The recent Indian decision, to me, is a prelude to
war. A war will not be in India's national interest. It may lead to unity
between the militants and the Pakistan army. This would be a setback for India.
A confrontation between the Jehadis and the Pakistani Establishment would suit
the Indian interests much better.

India and Pakistan cannot afford another war. These two
countries must sit down and discuss the mutual issues. Going for a devastating
war hardly makes any sense for both countries.

I think India is going
way too far. If India has any evidence against Pakistan, it should submit it to
a third country for a fair decision. This would be the right way to handle the current

India is turned into a corner by Kashmiri Mujahideens and now is behaving in a hawkish
way. It should give up its stubborn policies and give Kashmiris their right to
self-determination.

It is a definite sign that India does not wish to go for war. There are other

India’s decision is right because she had no other option. The other option
could be to go for a full-scale war, but it’s not an option at all worth to
consider.

India has been trying to get world's attention by
producing aggression-provoking dramas of self-inflicted wounds since Sept. 11.
On the basis of those worst type of events, she had taken steps that indicates
possibilities of war unilaterally in the region that is already tension-dreiven.
It does not serve any peace or development-oriented interest of a secular state
like India. Still, there is room to resolve the tension by dialogue and let the
people of two countries live peacefully.

India’s recent decision with regard to recall of its High Commission to
Pakistan and suspension of trains and bus services is no way a prelude to war.
Pakistan now needs to come up from the choices and that too should be a matching
response and favourable to positive condition.
Khawar M. Yousaf

It’s a
right decision taken by India. But this may not be a prelude to war. For, India
is just putting pressure on President Musharraf to see whether he can rein in
the militant outfits. If that does not happen, India may put some more
pressure like revoking MFN status and cancellation of the Indus water treaty,
etc.

I think it is the right move. Pakistan must now

dialogue cannot solve the problem.

I greatly appreciate Fardeen's remarks to me whose views represent the majority
of the Kashmiris on both sides of the LoC.
Instead of mired by the extremists forces, it is time for the common people and
intellectuals of both the countries India and Pakistan to wake up and work
together to live in peace, so that our scant resources can be diverted to the
poverty alleviation and other developmental projects, rather than spending on
the
military.

The Indian decision is not a prelude to war. There will be no war; no government
wants its economy and infrastructure to be destroyed. In fact, this is part of
South Asian politics. India is dominated by the bad politics while Pakistan is
under dictatorship. Ruling elites hardly care for the public opinion,
consequently the real victims of this stand off are the poor masses of South
Asia.

I am quite sure that the steps Indian government has taken so far are not a
prelude to war, rather they appear to be aimed at pressurizing the Pakistani
government and also to attract the world’s attention who has its focus on
Pakistan ever since the war against Terrorism has started.

In
my opinion, India is not going to declare war. This is just rhetoric to gain the
attention of the world community and to isolate Pakistan who took a courageous
step by aligning themselves in the fight against terrorism.
My suggestion to India is to calm down, and try to solve this problem on table
instead of creating war hysteria through media.

Terminating bus and train services from Pakistan and calling back its High
Commissioner to Islamabad by the Indian government are the tricks they often
play. General Pervez Musharraf has rightly said that it’s an arrogant attitude
of the Indian government.
FM Endrabi
Lahore, Pakistan
Eliminating terrorist
organizations like the LET, Jaish, Hizbul Mujaheedin,
LE-Janghvi, et. al. will be a boon for Pakistan in more ways than it can
imagine. These groups will never be able to deliver Kashmir. All they have
succeeded in doing is make life miserable for the ordinary people in the valley,
weather by their actions or by the actions of the security forces, for which
these organizations are ultimately responsible.
Kashmir was very peaceful and fully lived up to is name of "Heaven on
Earth", prior to the '90s, when these groups made their appearance. As a
kashmiri, I will never forgive
these groups or Pakistan for what they have done to my world.
Another thing that these groups have succeeded in is to malign
Pakistan's name, and associate it with terrorism. For the far off investor in
say Japan, Europe or the U.S, busy with their own lives, impressions are the
only things that matter. The world press is showering Pakistan with rather
caustic remarks in spite of Pakistan being a "Frontline State", and we
have all heard about the "Accident of Geography" story. All these
claims about poverty alleviation will come to a naught if there is no
investment, no new jobs for the countless unemployed, or there is massive trade
and rapid economic development.
Pakistan counts on China for trade and investment, while
ignoring the world's 4th largest economy next doors, where people
have the same likes-dislikes, their way of life, their society, their festivals,
et. al. just one look at the map says it all, look at how far is China and how
close India is [or can be!].
The Military-ISI combine is another factor that has lead to
Pakistan's current situation. As long as democratically elected governments are
evicted from office at the whims of the GHQ Islamabad, or the ISI guys play
havoc with Pakistani society, engineering strikes at certain groups, while
supporting the other [never mind their keeping India "Busy with
Itself"], Pakistan will never realize its true potential.
The mood in India is to teach the Pakistani Military-ISI
combine a lesson, to perhaps unwind
it and leave it a lesser organization than it is. Believe me when I say that
this will be a blessing in disguise for Pakistan. I am all for it if it will
eliminate the "core groups" responsible for this problem between India
and Pakistan.
Fardeen,
Srinagar, India
I
think, it is a right decision by India to call the high commissioner and to call
off of the train and bus service. This is one of the ways to put pressure on
Pakistani government to stop the growth of terrorist organiziations, which
is hurting the world community including Pakistani people. How can anybody allow
leaders from these organizations to give fanatic statements in public and
misguide people? I hope, all the good Pakistani people will raise their voice
against terrorism and enable everybody to live peacefully.
Kashmir
problem shall get resolved, this problem is not presently helping the common
people in both countries other than serving the interests of few politicians on
both sides.
Since
Kashmir is the root cause of all troubles between India and Pakistan, Can any
one provide here any logical explanation why Kashmir should go to Pakistan?
Regarding suspension of bus and train service, why shouldn't India take this
action, since these services are one of the major sources for all Pakistani
espionage and supported terrorists to gain entrance in India. This move could
have taken place much before. So far 50,000 Pakistani who have come to India
through these routes, have never gone back to Pakistan.
What
do u think they are doing in India? Off course many of them are involved in all
kind of destructive activities.
And why shouldn't India recall its HC from Pakistan at the time when Pakistani
government is giving support to the group of people who wants to destabilize
India. Certainly this is not the friendly act so what is need of maintaining
relations with Pakistan and posing that both India and Pakistan are friendly
countries.
Guys!! give it a thought.

India's act of calling back her High
Commissioner from Islamabad seems to be an effort to muster international
support and put pressure on Pakistan thereby compelling her to take action
against LeT and some other organizations blamed by India for activities
inside Indian Occupied Kashmir. This action probably has been initiated due
to pressure from hawks in Indian government who represent the
fundamentalist Hindu groups.
The withdrawal of the Indian High Commissioner
does not seem to be a prelude to war. I think India understands that she cannot
afford aggression against her nuclear neighbour as it is likely to be too
devastating even for her ownself. By mobilizing the military formations, India
is trying to internationalize her stance of "cross border
terrorism" against Pakistan in full intensity, with the hope that she
might be able to draw attention of the world community and win its
sympathies.
Ghazanfar Dar
Lahore, Pakistan
India is trying to put maximum international pressure on Pakistan; its decision
to recall its High Commissioner to Islamabad is part of this policy. There
is no doubt that India has succeeded in its propaganda tactics as it has
mustered the support of International Community. In the background Pakistan
needs to be extra vigilant on both the diplomatic and propaganda fronts. The
chances of real war are bleak at present; however, lot depends on the larger
interests of United States in this region and the reaction from China too.

The region is tantalisingly near full-scale war and I doubt that the armed forces of Pakistan will be capable of dealing with the crisis. Pakistan has, unfortunately, been ruled by the unelected elements on one or other pretext since its inception, and instead of devoting their energies on professional training, they have been indulging in occupying almost all the key posts in the civilian set up.
I hope
the sanity will prevail and the war would be avoided which spells disaster for
both countries. I hope present military ruler would consider leaving the helm of
the affairs of the country to the politicians.

on the same tables as expats in U.S., Europe or Middle East then why not in

India's attempts at cashing in on the present
situation regarding the "fight against terrorism" comes as no
surprise; Weather Pakistan was involved in the
terrorist activity can only be ascertained through proof, which India does not
intend to provide. But as India does not care about evidence, I believe as a
nation it is our duty to stand by the adage of "Innocent until proven
guilty," and act according to outcome. This as a nation would be the
ultimate test of our mettle.
Salman Sheikh
Dallas, TX, USA
I
think as a nation we have not understood the world politics very well. The past
fifty years has shown us that Americans always use Pakistan as a staging ground
for their own interests. Which always suits the Military rulers of
Pakistan. Unfortunately President Musharraf while saving his job has created a
big mess by creating two hostile borders for Pakistan.
How
things are going to be for the Muslim world, to me, we are watching a
uncertain scenario developing specially for Pakistan, Where we will be ripped
of from our nuclear capabilities and possibility is that Kashmir issue may
eventually get solved by the American-Indian partnership. What
we are watching right now is the first phase of that doctrine, where world media
is slowly building thought process of masses, and then in the second phase we
will see the actions.
Naveed Ahmad Abbasi

I
do not believe that India is preparing for a war. A war is not in Indian
interest, why? Because of Pakistan's nuclear deterrent any significant invasion
of international border is not a viable option for India, or for that matter,
Pakistan too.
Beside
an overwhelming numerical and material superiority that India has over Pakistan,
India’s chief advantage over Pakistan is logistics. The logistic factor can be
brought to bear when the front is wide spread. If the war remains confined to
Kashmir, Pakistan can defend it's territory even at present 1:4 imbalance of
forces.
Mustafa H. Rizvi

War clouds are gathering in the sky over India and Pakistan. The attack on the Indian Parliament was the last straw on the proverbial camel's back. Indians cannot take any more of the kind of terrorism unleashed by the terrorist groups sheltered and nurtured by Pakistani army.
The Pakistani dictator-turned- President may repeat his threats and warnings, but it would be largely for the domestic consumption.
While the American President has already rushed to the side of his frontline partner, behind the scene he is believed to be already twisting the General's arms to rein in the terrorist gangs operating with total protection from the Pakistan army.
Unless Pakistan complies with the Indian demand to hand over the suspected leaders of the Lashkar and Jaish, Indian retribution will surely unfold in the coming days
B.V. SHENOY
India.
This
is not a prelude to war. India wants to isolate Pakistan in the
international community. Already by supporting the U.S. in its the fight
against terrorism, Pakistan has bounced back into the international arena of
respectability, which India could not accept and digest.
Now India wants to project Pakistan in a bad light and undo
the patronage it (Pakistan) received by the Western Powers for joining the
ongoing fight against terrorism. Withdrawal of bus services and the High
Commissioner are only desperate acts by India in this direction. This will
hardly serve any Indian interest.

will use the power of international diplomacy to force Pakistan to crack down on

Pakistan.
India will not initiate any action that cannot be managed. It is in the
best of
Indian interest to use (support and
encourage) the rational elements within Pakistan to control such groups.
In fact India might help these "rational" elements with
the support of an international coalition.

like, Is India right in attacking Pakistan or not?
Arshad
Hyderabad
Indian decision to call back its High
Commissioner to Islamabad appears to be guided by the following aims:
a. To suppress the indigenous freedom movement of the long oppressed
Kashmiri
people.
b. To reduce Pakistan to the status of a client state.
To achieve these aims under the prevailing situation, India believes, it is essential that Pakistan be seen in a derogatory light, and what is more demeaning and strategically suicidal for a state than to be seen as a supporter of terrorists. India has staged a number of such acts, including the infamous hijacking episode.
Secondly, we all are aware of the overtures
Indian Prime Minister Mr. Vajpayee made to the US, without being asked, in an
effort to outflank Pakistan after the tragic events of September 11. That of
course would have been the easiest method for India to achieve its designs, as
Pakistan was at the risk of being lumped with the likes of the despicable
Taliban, and being meted out the same punishment.
True, Pakistan is not Afghanistan, but do we have a deterrent to the kind of punishment, which Afghanistan got? No, we don't, we might have lasted a little longer, but would have lost a lot more, including our nuclear assets, which are a constant thorn in India's side.

Taking
advantage of the ongoing war against global terrorism led by US, India is trying
to brand Pakistan as a promoter of terrorism and is applying pressure on
Pakistan by taking such steps to show the world community that it has a serious
concern against Pakistan's so-called involvement in terrorism.
By
calling back its High Commissioner from Pakistan and halting train and bus
service between the two countries reflects India's frustration as it has been
singled out in the present world scenario and is eagerly looking for worlds'
attention.

Rizwanul

It can be a prelude to war but there is little possibility of it. India is trying to exert maximum pressure upon Pakistan to stop its political and diplomatic support to Kashmiri freedom fighters.
The movement of troops on the borders is a part
of propaganda to convince the outside world that tension exists for which, as
India asserts, Pakistan is responsible. It was with this objective in view that
the government agencies carried out attack on the parliament building.
Despite pressure from religious political
parties, India will not cross the line of control in Kashmir. If it does, it
will evoke powerful response from Pakistan.
Because of fierce opposition of Kashmiris to the occupation forces and
geographical situation unfavourable to it, India will not commit the folly of
military adventure. It would simply mean losing Kashmir. In 1965 war when Jammu
was about to fall, Lahore was attacked so as to save Kashmir, the strategy
worked, but by this time it may not be easy for India to cross the international
border.
The world community is now more convinced that
Kashmir is a disputed territory
and any adventure against Pakistan will be considered as an aggression. India
will fail to get support even from Russia if there is an aggression against
Pakistan. The conclusion is that whatever India is doing now, it will
continue doing it but to what end……….?

Calling
back High Commissioner from Pakistan does not look an appropriate step from

India
is not digesting the importance of Pakistan being given by the USA, Europe and
the Muslim Block in the war against terrorism. India has been desperately trying
to show its allies and US that Kashmiri movement is an act of terrorism, for
this India has plotted recent flopped plans, the attack of Indian parliament was
one of its flopped dramas.
Now,
India has decided to recall its High Commissioner to Pakistan as well as
suspend train and bus services between the two countries from January 1. This is
part of India’s same continuing campaign against Pakistan and to bring the
world’s attention to obtain the sympathy, and also pressurise Pakistan to take
action against Islamic groups existing in Pakistan.
Syed
Atiq ul Hassan,

I
feel that it is a bit early to recall it's high commission by India and the
matter had not reached up to this level. But the basic point here is not that
India has recalled it's high commission, the point is to understand the gravity
of the situation which does not mean anything for Pakistan meant a lot for India
like US.
Pakistan
decided to join the international collision because it didn't had any option.
Either it had to join or it would have been another Afghanistan by now.
The
whole world Knows that Lashkar-i-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammad operate from
Pakistan. I don't think that even president will have any doubt on this.
They are terrorist organizations this is also for sure, so if Pakistan is so
called with the war against terrorism then why can't it come down heavily on
these irrespective of whether or not it was behind the attack or if there any
proof of that.
Hope
to get the unbiased view of yours on this.

Even
though almost all Pakistanis are unhappy and upset with India over their
treatment of Kashmiris in particular and Muslims in general, we should not
condone act of barbarism by any terrorist. First two wrong do not make one
right. Second what if any goal will this achieve for Pakistan and Kashmiris in
short or long run.
Also
the "mujahideen" terrorize our own publics promoting religious and
sectarian violence against fellow citizens in the name of Islam.
Third
their activities directly and indirectly weaken the country socially,
politically, economically as well as militarily. If they want to confront a
country as powerful as India with its even stronger allies, they need to make
sure that Pakistan will be able to teach them an unforgettable lesson in case of
overt aggression.
It
will be very foolish to believe that God will help those who are their own worst
enemies and unwilling to help themselves. I,
therefore, think Pakistan government should take strong action against any
organization who is terrorizing Pakistanis or any one else, but will be nowhere
to be found in case of retaliation by the enemy.

The
current Indian Government is based upon the Hindu terrorist organisations such
as VHP, RSS, Bajrang Dal and Shiv Sena. Such a government will not leave any
opportunity to harm Muslim world internally and externally. And so it can even
impose a war on Pakistan in the name of anti-terrorism, which will help itself
to avoid its corruption charges.
Hence
Pakistan need to be extremely vigilant and prepare itself to face any emergency
and must gather the support globally in case of any attack. Also must give tough
reply and not soft offers to India.

for a joint probe and the guilty is proved, only then Pakistan may put some

In my opinion it is not a prelude to war. This is one more Indian tactics to put international pressure on Pakistan and to cover its human rights violations in Kashmir.
AQ

After
Pakistan became the front line state in fight against terrorism, an incident in
India, which could attract the attention of the world, was expected, and finally
the incident of attack on the Indian Parliament came in the lime light. It is a
determined fact that what ever happened in India, the responsibility is always
fixed by the Indian Government (and also by the Indian media) on Pakistan.
Kashmiris, Sikhs and other suppressed
people in different provinces of India are fighting the battle of their
independence and right to self-determination. The only matters in which Pakistan
cannot be involved by the Indian Government are: earthquakes, floods and heavy
rains, as these are acts of God.
It is an evident fact that India is
against the existence of Pakistan on the world map, and therefore, leaves no
stone unturned to put blame on Pakistan for every thing that happens in India.
Similarly, during the visit of former U.S. President Bill Clinton, the incident
of killing of 37 Sikhs in March 2000 by Indian soldiers were also blamed by
the Indian Government on Pakistan.
Now after the terrorist attack on the
Indian Parliament by some unknown people, the Indian Government want to invade
Pakistan and at the same time would like to seek the help of international
coalition, who had joined U.S. in fighting the war in Afghanistan against the
terrorism. The Indian Government before accusing Pakistan should provide
credible proof to the Pakistani Government, so that a through inquiry should be
initiated to determine the attack. India should forget that it can cause any
further harm to Pakistan, as each and every Pakistani will stand to safe guard
the interest of their motherland.
It has now become crystal clear to the
international coalition, that Pakistan is against the terrorism and will remain
part of the international coalition in fighting back against terrorism.
Recalling Indian Ambassador from Pakistan and suspension of bus and train
service between the two countries is one of the tactics of the Indian Government
to pressurize Pakistani Government and to gain the sympathies of international
coalition in favour of India.
These
are all repercussions for Pakistan of being the front line state in fighting
against terrorism, Osama Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda Group. The attack on the Indian
Parliament was pre-planned by the Indian intelligence agencies, as the U.S. war
in Afghanistan is in the last leg, after signing of the Bonn accord. India has
always been blaming Pakistani government for one reason or another, for
indicating the atrocities to the world, which are committed by the Indian
soldiers.
India has refused the offer of
the U.S. Government to conduct investigations by the FBI and has also refused
the offer of Pakistani Government for joint the interrogation of attack on the
Indian Parliament. The fairness of Indian Government if evident to the world as
India would like continuing to charge Pakistan with one sided story.

Pervez Musharraf and Pakistani Armed Force to face any consequences, which may
come out from Indian aggression. Pakistani Nation is united on one platform and
will reply with full force, if India will invade Pakistan. The world should know
that India is preparing for a possible war. Recalling its Ambassador from
Pakistan and terminating its bus and train service is the beginning of
preparation of war by India.
