1. Use the good infrastructure we've built during these 5 years of peace.
2. Recognize that each country has blamed the other for tens, maybe hundreds such incidents. Most such accusations have had to be rolled back and the others were never proven.
3. Pakistan is yet to hang Sarabjit and India is yet to hang Afzal for terror incidents blamed and proven upon the other side by the highest levels of courts on each side.
4. Pakistan is in no shape to expand the issues beyond Kashmir.
5. Indians have come a long way since Gujarat 2002. India is striving honestly to integrate the Muslim population as normal Indians.
6. The meeting between Pak and Indian foreign ministers right on the day of the attacks was to give a formal statement that India and Pakistan will refrain from taking each others names right off the bat when such incidents happened. Let's act upon it.
7. Peace always trumps war. We can't discount the probability of terrorists on our side doing mischief in India. Let's face it, we've got a wild wild west in Pakistan where we are trying our best to control but its still quite out of our reach.
8. Like the people of India, Pakistanis aren't monsters who would be okay with the death of 5 people which leaves an orphan child in this world. We are not okay with acts of violence where children are murdered in front of their parents. We do not vote for such governments, our vote does not sanction any of this.
9. If rogue elements are found within our government, we would want them impeached. The same way you have forced resignations out of the incompetent officials who allowed this incident to happen.
10. We are no fans of Lashkar-e-Tayyaba(LeT). I for one think fighting for Kashmir is fair game, but if the LeT would take things out of Kashmir, it loses my support. My fight is not with the Indians of Delhi, of Mumbai. My fight is right till I fight the wrong. Which I believe is the Indian occupation, not the Indian.
11. The LeT has been banned. The LeT is not going around giving speeches in Lahore as it is perceived to be. First of all, Lahore is an extremely urban setup. If sometimes Hafiz has gotten away with giving speeches is because he isn't considered a high security threat to Pakistan. He spends most of his time in Kashmir. If he pops up from time to time in Pakistani cities, you should consider it a goof up, not an intentional ploy against India.
12. We should each consider our own people's involvement in all these incidents. About 10 incidents have happened in Pak which were termed by terrorists to be in response to "Lal Masjid". Instead of actually targeting TTP, we've always believed it is the Indians. If we, as Pakistanis, would take away the reason why Pakistanis choose to side with an external agency to conspire against Pakistan, then the problem would itself go away. Indians too need to start believing that there are Indians capabale of killing other Indians. Whether or not they did it at some other country's behest is a secondary issue. Indians want to kill Indians, that should be the matter for concern.
13. Once you address the factors (poverty of Muslims compared to the Hindus, incidents of massacre against Muslims, some provocative remarks by Superiority Complexed Hindu groups, etc) that encourages terrorism, you would've won 90% of the fight. Most terror fights are bouts of ideologies. You can't kill an ideology with a bullet. You need to show empathy. Even to the terrorists side. You don't need to bow down to their demands, but make an effort to understand.
14. Try to build bridges. Do something good for each other's country. It is very hard to punch a guy after you've received a favor from him no matter how wrong he or she is.
15. Remember terrorists are affecting us all. Work with each other. Try to distinguish between an enemy and a citizen. We have had many mechanisms in place. Keep talking to each other. Keep up the cultural trade. Don't stop the cricket.
