India and Pakistan


India and Pakistan are two neighbouring countries always fighting with each other since their being two soverign nations in 1947 bifurcating one country that was governed under British India for about 150 years.Since its inception Pakistan is constantly in fighting with India under one or other pretext. Over Kashmir, a piece of land annexed to India in 1947 after its ruler decided to remain in India Pakistan is making various kind of allegations against India. It has attracted the attention of International Communities on several occasions claiming the Kashmir and its people to get an opportunity to self determine whether to be annexed to India or Pakistan. It mantains still now after such a long gap that the people of Kashmir have not been consulted before ceded to India hence a plebiscite is still necessary in that region. But the recent democratic processes like elections held so many times there have shown that the people have responded in participating in the process indicating that they have accepted the decision to be amalgamated with India.
Meanwhile Pakistan has been torn apart giving birth to a new country called Bangladesh in 1971. Since then Pakistan has vociverously engaged in a smear capaign against India, as it thinks that creation of Bangladesh is the handiwork of India. It is since then engaged in creating disturbances in India in one or other sorts. In the name of Jehadi it is engaged to train up terrorists to infiltrate into Kashmir and other parts of India. On so many occasions in the past, in most of the terrorist activities its hands were traced. Some fire brand Indian born terrorists have taken shelter in side its territory. In spite of credible evidence Pakistan used to spurn the evidences handed over by India and no action is taken against the persons engaged in these activites from its soil. India is making allegation the State agencies like ISI and Pakistan Army/ Navy are colluding and giving support to these terrorists.
Since Mumbai attack there is a different kind of tension between the countries. The ghastly activity perpetrated on the innocent people in Mumbai in two posh Hotels and the CST the railway station was masterminded by some persons in Pakistan. It is accepted by Pakistan now, in spite of initial denials, after the world community shown it to Pakistan. Now it seem India has carried out a diplomatic attack on Pakistan without resorting to any military action. Now the Pakistan State is in a quandry. How to offset the dilomatic offensive?
