India should refrain from dealing with israel. A counrty which is illegaly occupying and involved in genocide. Also India should take into consideration of its sizeable muslim population and the islamic world.

Naqvi, using your argument, India should refrain from dealing with China; she occupies a million square miles of ours in NEFA; Pakistan that occupies our state of Kashmir; Russians who occupy Chechnya; Turkey, occupies Kurdistan, Iran, occupies Kurdistan, Saudi Arabia, occupies parts of Yemen, Americans, Canadians and Australians who occupy lands of their First Nations, the list is just endless. As for the sentiments of millions of Muslims in India, what about the sentiments of 900 million Hindus. We Hindus want Israel as our friend. Naqvi, Jinnah created Pakistan exactly for guys like you with such sentiments. If you don%u2019t like it here, hey, move on to Dharti Soni Pakistan where they pursue polices appealing to your sentiments. India's foreign policy is based on our national interest and not designed to appeal to the religious sentiments of the Islamic world.

Its not just occupation but daily human right violation which is counted. India should take into consideration of muslim sentiments too. Also many indians are working and doing flourishing business in gulf and we get some prvilige from gulf countries all these should be taken into consideration.

"Illegal Occupation of Israel"... What about the "Occupation of Kashmir" and POK...? What about the Pandits who were driven out from Kashmir still living in tents...? All these are acceptable and lawful in "islamic" world...LOL... You cry when someone nabs your place. When you do the same, you reverse the law. Forgot the newton's third law of motion...?

Naqvi, what about the daily human rights violation in Iran, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Egypt, Pakistan and other Muslim countries? Should we take that also into consideration in defining our relationships with these nations just as we should do with Israel (as per your train of thinking)? Did Muslim countries respect the Hindu or Indian sentiments every time they voted with Pakistan on Kashmir? If we benefit from working in the Gulf, the local Arabs benefit from our knowledge base, experience, hard work and total dedication to the successes of the local Arabs businesses. We are there not by their mercy but because we are some of the very best on the block. If it was otherwise, the Arabs (they are smart business men), would have already replaced us. So what consideration are we then talking about? Naqvi, understand this - India's interest are not necessarily married to Muslim interests. Our interests are the interests on 1.2 billion that includes also 1 billion Hindus. Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists and Sikhs and none of them seem to have a problem with our relationship. Since we are a democracy where the majority rules, should the majority sentiments be not respected? I hope you understand we are not a Muslim nation or one of those banana republics that is at the mercy of Muslim nations. We are free and proud Indians who have taken our destiny into our own hands.

Mr. Naqvi
Every country acts for it's national interest. Even Saudi Arabia and Kuwait have often banned issue of visas to Pakistani & Bangladeshi nationals as the people from these countries were involved in drug trafficking, prostitution and many other illegal activities. Those governments did not bother about muslim sentiments but about their countries interests.
Mr. Naqvi, I hope you will spare some thoughts and actions in favour of the Kashmiri Pandits, millions of impoverished Indians. Foremost show your anger against the terrorists and cooperate with the Indian society in apprehending them and putting an end to terrorism.
