  • That US and India are now talking about Pakistan, for the first time since Partition, is welcome. New Delhi did have some reason to be apprehensive about “reverse pressure” from the US on Islamabad. Yet, unlike in the early 1960s or the early 1990s, India today is much stronger and far less vulnerable to external pressures on Kashmir. As it stays engaged with Holbrooke, New Delhi has no incentive whatsoever to reduce the all-important Af-Pak policy debate to a bilateral problem with either Washington or Islamabad.

    Catch?By: S.V.Ramanan | 10-Apr-2009 Reply | Forward Comments emanating from US suggest that US wants India ,Pakistan and and US to jointly fight against terro ism.Terrorism in Pakistan has its roots on fundamentalism while in India it is perpetrated by Pakistan. Under the circumstances, it is pernicious to join forces with Pakistan.But US refrain that it would not interfere in Kashmir is a welcome sign along with its contention that India must have a greater say in Afganistan.
