Its not Rajeev or VP didnt want to, they couldnt. Pakistan had a stronghold over this region and beyond. Rajeev nearly took India to war with Pakistan.
Citizen to citizen program? without the backing of governments? How that is possible? And no Nawaz Shareef is not your man as such but he got several business interests in India which is causing Pakistan as a state not to take tough decisions in respect to its dealings with India and its response to Indian terrorism.
Zia didnt do it for the sake of it and its a naive way to look at it in the context of cold war. Infact he found Pakistan surrounded on both flanks by the biggest armies of that time who happened to be strong cold war allies, the red army and Indian army and who happened to work hand in glove in the last war of 1971. How could be called ideal situation for Pakistan and the policies it persued? American support came much after we decide on our own to take on the soviets but any fool would have beleived that Americans will jump over to help Pakistan had the red army crossed durand line. India never been a sideshow for yanks. you lot top the receivers of USAID in last 66 odd years, that include the period when supposidly you were the Soviet allies.
NO, we dont want aisi ke tasi of India. who in right mind want a destablised nation of billion plus next door? we cant even handle Afghans and their messed up country. We just want India contained and subdued so it wont become a national security risk and terrorist threat for us like it has become in present day and age.
