Opinion: Indian Premier Modi should not isolate Pakistan's Sharif | Opinion | DW.COM | 30.09.2016
Keywords: India, Pakistan, Pakistan Army, Sharif, Modi,
This opinion piece in DW.com says India's prime minister should not isolate prime minister Sharif of Pakistan, as he had no part in the escalation of tensions in Kashmir. Foreign and military affairs are now run by the Pakistan Army, and isolating Sharif only entrenches the Army it says, which has kept up tensions similar to the situation in 1999 with the Kargil crisis when the Pakistan Army initiated a conflict in Kargil region. At that time Indian premier Vajpayee and Pakistan premier Sharif were improving relations.
Relations betwen prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Gen. Raheel Sharif of Pakistan military- 2014-2015
10/09/2014
On issues of tribal Waziristan and an army campaign, India, and the prosecution of former army chief Musharraf, Nawaz Sharif differed with Raheel Sharif. The differences are gradually being bridged following the Imran Khan street protests, as Pakistan returns to a situation that existed under the previous administration of Mr. Zardari, of control by the army with economic administration run by the president.

India and Pakistan and the tensions in Kashmir and Afghanistan.
12/06/2006
Kashmir tensions are rising. And Indian assistance in Afghanistan reconstruction is opposed by Taliban. This complicates further negotiations between India and Pakistan as Pakistan already is going through political transition and the army runs foreign affairs for Pakistan.

12/06/2006
Behind the terrorist groups there is the Kashmir issue. And reports sugest no dimunition in capabilities and thin distance between the intelligence agency and these groups in Pakistan. With cooperation between Indian and Pakistan poice and intelligence at zero a year after 26/11 Mumbai, fresh thinking is needed. For 500 million people in North America and 1500 million people in South Asia these events threaten their economic future, infrastructure and development in South Asia, and economic renewal in North America.

Prime minister Modi's inauguration in India, May 26, 2014, and the meetings in New Delhi with prime minister Sharif of Pakistan
05/24/2014
A rapproachement with Pakistan, "uninterrupted and uninterruptible" in the words of the Foreign Ministry of Pakistan, as "development" agenda of Modi moves from the Indian election to the top of the South Asian agenda. A look at Pakistan's daily newspaper Dawn's website shows the brother of Nawas Sharif visited New Delhi as Punjab chief minister seeking substantive talks in December 2013, but was not taken up by the Congress party government because of elections. Pakistan's Foreign Ministry spokesman says the delay in accepting the Modi invitation for the inauguration is because Pakistan wanted bilateral discussions to give the Sharif visit substance. In the context of Shabaz Sharif's goal it would appear that the Sharifs have grasped the idea that their hold on confidence in Pakistan for a second term, unlike all previous administrations, depends on delivery of economic promises, made easier with an economic alliance with India. It would not be lost on Sharif's election planners that the key for his party in Punjab (and in future the Sindh province), is the young newly added voters, especially after Modi took most of the 10 million newly registered voters in India in 2014. To be the man who made peace, and delivered on economic development, is a once in many generations opportunity for Sharif especially as the young people in India and Pakistan now see potholes and electricity outages more easily than skirmishes in remote far away places than have little to do with daily lives and doing without.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
