Pavel + 384 PP February 19, 2019 Pakistan’s foreign minister appealed to the U.N. Secretary General on Tuesday to help ease tension with India that has escalated sharply following a suicide bomb attack in the Indian part of disputed Kashmir, that India blamed on Pakistan. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, facing an election by May, has warned Pakistan to expect a “strong response” to the bombing claimed by a Pakistan-linked militant group, raising fears of conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors. “It is with a sense of urgency that I draw your attention to the deteriorating security situation in our region resulting from the threat of use of force against Pakistan by India,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi wrote to U.N. Secretary General Antonio Guterres. “It is imperative to take steps for de-escalation. The United Nations must step in to defuse tensions,” he wrote, blaming India for deliberately ratcheting up its hostile rhetoric for domestic political reasons. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pakistan has a strong enough military and intelligence agency to control a lot of these terrorists. They seem to use the various groups for their own benefits.

The fact of the matter is that this goes on all the time, and Pakistan always does the same thing........ ie: PAKISTANI TERRORISTS ATTACK INDIA, AND BEFORE INDIA CAN RESPOND, PAKISTAN COMPLAINS TO THE UNITED NATIONS SAYING "HELP US, THE MEAN INDIANS WANT TO HURT US." Isn't is interesting how fast Pakistan always complains to the UN ? Almost as if the Pakistani government knew in advance that the attack was going to occur....! Last year, it was Pakistani terrorists killing tourists at an India Luxury Hotel.......... Long ago, my father used to joke that "the saddest thing about the end of the cold war is that Russia didn't nuke New York and Washington DC first........ I feel the same way about Pakistan.......... War between Pakistan and India is inevitable, and it will be Pakistan that starts it.... Personally, i hope India wins......... I had a girlfriend in college from India..... She was gorgeous...

Sukumar Ray + 52 February 20, 2019 (edited) Britishers ruled, plundered and exploited this subcontinent and divided the country before leaving. Both India and Pakistan are suffering because of that sinister, ill witted partition. Today two nuclear neighbors are hostile to each other since birth and fought many wars and lost thousands of people -counted both sides. Borders are never calm and unprovoked shelling, firing from both sides are a common place. Situations in the bordering states like Punjab and J&K are testimony to never ending hostilities of these two arch rivals. Once most powerful British Empire is today reduced to an Island which is again most divided, polarized and in a state of total pandemonium and expectedly waiting to be further splitted post hard Brexit. It is predicted that the importance of London will fade away and reduced to nowhere within a decade post Brexit . Neighbors always have problems in the borders, few erect concertina fencing , few build walls -all because of political reasons , occasionally do end up in fighting but terrorism across the borders is a global menace. Today USA, Europe, India, China, Arabs and all countries suffer because of this . This is a global challenge and needs global action. No nation can afford War in 21st Century. No more death and mourning , the World needs peace, prosperity and togetherness. We are same people, same hope , aspirations and compassion- just divided by boundaries, colour of the skin , languages and religions.

Secondly what else proof does Pakistan wants when the person who is claiming the responsibility of the attack lives in Pakistan who hijacked the plane from India and got himself released ... Now they fear action from Indian Army... they need to take corrective action at their end But they keep appeasing the hardliners in their own country .... Needless to mention Army of Pakistan has its own agenda 3 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

India has border disputes with China also. But these border disputes should never become a war like situation. China, India and Pakistan all three Asian countries have powerful military with nuke capabilities . All are aware of each others abilities and it is maintaining a balance in the region . India is a peace loving country and are never agressive and hostile to any country. In its 5000 years history India has never attacked any country in the World. 1 1 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I completely disagree. Partition is the Worst thing that had happened and causing calamities across our borders . Britishers did terrible things . It comes back to you what you do unto others. India has the 3rd largest Muslim population in the world after Indonesia and Pakistan and living peacefully since Independence . Imagine no partition happened . India, Bangladesh and Pakistan combined would have given huge geographical position and 375 million extra population working for the development of the nation.India could have spent billions for developmental works , education , health and infrastructure which is currently wasted for protecting its borders and cross border terrorism. Political equation with China would have been different . BTW, If you think Muslims are a problem for India , then you are truly Insane and Inhuman. Muslims in this country can become President and have been contributing for the development of India like any people from other religions. India is a divine and mysterious land where so many religions can co-exists peacefully and you should been surprised for that.

I am not even British, but even i can see they are not part of this....... I think- difference between India and Pakistan is partly Religious and MOSTLY POLITICAL. Partition creating Borders and Inconclusive Borders which we call "Line of Control" and "Actual Line of Control" are true bone of contention- not Religion. India has been maintaining very good and strong relations with many countries in the world who are more religious Islamic than Pakistan. Religions really does not make such difference in this world, otherwise Muslim countries would not have fought against each other indulging in Fratricidal Wars. As for example, China and Japan , North Korea and South Korea , USA and Russia have enmity emanating from Religious differences ?? I do not think so. Who can be blamed for partition of India according to you ? Can you please kindly enlighten me on that ?

Maybe something lost in translation. Yes the caste system was created in India. My point was not a few Inders in the West are always blaming the caste system on 'Britishers' or the exploitation of it by them. But if Inders hadn't of dreamt up such a system there would be nothing to exploit along these lines. Btw a caste system within a religion is different than sects as exist in Islam and Christianity or Judaism. That is an apples to oranges comparison. 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
