Your views:It all depends upon the attitude of Pakistan.
General Parvez Musharraf will have to stop gun battle
by killing innocent civilians. If he can able to
to do it then a history can be made.

Your views:It won't be easy for both countries to break away from the past. The summit may thaw the relations, but won't yield high results. This is just a PR exercise to appease the international community. Pak will be happy to get more IMF loans. India will be happy to see its name in UN Security Council.
That's all this summit will achieve.

Your views:I think the talks will fail, because the bone of contention is Kashmir. India will not part with an inch of it and Pakistan will demand it's pound of flesh, asking for plebiscite from the public of Kashmir.

Your views:There will be no breakthrough in the talks between ABV and PM. As long as India maintains that Kashmir is an integral part of India, there are no chances of any solution. The only solution is to give up the path of peace and take up the path that Israel uses. Just bomb the terrorist camps across the border and make them scamper and put a scare in their hearts. There is no political solution to this problem. This is just a "Last Man Standing" problem.

Your views:Sorry for being pessimistic. But, peace is a distant dream now. It will take an entire generation to evolve before we see peace. So, the peace is at least 10-15 years away.

Your views:Musharaff and Vajpayee will really create History and better trust if they are able to convert poverty to prosperity by action and not mere words.
India is a very big market for Pakistan and additional market base (if not as huge)
will be created for Indian products as well.
The poor carpenter whose labour is exploited by the Pakistani exporter at below minimum wages will now be able to do direct marketing because he speaks the language and with the progress of time and with this IT revolution the scales of justice and fair play are bound to tilt with the next generations stepping in.
This is a move in the right direction and terrorism cannot be controlled in Pakistan without the help of India. Pakistan created a monster that is beyond their control. Pak and India have to jointly contain the terrorists and the Afghanis.
Musharraf must be allowed to address a high level business forum. There is no harm in this. Let's be broad minded and big hearted. Pakistan can make no progress without the help of India in any sector.
A prodigal son treatment for Musharraf is in perfect order provided he is sincere.

Your views:i think the result of this coming summit between India n Pak will not generate anything. none of them is going to loose their claim on Kashmir and i think it's just making fool of ppl n whole world. it's sure that after the talk they will only find themselves at that stage where they were on the beginning of this Kashmir problem.

Your views:I thk there can't be enough
breakthrough in talks since
there difference in perception of the Kashmir
problem of the parties involved. Pakistan claims
itself a protector of Islam.
I thk Kashmir is our internal matter. It is our
problem. Pakistan is only interested is Kashmir is Muslim dominated region and
He think he is a natural
partner to the talk.
Why don't Pakistan care abt
it's on internal problems like terrorism, education,
health etc.

problem is abolition of

suppressing cross-border
terrorism by striking at the
hatching grounds of vipers

it gives him time to plan

Your views:Relations between India and Pakistan have always been tense. Peace summits have been held from time to time but have ended in a failure. I feel this is because both sides have not been ready to compromise. They have entered the peace talks with the attitude that what they think is right and what they demand should be accepted by the other side. If this time the two sides will enter the summit with a more positive attitude and a spirit of compromise ie to accept LoC as an international border, only then we can hope for success in this coming summit.

Your views:Extremists in Kashmir derive their inspiration from Islam. Therefore it is unlikely that they will let Pakistan accept anything less than merger of Kashmir with Pakistan. The summit is being held under the influence of USA and it will achieve little concrete since both the leaders are incapable of conceding an inch of what is already held by each country. Nor is independence for the whole of Kashmir on the agenda. Kashmir is destined to remain an unsolved issue for the present.

Your views:This time it is certainly going to be different due to some factors working in favour of peace process. These are as below:
a. US is playing an important role in the background. They are feared by rise of Islamic fundamentalism in the region and with Taliban at its best they want to play Islamabad down to establish some kind of balance.
2. Musharraf is not a political leader and would not look for his political ambitions in the same manner as the prime ministers of Pak in the past have been doing. He may succumb to US pressure.
3. India has been working on its foreign policy for sometime and we hope to see Atal and his mandarins more prudent in handling the issue.

Your views:Pakistan has never had leaders who could give stable govt. either through democracy or throgh military. Each leader tries to do something to gain popularity at home and never succeeded. so I don't think, the coming summit will bear fruit anyway.

Your views:This summit will not yield anything at all. It is a two-day holiday for Mr.Musharaf to visit India.
Neither India will compromise on Indian Kashmir, nor Pakistan will compromise on POK to India. Any change on this reality will result into a bloody war.
Hence, the stalemate would continue. The only solution would be to accept the present LOC as an international border.

Your views:WITH BOTH PARTIES EXPECTING SOMETHING BEYOND THE POSSIBILITY, I HAVE MY RESERVATIONS TO BELIEVE THAT MUSHARRAF/VAJPAYEE ESQ. WILL BE ABLE TO PAST THEIR POLITICAL GOALS.
THOUGH VAJPAYEE HAS DONE WELL IN INVITING MUSHARRAF, KNOWING THAT
1. HE IS LOOKING TO HAVE A KIND OF RECOGNITION IN THE WORLD FORUMS
2. AND BEING AN ARMYMAN, DOES NOT HAVE TO ACHIEVE POLITICAL MILEAGE.
BUT IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT KARGIL MAESTRO WILL BE FLEXIBLE ENOUGH TO CREATE THE HISTORY.

Your views:Definitely NOT.
Pakistan wants to buy some time to build its economy so that it can continue "BLEED INDIA" policy. It will say lay pipes, but for what? 600 Million$ every year, initail ground value and so on...it will get loans from IMF, WB showing the summit... like the chinese who are building the economy to show their strength in near future...
In my view and for good for India
First India should ask pakistan to vacate POK for sum of money, drop its claim for JK and stop border terrorism. If they didn't accept, start the border firing...pakistan will respond with twice for a single bullet, keep the core army unit in the border in alert and keep pakistan to spend...spend on their defence and make them to feel dire need of money...make them to reduce their defence outlay...reduce their preparedness..send the army for hot pursuits(Pakistan cannot repeat the same)...make them weak like the afganistanis... then we have to cross the border and take the POK and smash the terrorist camps...it will take just couple of years for this to be happen in pakistan if the current state continues... but will our(Indian) govt had the guts to do that... r they will keep talk on peace. So far our Indian politicians havent shown the guts like our soldiers in taking harsh decisions even when it comes to national defence(eg 1948,1962 and the worst 1971 and the recent 1998 KARGIL). So far we have shown the world our soft side.. Lets us show the other side to world, and make them particulary Pakistanis how hard for them to face.
JAI INDIA!

Your views:It's foolishness to think that there is any change in the ideas of pakistan and it's rulers. Pakistan has time and again reiterated that their jihad would not stop even if kashmir was in their hands.
Indian govt should take all the measures so as not to fall in the trap again and use this oppertunity to gain some territory
And it should not yield to some foolish thoughts like changing the LOC as the boarder.

Your views: The existence of theocratic Islamic republic of Pakistan ( the land which was snatched away from INDIA , Illegally and immorally by blackmail based on religion ), where all nonmoslems are enslaved and cleansed out by using all discriminatory policies and inhuman islamic laws,
is a blot on human conscience .
It is time that Islamic Pakistan is defanged and build into a modern,secular,democratic, pluralistic open society and country like INDIA.
But , first pakistan as the fountainhead of Islamic totalitarian theology must be canned and folded.
Pakistan must forget about Jammu and kashmere in total . Since time immemrial kashmere was/is part and parcel of INDIA geographically,culturally,historically, legally and ethically.
There were no moslems in kashmere before the invasion by moslem rulers and forced conversions to Islam .
Every inch of kashmere - the names, the streams, the mountains , the land are imbued and steeped in Hindu ethos.
Islamic imperialism has to be beaten back and made to recede to Saudi Arabia.
All the Billion people of INDIA must act in Unison to slay the Islamic satan.

Your views:Indo-Pak Summit 2001
The approach is good. This matter is pending since independence and how this could be solved overnight.We should have a give and take policy and the submit should be with an mind. I have a feeling that PM should take into confidence all opposition parties and obtain their views. Unless we have a common stand there is no sense in this Summit.
Super Powers would never like a solution for Kashmir Issue. India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Nepal,Afghanistan and some other Countries are not progressing at all on account of silly internal problems and different views of Political Parties. If India and Pakistan come togther, it would good to both the Countries. In both India and Pakistan corruption is at the peak. Some of Far East Countries should also be taken into confidence before the dialogue starts. In one meeting other than exchanging pleasantaries nothing is going to happen.Many Summit took place and after every Summit the enemity between the two Countries has increased. How many human lives have been lost. How much amount Indian Government had spent on Kashmir. After the summit meeting was announced, some of the Ministers have started commenting Kashmir is an Integral Part of India. There may be no doubt. Why unnecessarily the Ministers are making sch statements. They should keep their mouth shut.

Your views:Hi, Having invited he 'butcher of Kargil' on his 'anytime, anywhere' offer we should make sure that he is put in a tight spot. The government and media should be doing the following.
1. Actively take up the issue of POK and pressurize Pak for a deadline for its return to India.
2. Raise the issue of Pak sponsored terrorism in India. Make it in clear and understandable terms to Pak that only God alone can save his country if they do not put an end to this at the earliest.
3.The media should remind him that he is a 'traitor' having forgotten his birth place and thinking evil of his homeland ( he was born in Delhi, wasn't he? ).
4. The media should highlight the extreme poverty, sufferings, communal unrest in Pak and make strong suggestions that Pak concentrate on life for Pakis better.
4. If given an opportunity, the media men should ask pin pointed question on Musharraf's role in Kargil.

Your views:Well as far as peace from Pakistan's point of view is concerned...its like calling "Weapons For Peace".
Pakistan has done nothing since its birth, but fighting.Earlier for Pakistan as a separate nation, then they had trouble with Indian muslims who migrated to Pakistan,and above all they always had trouble with their leaders.So Pakistan is one state which likes to hide its failure in economic front, education front, and everything possibly good on this earth.
Last time Mr.A.B.Vajpayee visited Pakistan by Bus and we had a Kargil and now we have Mr. General visiting India. What should we expect Nuclear War? Lets pray for the best!

Your views:It is hardly of any use to hold such talks. Kashmir is virtually an unsolvable issue with both the sides unwilling to take the risk of compromise on any grounds. India will not agree on giving even a single inch of land of Kashmir and Pakistan will not rest till it has taken it. further there is no guarantee that Pak will stop the Proxy war even if say the Kashmir issue is resolved. It seems that history is once again doomed to repeat itself.

Your views:I am an academician, studying the field of International Relations. I am absolutely fed up of the lethargic attitude of the world, towards matters like the Palestine issue and the Kashmir issue. Every month dozens of people are dying, suffering, crying out for their lives, yet no one is particularly concerned! Their helpless families are being thrown into endless grief. Why don't the Big Brothers in international diplomacy suggest a viable solution: that both of these places be handed over to the United Nations for a brief historical period of 10 years! What is 10 years, after all? It is a small enough period for everyone to accept without much ado. And it is a long enough period for a land's deep wounds to heal to a reasonable degree! After the pain recedes a little, everyone will be in a much better position to sit down and talk, think, act, in a sensible and cool manner! Surely we owe it to the souls of all those who have suffered and died in these places, to suggest this sensible way out? Aren't we citizens of the same world? Aren't we children of the same God? -- Dr S.A.A.

Are we not sure of it? It shows our lack of self confidence. We should never raise that issue of integral part in future. With this back ground we should talk to pakistani leader, then only it can bring positive result. Pakistan must produce some evidence that it has been selected by Pak occupied Kashmiris to speak on their behalf. What if outcome is favorable to Pakistan but not welcomed by Pak occupied Kashmiris?

THE SOUGHT OUT SOLUTIONS FOR KASHMIR - INDEPENDENCE, UNITE WITH PAKISTAN OR REMAIN WITH INDIA - SHOULD BE IMPOSED ON THIS PART OF LAND. AND FOR THE PEOPLE RESIDING IN INDIAN PART OF KASHMIR, IF THEY WISH TO BE INDEPENDENT OR WITH PAKISTAN, LET THEM LIVE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BORDER.

Your views:The Chief of Army of the mighty military power of Pakistan as the Head of the state is participating in the scheduled summit with the Head of a democratic Govt. of India. If both the parties having realised that peace is very essential to the subcontinent, they will find a solution to the J&K problem by agreeing to convert the LoC as the border between the countries and continue the same spirit in containing the extremism with strong will. This only will bring real peace and people of both countries will live with peace and harmony.

Your views: India lost much of it's land mass to the outside invaders.
The present day AFGHANISTAN , PAKISTAN and BANGLADESH used to be integral parts of INDIA.
All this changed because of invasions and forceble conversions by moslems and conquests and ultimate desctruction of Hindu civilization and culture.
Moslems stole lot of fertile land by blackmail based on religion.
INDIA can no more be generous.
INDIA has to take care of 1 Billion people. INDIA is densely populated.
All of KASHMERE must be integral part of INDIA.
PAKISTAN must relinquish the occupied part of Kashmere and give it back to INDIA , where it rightfully belongs.
There were no Moslems in kashmere before Moslems invaded and forcebly converted innocent people to Islam and then ethnically cleansed Hindus out of kashmere.
The existence of pakistan is a blot on human conscience .
INDIA is noble land built on the noble ethos and humanistic principles of Hindu religion.

Your views:I don't expect much right away after the coming 'Agra summit'. No doubt, it's a very bold and positive step taken by our dear Atalji.
I wish someone can carry my only message to Atalji....
Someone really needs to remind Atalji that, Pervez Musharraf is the man who had refused to salute Atalji, during his Lahore-Bus-Yatra. He is the man who, at that time, had complete idea of the Kargil conflict that followed.
It's one thing to consider your neighbor as your friend/brother. But it's totally a different thing to consider 'Pakistan' as your friend/brother.
So I would really *hate* to see Vajpayeeji hugging Musharraf.
Let the meet be on a very professional level. No need to add any personal touch to the meet with a 'known hostile' state's leader.
A shake-hand in front of camera with Musharraf is quite acceptable and practical. But that's it... nothing more than that. No hugging, no patting backs!
I really think, whether our military chiefs should salute this guest!...
Does anybody else agree to my views? Please try to get this message across to the PM's office.
Thanks.
