Since Pakistan will not change its
attitude it is time we also thought of
different approaches. So far, gestures
have been interpreted to mean
appeasement by the Pakistan deep
state and a vindication of their
confrontationist policy. Pakistan's DNA
will not allow a change of policy, only
a change of tactics. It will retain its
terror option under a nuclear umbrella
that today consists of 200 nuclear
weapons all aimed at India and based
on a close military and nuclear
relationship with China.
Our policy towards Pakistan has been
based on three misconceptions. One,
the assumption that the civilian
politicians favour a normal
relationship with India but it is the
army alone that is the impediment.
Facts speak otherwise. It was then
prime minister Zulfiqar Bhutto who
said that Pakistan would make the
Islamic bomb even if Pakistanis had to
eat grass. It was Zulfiqar who dabbled
with assisting the Islamic Afghans who
had taken shelter in Pakistan having
been pushed out by the Mohammad
Daud Khan regime from Afghanistan.
It was his daughter, Benazir, who
launched the Kashmir jihad and later
propped up the Taliban. It was Nawaz
Sharif who supported both the Taliban
and anti-India groups, most of them
fostered in Punjab, his stronghold.
Mumbai 1993 and later Kargil
happened during Sharif's terms in
office. Likewise, the Mumbai attacks of
November 2008 happened during Asif
Ali Zardari's presidency. There would
be no significant change in the threats
faced by us from Pakistan regardless
of whether there was a dictator in
command or an ostensibly civilian rule
