India Pakistan Negotiation is best in the interest of Pakistan

Should Pakistan let go of the past grievances and join hands with India or does India still pose a threat to Pakistan’s peace? The stated question is big issue since Pakistan separated from India and it has still to be resolved by both the countries.On one extreme lies those Pakistani people who think that negotiation is in best interest of both the countries.They think that it would help both the countries regarding their peace and development.Other group of extremist think that negotiation is not in the best interest of Pakistan because India can never be a friend of Pakistan.They link all these things to the past experiences where India so many times tried to let down Pakistan. People in Pakistan vacillate between the extreme ends and therefore the prospect of negotiating with India has been a controversial debate in Pakistan. Since the partition of British India in 1947 India and Pakistan have been involved in three major wars, including one undeclared war, as well as many border skirmishes and military stand-offs and there are the soaring chances of a fourth clash over issue of Kashmir between the two countries in the year future. Even though a mass audience believes negotiation to be the optimum solution for progress between India and Pakistan because of its prospects for bringing further globalization and trade and allowing both the countries to bring in development projects by spending less on defense ,however, India’s role in the unresolved Kashmir conflict, turning East Pakistan into Bangladesh, violating Indus Water treaty and its unjustified blame on Pakistan for terrorist attacks and offering protection to Dawood Ibrahi...

...vernment, Kisan Ittehad regretted that there is already unequal distribution of water in both countries and the construction of new dams by India on the rivers in Pakistan’s share has further enhanced the existing scarcity of water that further compounds the disadvantage for Pakistani farmers and hampers the future of agricultural sector, thus, causing decrease in the agriculture production in Pakistan. Since Pakistan substantially relies on its agriculture sector for income, trade with India could negatively affect this income as the demand for Indian imports would increase leaving Pakistan in an undesirable economic state. Hence both sides of the coin should be considered before negotiating with India since doing so could make Pakistan worse off in terms of trade which accounts for a substantial part of income and is vital for the development of Pakistan.

  • Cheap Talk Mediation And Diplomacy

    2159 Words  | 5 Pages

    The concept of “cheap talk” focuses on the analysis of how much information can dependably be forwarded when the communication is direct and costless. Biased experts tend to share noisy information with the decision makers. One way in which the decision makers can enhance the exchange of information is to extend communication. Additionally, he or she must try to seek advice from additional experts. Ultimately, writing contracts with the expert can further increase the credibility of the informational transmission. Theoretically, cheap talk is costless and therefore is not expected to have a major impact on the outcomes of interstate communication. As opposed to the cheap talk model, standard “costly signalling” is predicted to provoke a more fluid transmission of information between two actors in the international system. It is precisely the cost of signalling what gives validity to the information provided. As suggested by Farrell and Rabin, authors of previous literature on cheap talk are divided in opinion. Some scholars argue that cheap talk is rather useless, while others believe that it it is helpful in interstate communication and can actually improve the advantages of both sides. While examining the literature on cheap talk, it is important to highlight additional tools of international communication, such as diplomacy and mediation. The analysis of these issues provides a close insight into the credibility of arguments regarding cheap talk. Several historical cases serve as examples of costly signalling and its outcomes, one of the most recent ones being NATO's show of strength prior to the...

  • Strengths And Limitations Of Negotiation

    886 Words  | 2 Pages

    In understanding the way that people negotiate, I believe that men and women negotiate differently. After the Mark Trask negotiation during class, I noticed that women draw on more examples or comparisons when negotiating. The reason for comparisons or examples might be that women feel as though their counterpart might be more likely to understand a position or opinion if they hear something that is relatable to them. On the other hand, men might be more likely to not engage in this technique because they see that sticking to the relevant information and not elaborating will get them to an agreement quicker.

  • Conflict between Hindus and Muslims

    1310 Words  | 3 Pages

    The most threatening conflict between Hindus and Muslims is the province of Kashmir. This is where the decision to divide India into India and Pakistan seems to have been a terrible mistake. Kashmir, which is the only Muslim majority city in India, lies between the divided India and Pakistan. After India’s independence in the 1940’s, Kashmir had to choose to either unite with India or Pakistan. The Prince of Kashmir chose India but Pakistan invaded the province soon after and have occupied part of Kashmir since then. Controversy still surrounds the province today because naturally, Muslims want to control it. While many Muslims relocated to Pakistan and the Hindus to India, half of the Muslim population was left in India and their relations did not improve after being partially separated.

  • The Cold War and Decolonization

    During the Cold War, many regional conflicts occurred and were noted as the significant battles which later led to decolonization. One of the regional conflicts were India and Pakistan fighting for their independence. In 1947, India was released under Great Britain’s control and gained its independence. However, the country was divided between Muslims and Hindus, which share different religions. Muslims wanted church and state to become unified while Hindus wanted a separation of these two establishments. Since these two ethnic groups disagreed, it was difficult to create a new government. Therefore, India was divided into two nations: India for the Hindus and Pakistan for the Muslims. Hindus and Muslims were racing to the border in order to get to their nation state which led to killing 500,000 people due to rioting. Although, Mohandas Gandhi, an Indian National Congressman, wanted to obtain peace between these two religions. Pakistan refused the H...

  • Analysis Of Partition: The Day India Burned

    872 Words  | 2 Pages

    Lawrence Auster wrote an eye-opening blog excerpt titled India and Pakistan: Why the Mass Killing Occurred. The content of this excerpt explore the fundamental issues of identity and religion that led to the violence in 1947. The author makes his point by utilizing current event such as the train massacre in 2002, in which 50 Hindu women and children were burned alive. The blog is for an audience with some prior knowledge on the topic and continues to expand upon that knowledge. The blog is a secondary source because it introduces its own unique ideas regarding the issue and was written after the time of the event. It was very helpful to my research because it simplifies the wordy information often found on scholarly sites and condenses it into something comprehensible and relatable to the reader.
