution to solving these problems. I dare to challenge that notion.

I say TRADE is the best tool to solve these problems.

Trades creates an environment for dialogue, exchange of ideas, interaction between the population. No two countries will fight each other if they are involved in trade.

It is important that the cool heads prevail as oppose to the hate mongering on either sides.

Ghanta correct! Well, theoretically it may be correct. But from a strategic perspective, the heads behind the scene in Pakistan have only one motive... to cause unstability in Hindustan. Thats what they have done in the past to appease the masses. History has proven this! So, economic stability for Pakistan is an indication of a production house of bombs to be used in India and elsewhere in the world. Don't live in fantasy land. Well, the thought you have is a noble one, Imran, but too bad its not how it is!
