Hello friends,

What we finally want-peace between the two nation. Let us look for the solution by examining the real situations.

History- In past it has been proved pakistan never want to leave with peace, initiated the war many times instead of the fact that Bharat won over pakistan and then showed pity by not conquering it's territory. Pakistan violated the cease fire every time, even after that we are trying hard to discuss over these topics peacefully.

Help from US- Even Bharat (Hindustan) warned US for activities going in pakistan earlier US refused to blame pakistan for terrorism and after Osama bin laden founded in pakistan it was finally proved worldwide. Also from where does pakistan get so many weapon, going little deeper, search who was osama bin laden and who gave him rise and why later US became his enemy. What did US do with Iran and with it's resources, instead of being proved that Jammu and Kashmir is part of Bharat why US could not make final decision. US never want to solve the case of Jammu and Kashmir as in emergency it will help him to fight with china.

War- Is war the final solution, it is no. Main reason is terrorism and I agree with my friends we should look for the reason terrorism. Yes poverty is reason and every one should try to eradicate that but let us go into main reason of terrorism. Main reason is lack of education, they still do not teach maths, science of moons and stars, physics but even to little child they teach how to expand their religion. They teach little kids how to fire from gun and it is fact as they everyone has AK-47 just like pen pencils and vehicles we have. In my knowledge true religion is the which do not say that my religion is best then others or true secular is one who do not kill other if they do not adopt your religion.

So final solution and planning- we should give 2 or 3 three years which is enough time for pakistan to enlighten people with true knowledge, remove mess of orthodox custom in front of world. After that time period if things are not changing then last solution is war. As it is truly said that doing pity cruel is biggest cruelty on everyone, even on cruel because this pity will not help the cruel to know the truth and they will continue their ill doings.

There is no need to go to war with a country because on terrorism. It is not the country's fault. Every country has at least terrorist. Instead, India could help US in the war against terror.

If you go to war more people will die. Yes, already has declared war on terror. The UN is fighting as well there is no need to start a war that will kill millions. And it will definitely not get rid of the terrorists. Terrorists are everywhere. Yes, even India. Going to war with on country won't get rid of them. It might cause there to be more terrorism. In world's history, a war has always caused destruction and only destruction, nothing else. It will never lead to peace but only destruction and thereafter terrorism.

I may not be able to change your mind but I want you to ask yourself this. If India and Pakistan did go to war, what would you lose, what would your neighbor's lose, and what would your country lose.

If we consider that the war would solve the India-Pak issues then too, at which cost, everything would be destroyed and there would be the great loss of life, money, time and even property.

I think we should continue our peaceful talk with Pakistan because Pakistan is not the actual problem. Problem is the terrorism which doesn't want peace between Ind-Pak.

As you all must know that our country has too many social as well as economic problems like poverty, corruption and many more, which can be grown to worst if we engage in war.

People feel that Pakistan is a big problem for India, but I think they are totally wrong because Pakistan is not a problem but the non-civil government including ISI, and some groups of its army are the real culprits.

Today India's focus is to develop itself and eradicate the socio-economic problems that are prevailing in India. If go for a war against Pak it will distract us from our motive and will drown our country in the ocean of terror.

War can never be the solution. Not all Pakistanis are the culprit. There are some rotten fish who pollute the whole pond. There should be good relations with neighbors because a good relation strengthens the economy of the country and which intern fulfill the necessary demands of people of both countries which they are deprived of.

There is no doubt about it now - India has a problem, a big one, and it is Pakistan. But the real statement is, or should be - India has a problem, a big one, and it is the non-civil-government agents of Pakistan, who are out of civilian control totally.

I have worded this carefully, as I understand that. Pakistan's civil government may actually want peace with India. Pakistan's army may not entirely want disturbance this side of its border as they are at the receiving end of terror anyway.

Pakistan's non-civil actors (some fringes of its army, or the ISI, or some radical break-away groups or some radical individuals) may never want peace with India.

Some terror groups that are enemies of Pakistan may carry out attacks here in India as that suits their final motive (India gets angry, talks derail, skirmishes happen, Pakistan pays a price etc).

Irrespective of the subtleties of the argument describing today's situation, India is definitely a loser in it, as our sole worthy aim - raising the hundreds of millions out of poverty and into prosperity - gets defeated. Our focus dilutes. We deviate. The national debates change all over again.

Not good meanwhile, uncle Xi smiles in Beijing. He would be happy India is temporarily derailed. His huge One-Road-One-Belt strategy could ask for nothing else. If India loses its way, China gains in a big way (a crudely put statement that's true nonetheless especially given the increasing difficulty Xi faces in controlling democratic impulses of his citizens now).

So what can India do? We must ensure that a separate dedicated part of our foreign service is created solely for Pakistan and China issues (so that the larger world engagement does not suffer at all).

We must repeatedly remind everyone that prosperity and economic growth is crucial to the Indian dream, irrespective of terror attacks (as that alone will ensure our hotheads stay in control - poverty is big problem).

We develop trade linkages with Pakistan as economic ties cool sectarian tensions substantially. We remain united internally.

Pranay from Chandigarh.

It's extremely important to continue the peace talks with Pakistan. It's an open secret that Pakistan is a terrorism promoter, essentially controlled by its military. By letting go of peace talks, we absolve Pakistani leadership of stopping the peace process and give them a chance to blame India for the same while jumping along the lines of its military without a single hurdle. It would always say India stopped talking, thus the world won't focus on Pakistan anymore and each and every Pakistani would potentially become a terrorist.

And our military, however powerful, cannot stop a more than 10 crore Pakistan terrorist force unless it recreates tens of Hiroshima-Nagasaki's in Pakistan today. In response to that, of course, the world would hate India.

However, talk with Pakistan doesn't mean coffee discussions. India can pressurize Pakistan to get serious about terrorism, and in case of leniency, impose heavy economic sanctions which would break Pakistan already dismal economic situation.

The most horrific consequence of freeing Pakistan of this 'peace talk compulsion' would possibly be a redirection of mujahedeen in Afghanistan which are doubtlessly going to enter Pakistan now that NATO forces have left Afghanistan to Kashmir. Just like it did in the 1990's, and we very well know that Kashmirs have suffered for decades due to that militancy.

We talk of India being stronger than Pakistan in all respects and being more important to the world. Thus, by masterful diplomacy, cannot we force Pakistan, especially when the world already knows what Pakistan in reality is? We can China does it all the time to Tibet, Taiwan, etc.

War is an option only when we are attacked first. Never start a fight, but always finish it. We've done so in the past and should stay with this plan.

Dialogue is necessary. I wish there was an alternative. Sadly, there isn't.

Hello everyone.

According to me, the policy of dialogue should be continued but with strong effect and steps. We always try to maintain peace b/w two countries but perhaps Pakistan doesn't want it and we have seen this as its attitude in world bank issue due to little- increased height of 1. 5m of "BAGLIHAR DAM" on Chenab river, terrorism, 26/11 attack, Sarabjit hanged case, uri attack, Pathankot attack and nowadays Kulbhushan Jadhav hanging case and many more. It never showed the treaty behaviour, it always wants to harm our country.

Lord Krishna also said in Mahabharata that try all possible efforts of the treaty and not the occurrence of war because war will loss many of lives and economics although you can earn and develop again but you can't back the innocent lives that have gone in war. Pakistan illegally captured Kashmir and gave some part as a gift to china for making "SILK ROUTE" so that china can start a business with Africa Europe Gulf countries. India is developing country so if war will happen that we will be lost many and another country like china will get a benefit of it. So, firstly we should develope and be such a strong country that can handle such war.

"SURGICAL STRIKE" type answer should be given to Pakistan so that it will never try again to do such. If it kills 10 soldiers then we should kill their 100 soldiers. Thus steps fill the believe in citizens' heart towards the country and fear to the enemy. Only policy of dialogue is not sufficient till we don't take any strong decision but this decision should not be war.

Thank you.

Yes, We definitely should pursue our policy of dialogue with Pakistan. War is not an answer to anything. Please understand that the army of both countries are safeguarding their nation's interest and they are the one who is getting killed in a war without any personal enmity. The reason of war is terrorist and not an army of any of either country. Terrorist in case of no dialogue will further escalate tensions between both countries, they, on the contrary, will take advantage of this situation and will further impose their own ideology of bloodshed.

Understand no one wants war, everyone wants peace. War is never a solution and only will lead to disaster. We should give a chance to each other and try to eliminate terrorist in both countries jointly. They should make the world aware that they are indeed together in eliminating war. This will give the terrorist a warning either to curb their activities or get eliminated altogether.

Saying that, the intention should be backed by action and terrorist should be eliminated in real. This will see the spiral effects on all front. Economy improves, the budget of warfare will be used for good of the public, relation improves and most importantly enemy (terrorist) will never succeed in their intention of divide and rule.

Let's strive for unity, peace and betterment of each other and it will be a win situation for both.

Hope people of both countries wish good for each other. Also, both country should take care of Kashmiris who have always been at loss due to this war.

1) Dialogue with Pakistan is little bit sweet and sour experience for India remain so for.

2) Pakistani basically formed on the basis of religion so extremists always has dominating factor in Relation between India and Pakistan.

3) India got great leader after independence and Pakistan failed to occupy the same.

4) Pakistan has had mostly military power in the past so relation with India also determined by the army.

5) Pakistan favours thought of good terrorism and bad terrorism.

6) Pakistan is now nuclear capable country. It has capability to deter India.

7) Pakistan is always supported by China which it call all weather friend.

8) China will never accept growing influence of India in the world.

9) Chinese company finds very easy way to earn profit in Pakistan.

10) China has acquired land in the form of gift from Pakistan to counter India all around.

11) India wants to lead in every field in the world. Leaving Pakistan alone and not to have talk will cause drawback before India.

12) Pakistan is a Muslim country and most part of the world are Muslim or mostly rich country are rich in resources.

13) To have place in greatest influence body like permanent seat in NSG or UNSC.

14) Pakistan is a our neighbour country. Talking with Pakistan will come in this consideration.

15) Pakistan is rich in some resources like productive agriculture land. So whenever requirement is there we can earn it easily like in case of onion shortfall. This will fulfill our requirement.

Hi friend.

I think India should not have political talks with Pakistan. We have seen and experience many battles after independence. The more dialogue with Pakistan, the more cease fire violations, infiltrations at LOC. What have we to expect from Pakistan until Kashmir Problem is solved, . They too will never stop till they get Kashmir.

So why to talk and have a political dialogue with those Wolves who use Sheep's skin. Recently, both the Country PM had a political talks at UFA in Russia, soon after that there are lots infiltrators like firing at Indian border post at LOC killing a Jawan.

Very recently, after India celebrated to commemorates the KARGIL Martyrs on KARGIL DIVAS. There is an infiltration at Dinanagarh at Gurdaspur Dist of Punjab where SP of the District murdered at Cold-Blood killing innocent civilians and few policemen. Those militants were backed by Pakistan. Last but not the least.

Nothing will benefit out of Political talks with Pakistanis even if it holds talks a thousand times, the main reason being PAKISTAN is not controlled by PM but by Pakistani army.

So My dear friend what more can we expect from Pakistan. Instead we should give them a befitting reply to what they had done to us.

Hi, this is Samyuktha.

Sir, in my point of view that India should pursue the policy of dialogue with Pakistan that it leads in a better way.

What I am going to say the war is not the answer for the peace. By making pursue with Pakistan it will lead to the destruction of war. We have to behave like twin brothers.

So many army forces also spoiling their lives in this war. We are spoiling our lives.

So many bomb blasts are occurring in our country made by Pakistan. It spoils many of people's lives.

Better to solve the issue on kashmir state peacefully. Then only we get a co-operation with the Pakistan country.

So that Pakistan country also should avoid the terrorism maintaining gangs it makes the common people live in risk. Better to avoid that.

Osama bin who started this terrorism is one of the cruel person better t o remove that mentality of the person in the countries.

So, friends, I conclude that the prime minister of our India should take necessary steps to make that peace is the best way to make the pursue with Pakistan in the place of war. Better to protect the kashmir becasue so many destructions have happened in that state.

Pakistan has always acted as a breeding hub for terrorism. The country is well aware of its consequences too. The Peshawar Attack proved a counter - strike to their pro - terrorism strategy. Repeated warnings had been given to it but how far the Government had acted upon this is a matter of question for almost all the countries.

However, a war will only lead to the loss of lives. Imagine the Kargil condition. The ratio of casualties was 3 : 1. Getting into their place and attacking them would be proving nothing but whimsicality. The Army does not even have the proper data as to how many terrorists are hiding there and what weapons they have in hand. Moreover, the commoners are the biggest sufferers. They are even witnessed to run short of the basic amenities of life.

Therefore, I don't think war is the best way out. Our strategies towards Pakistan should change completely. We should join hands with nations who are ready to give fights to terrorism and not against any specific nation. On top of that, Pakistan is our neighboring country. In no ways, should we do something that will hamper our common interests bluntly?
