INDO-PAK:DISTANCE BREWING



Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his
Pakistani counterpart, Nawaz Sharif, did not greet
each other at the SAARC Summit in Kathmandu on
Wednesday.
On the Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s reiteration on confidence building between the two nations, his Indian counterpart  Narendra  Modi abruptly said that how can one be confident bearing the wound/scar of six years old 26/11 Mumbai attack. Though there were several remarkable confidence-breaking activities from Pakistan’s end since the the oath-taking of Modi as PM. Emphasizing on combating terrorism in South Asia, he proposed business visa with SAARC countries.
In the dais of 18th.SAARC Summit-2014 held in Nepal, both the premieres of India and Pakistan were present but looked downbeat at each other. The words of accusations are on fore, though indirectly. if the account be taken of Pakistan’s anti-India activities since May 2014,it would count in hundred including numerous violations of ceasefire. Ultimately India had to cancel the foreign secretary- level talks with Pakistan.
And now instead of putting check on the anti-India activities, Pakistan is blaming us of cancellation of the talks. It shows the dual policy of Pakistan that the talks and the anti-India activities would go simultaneously. One should have courage to oppose the misdeeds which Modi has conveyed. Besides, urged the SAARC nations to join hands to combat terrorism. If the sovereign nation has the right to keep itself peaceful, then its duty is not to disturb the neighboring nations too. One should be forthright to put everything to fore for the permanent solution of any problem. Pakistan’s third party appeal to resolve Jammu & Kashmir dispute is nothing more than a farce. It can be solved only by the two concerned nations in an amicable environment. Both the nations would have to come out of their ego and vested interest.  
However, on the statement of Nawaz Sharif about ‘the ball is in the India’s court’, Modi must respond whole heartedly arranging the foreign secretary-level talks again which might cut the ice between the two nations. Besides, India does not need any certificate of endurance, perseverance and above all the patience from anyone else.
In fact, Nepal’s bid to materialize the the difference between India and Pakistan is commendable. But pressure won’t work. The matter has gone far beyond pressure level.

WHEN BARBARISM CRUSHED HUMANISM



Jigar came to our house frequently during my school days. He was a mason by profession. Any major construction or a even minor repair work, he was the only person who was called. He used to sit at the corner of the floor bowing down his head. Keeping the head down was a part of his personality.We usually chatted with him at the tea time or any gap from the work.
The possessed a mild behavior, above all he was abundantly tolerant. I didn’t see even a line of frowning on his face despite provocation. In off hours, when we sat around my elder brother teased him. Though we all shared a light. He said-you are foolish, you are idiot etc. Jigar’s instant response was not more than JI…(it is a word which shows approval  in Hindi.).All of us burst into laughter just after his reply.His simplicity and innocence was admirable. These qualities make him just UNFORGETTABLE. Even now he is remembered at times during any conversation.
We also a nice fun time too. We asked him if he knew English. His immediate response was YES. For a fun, we often persuaded Jigar to speak English. He started speaking English boldly PAST INDEFINITE,PAST IMPERFECT, PAST PERFECT…..BEETA HUA ZAMANA…GUZRA HUA ZAMANA….AB KAL AANA (time passed, now come tomorrow).Seeing us laughing he also accompanied us. We enjoyed his company a lot. Meanwhile he lost his mental balance. He used to wander here and there after this state of mind.
Despite his mental state he often came to our house. We made him waiting in our house and sent message to his  by any means. In the meantime, the communal riot broke out in October 1989. During that period one fateful day arrive when a fanatic mob lynched him. Killing an insane person cannot be matter of bravery, but a huge blot on humanity. It cannot be glorified by any means. It just compels one to think the humanity is fading day by day.
