Nice sentiment, but the stories we hear from our elders regarding the savage murder of our people at the hand of your people, where infants were violated with spears, will never be forgot.
A free trade agreement with China makes even less sense from that logic. Because Chinese manufacturing sector can reduce costs in a way few other world industries can dream about . And its the case not just with India, or Pakistan but with almost every other major Chinese trading partner.There is machinery etc. that is imported from China which India does not provide. You can look at the list they come up with after talks.
Everytime some significant Chinese investment or exports come in, they help Pakistan set up infrastructure etc. There is a qualitative difference in what we get from China than what we get with India (which may change in the future, but is not the case currently).
Econ101? What is that?
i didn't say the relationship between china & pakistan is based on paramounts.two countries will never come close to each other unless each others interest converge.its true after US, pakistan desperately need some one powerful which can fill the void.as in case of china it want a friend by which it can achieve a greater clutch in this region.
and your textbook too contain these hate texts, mention them also...
Yes partition was a sin. Many stories are told both sides and perhaps someday both nations will promise each other that such atrocities will never again happen. Gandhi allegedly told a Hindu who confessed to killing Muslims and Muslim children that he should seek redemption by adopting a Muslim child and raising that child as a Muslim. Perhaps India and Pakistan should exchange Muslim and Hindu "children" in the form of trade. In so doing there should be measures in place which ensures that Pakistani markets are not exploited by India and that India continues to grant MFN status to Pakistan. In doing so Pakistan should measure the Indian products such as motor vehicles which will benefit its market and reduce import tariffs on those items. It is a given fact that the Chinese are leaders in manufacture of heavy engineering machinery (I saw Chinese machinery in Delhi when I was recently there). Likewise India should remove all trade tariffs on Pakistani commodoties such as rice etc. If Indian products improve the Pakistani economy and vice versa then that will be a starting point in easing of relationships. Economic pressure will thereafter ensure that politicians on both sides resolve outstanding issues such as Kashmir etc. So the chances of both of our nations apologising to each other for the sins of the past and seeking forgiveness from each other is not so much a pipe dream after all
Arrogance and ignorance is a dangerous cocktail. It is Pakistan's loss to say the least. We get more money from Pakistan in trade than Pakistan gets from India. Instead of addressing trade deficit, Pakistan is discouraging trade. Unreal and foolish.keh diya na nhi dety to nhiii detyy jao ab dimagh mat khao
This was exactly the argument mooted by finance ministry in India until 1991. We opened up our economy and did not look back. We stand to gain and the simple theory of the most poor country stands to benefit most from trade between countries stands firm.
