Like every thing, the Peace and War have also their own stake holders. Although they are less effective despite their enormous strength of empowering the rulers, the masses should be categorized as stake holders in peace.
Both the civil and military establishments of Pakistan and India have sustained the status quo with the help of elements brainwashed to the extent that they don’t stop on less than the dismemberments, division and destruction of their neighbor countries. These elements exist on both sides of border. They “create” the maps of their “enemy countries” which show the “enemy” country divided into so many countries.
Any positive gesture from the leadership of one country receives warm reaction from the other but all at suddenly we witness that an incident, I directly blame the establishment of both countries for orchestrating it, evaporate the feelings of goodwill which falls as fire on both countries.
The need of the time is to reassess our enemies and if done this job sincerely I am sure the poverty will occupy the top in the list followed by unemployment, price hike, lack of education and basic health facilities.
I strongly agree that the aims of Indian leadership being guided [read it misguided] by the military and civil establishment of Dehli has always been cynical and thus it is less sincere in what we describe as the composite dialogues including talks over the issues ranging from Kashmir to Water dispute, but there arises some questions which should be asked from the leadership of Pakistan and India. Will the war benefit the masses of these so-called welfare states? Will the bomb feed the masses of their countries? Can they win over each others? Shouldn’t the budget spent on buy weapon for killing others be spent on buying machines for saving their own masses?
This is what the stake holders in war think. But what the stake holders in Peace think? Thanks to the ruling class, masses are misguided and divided on the issue of relationship of both neighboring countries. But there are forces that “Aspire for peace”. They intend to show the masses their real problems. There is difference between Welfare and Warfare. Two most powerful media groups of Pakistan and India, the Jang Group and The Times of India are aspiring for Peace which will result in welfare of common man. This Indian doctor is healing the wounds of his Pakistani neighbors. The aspirant for peace can heal the wounds caused by the military establishment of both countries of their respective countries. All is not well on state level but something is well on some level. Let’s overcome state level by some level. Criticize Thakre but please don’t hesitate in admiring this Indian doctor to whom “the patient is patient and not Pakistani or Indian”.
