The Pakistani government has postponed an idea of declaring India as the most-favored-nation as far as its economic and business relationship with India is concerned.  It has been done on the pretext of impending Lok Sabha election next month.  But this should not surprise the Indian leadership in New Delhi.  This topic has surfaced many a times in the past also with no fruitful results.  The basic cause of this failure on the part of Pakistani government is the pressure mounted on Islamabad by the nexus of ISI/Military as well the unlawful non-state militant actors in Pakistan.  It is true that healthy business relationship between countries brings prosperity for the people of those nations.  However, it is also true to allocate resources towards achieving this goal without understanding the crux of the problem is a waste of time, energy and resources.  We all know that the civilian government in Islamabad, even though democratically elected, has no say in making foreign policy decisions towards India without a nod emanating from the nexus of ISI/Military/militant non-state actors in Pakistan.  Yes, Mr. Sharif made lot of promises during his election campaign to improve relations with India, but he underestimated the pressure which the above nexus can thrust upon him to defeat his objective.  One hoped that Mr. Sharif, while making those wild promises during his election campaign, had  learnt some lessons from his failed policies of 1999 viz-a-viz dealing with the above nexus.  Unfortunately, not.  The nexus is still powerful and running the show in Pakistan.  In my opinion, India should not hold its breath and continue on the path of progress while opening up the markets to the whole world, bring new technology, improving educational standards, exploring new fields of energy and most importantly keep the basic needs of people at affordable prices.  NOT GETTING A MOST FAVORED NATION DECLARATION IS A LOSS TO PAKISTAN AND NOT TO INDIA.
