Any time there is a problem, fight or misunderstanding between two parties, there are a few ways to improve the relationship and they are either via. exchange of dialogues, exchange of cultural programs, development of economic environment and diplomacy. What Ms. Kejiwal is doing a step in the right direction, but it is not a course of action which has not been tested before. To make a long story short, Indian Bollywood has provided lot of economic opportunities to the Pakistani actors on a continuous basis. Indian government has also attempted to ameliorate a bilateral relationship through Samjhotta bus service between India and Pakistan. Lots of summit meetings have also taken place between the high officials of both countries since the birth of Pakistan, India and Pakistan have tried to award a Most Favored Nation status to each other. Unfortunately, nothing has worked. The situation between these two countries is worse than what they had started with in 1947. Now, I do not mean to sound like a frustrated and pessimistic individual, rather I believe in keeping a positive attitude under all circumstances with the hope that some miracle will happen. Ms. Bahree, in my opinion, India has done whatever it could by extending an olive branch to the Pakistani government many a times to reduce the trust deficit, but all in vain. The main reason of this failure is the nexus of Pakistani army/ISI. Pakistani army will never forget what India did to them in 1971 with the creation of now Bangladesh. Needless to say, in that war Pakistan lost half of its nation and its military was humiliated to the extent they cann't forget. Therefore, the Pakistani army will never let the civilian government in Islamabad sign and accept any proposal with India which will go against the interest of the former. One can exchange dialogues, sign agreement and try to help reducing the trust deficit when both parties are free of any duress. In the case of India and Pakistan, the latter is under pressure from the nexus stated above and the hands of the civilian government in Islamabad are tied behind their back. Therefore, no matter how aggressively Indian government and/or private parties attempt via diplomacy and social or cultural media, one ought not to expect any miracle to happen, at least not in the near future. This is my opinion.
