The Hindu Lit for Life 2019 | Why can't India and Pakistan be friends

Former Pakistan diplomat and journalist Husain Haqqani on Monday said the people of India and Pakistan must realise the common threads between them and not hold America responsible for the animosity between the two neighbours in the subcontinent.
Husain Haqqani spoke in length about the India-Pakistan ties at the LFL session.

[@nomeshyadu]

Suhasini attempted to bring Punjab politics into Indo-Pak discussion, Eulogising Sidhu's Pakistan visit, but nicely trolled by Hussain Haqqani by telling Non-Punjabis to indulge in talks and saying categorically that it is an issue between two countries.

My late father was an Army officer in Pakistan Army, he had two best Hindu friends Mr. Rajal Das who was a civil Judge and Mr. P Amar Das who was a barrister in Hyderabad Sindh Pakistan in the 1980s. They with their families used to visit us and we used to visit them. We only lost contact after my parent's death. I know most of their relatives moved to India. Uncle Amar's sons still in Hyderabad and are doctors. I must admit that commonly minorities are not treated very well but it is not all bleak, many minority people are living very good lives in Pakistan. There are Army officers, Police officers, doctors, barristers, judges. It is mostly in remote villages where there are Landlords who treat all their haris (people working on their lands) bad, irrespective of their religion. Muslim workers get the same treatment as Hindus. However, Hindus do have a choice to move to India but Muslims keep suffering at the hands of their Muslim 'brethern' landlord. It is a shame that the Government does nothing about it, as these landlords are very powerful in Government.

Its a country on the downhill which will implode anytime and therefore we just need to make sure the harms from across the border doesn't impact us and our country.

I respect haqqani and agree to most of his views, but won't agree that Indian subcontinent is least integrated. India-Nepal-Bhutan are perfectly integrated with practically open Borders and easy flow of trade and people. With certain restrictions we can consider Bangladesh in this list as well. Only problem is with Pakistan and China. As for India is concerned, till this year Pakistan was declared the most favourable nation by India in terms of Trade. In spite of Bullying attitude of China, India has opened up its market for China. Ironically, the same day when China Blocked move in UN against Indian interest, the very same day Indians purchased Chinese phones en masse (13 th March 2019 was Xiaomi Redmi note 7 Pro sale on Flipkart; and the same day China blocked anti terror move in UN). How much more the world expects from India. Saying India has equal share of the blame for hostile Indo-Pak relations is just an attempt to have a balancing talk; without substance. India is practically blame-free in the Indo-Pak Hostility. And India has done a lot, especially considering it is a developing economy, for the economical integration of South-East Asia.

Mr. Haqqani is of the colonist mentality of the British. Rather than creating industry and universities for the poor to rise above poverty he looks at the west for blessings in shape of Loans and Aids. A large portion of which always end up in offshore accounts of such people as himself. He is only interested in selling his book of ideologies that pleases the politicians of UK and USA and India. He has no love for the people of Pakistan. Pakistan's poor are pious hard working population that never gets an opportunity to break the poverty line because of people like Mr. Haqqani, Mr. Zardari and Mr. Shareef. Imran Khan so far is the only leader who has rebuffed the idea of loans from IMF and has target elimination of Poverty thrugh massive investment for the poor as his prime target. The West is against this idea of Imran Khan because they wish for Pakistan to eventually be like Bangla Desh ... subservient to India. I have no value for what Mr. Haqqani has to say.

Suhasini, This being a litfest,I expected an assessment of literature and if the writers touched the souls within the given socio-political and cultural context. After all,what exactly literature finally is aimed at. I believe a cultural change and change in perception of human societies ,a sense of living together and an idea of fellow-feeling. Political realities often are too pragmatic,involving too much ego,false pride,winning and losing, businesslike exchange,lies rather than truth, hardening or softening of stance without really changing. This is where literature,I suppose,would have a role and an aim to change from within by appealing to the souls.

All the historical reasoning is not important, as it has lost its rationality. India is becoming more mature and economically strong, as well strong with its militarily, its response is going to be more likely to be harsh.

This partition nonsense is basically a Punjabi issue now. India has moved on from 1947, but Pakistan is stuck with it because their youth have been created to evolve into parasites on anything Indian or Hindu, otherwise the country will collapse. Instead of trying to convince Indians of anything, it will serve well for Mr Haqqani to try and reform the Pakistani mind. Indians are somewhat well-integrated with Nepal and Bhutan and to some extent even South-east Asia, but Pakistanis are hardly integrated within themselves, let alone India. Non-Punjabi culturea are not that affected, nor do they care much about partition or Indus valley regions. The Hindi belt, all the Southern states, Orissa, none of them care at all. The North-eastern states, whose sea access was blocked due to partition, hate Bangladeshi Muslims. So all this is essentially a waste of time. If Punjabis don't care, nobody else does.

Haqqani generally speaks logically, but not here. He says we cant keep discussing why a joint family member moved out. Well, Pak is NOT a "joint family member", since it never existed, it was created by cutting the parents body, same goes for Bangladesh. Wait and you will see other creations of Khyber, Sindh and Gilgit cutting themselves out of the body. The only "joint family member" in the right sense is Balochistan that was a separate entity that existed before the word Pakistan was even known. You will see this "joint family member" moving out, then you should practice what you preach and dont discuss why a joint family member moved out. Indians for 70 years have stayed silent on our massacre by Pakistan, not anymore. Always a time comes when victims have had enough and then they rise to protect themselves and attack the attackers. This is why today you will hear Indians saying why can't Pak mind its own business and stay within its territory. If it keeps entering India and murdering us for 7 decades, then the obvious question will be - why can't Pak stop existing. Surprised at your biased views. You ignore mentioning Gazva-e-Hind, bleed India with a 1000 cuts foreign policy towards India. Seems like you werent always objective and it was a sham that is now melting away.

India also never existed as a formal state with proper boundaries before the Britishers occupied it and turned it colonial British-India.

[@nasser-ist]

​@@deepasinghal4729 I am neither a millennial nor educated in Pakistan, so let's get those of your assumptions out of the way. I know you Indians get irked when presented with facts. First of all the ancient Greeks used the word "Hindu" or "Indu" which was derived from the word "Sindhu", a local name for river Indus. Anyone living beyond river Indus, meaning east of it was referred to as "Hindu". Before that your religion and region didn't even have a formal name, so let us get that fact out of the way too. Greeks invented a vocabulary for your statue worshiping cult and started calling you Hindus. Historically foreign invaders have been defining "India" as they saw fit, ending with the Britishers. Megasthenes, yet another foreigner (Greek) historian who described the land from east of Indus and just the northern parts of what is known as India today as "Indica". His chronicles and accounts in the form of a book have long been lost, so a lot of it is left to concocted and convenient imagination of the contemporary historians. Dionysus, another foreigner (Greek), invaded east of Indus and ruled it for half a century, taught the locals the art of farming and worshiping and built cities, hence introducing civilization to the subcontinent east of the Indus River what is know as "India" today. Same goes for the Turkic and Central Asian Mongol Muslim invaders and occupiers whom you refer to as "Mughals" and proudly display their Islamic architecture like Taj Mahal and many others as the jewels of Indian tourism and your identity. Most of what the Indians take pride in is all imported anyway. And yes, Afghanistan was the buffer between British-Indian Empire and the Russian Empire, and the regions that belong to Pakistan were what the Britishers referred to as "frontiers" of their British-India and was only administered by the political agents representing the British-Indian colony with the exception of Punjab. There is a reason why Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was till recently called the North West Frontier Province and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) had political agents, again which recently merged with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Lots of empires have come and gone and have transformed the subcontinent region, but never there was a state called "India" historically speaking and with defined boundaries. The last empire that occupied the region drew boundaries to administer its areas and frontiers and that was what you Indians started to lay territorial claim on after they left. Yet another imported influence that you still suffer from. So please do not teach others history or assume things.

Even after hundred years , it will never solve...if people are not educated enough...I understand still in Pakistan there is 40% who is not going to school....Even in India there are lot of people who need to be educated.... because we need know what are real issues..they are important not to get influence because someone else tells has to get influenced....

[@soul_stripper8294]

Well even with education Pakistan will have the same stance because their history books teach them to hate hindus, they hate india not because we are india but because hindus live here.

Hussein Haqqani - you were talking over Suhasini... let her speak. Get a grip, dude. PS: This was a "long" time ago - but it still is rather supercilious at best and arrogant at worst.

[@Asad-kl9vp]

[@santsaransingh8708]

This man is not supported by Pakistani people. We can't take his comment as if Pakistani is speaking. His line is what Pakistani hate. So don't be overwhelmed by his thoughts.

[@joyofzoy]

Sir We feel your pain as a pakistani national how a negative ideology from pakistani side make two nation in permanent conflict. But as a residence of a Democratie country suhasini (so Called liberal) not supposed to feel your point of view.

[@rakeshsaha7261]

Bekar ki discussion as the facts remain same , even he cant do anything as He served for Pakistan's agenda of antiIndia , so his point of view is totally vague and I think audience should have asked him , will pakistan go for sending the terrorists like massod azhar and hafiz sayed to us or not ? and if not then the whole discussion has no value .

[@umar7182]

He didnt severd for pakistani agenda of ANT INDIA. He was a ambassador to US during the tenure of zaradari. This guy challenged the rogue terrorist loving Pakistan military establishment. Google Memo gate and you will know
