India's sudden change of heart

What positive step Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has seen that Pakistan is going to take against terror outfits based on its soil and involved in anti-India activities that his government has proposed Foreign Secretary-level talks with it.The factor behind sudden change of heart on the part of India in regard to Pakistan that it has proposed for Foreign Secretary-level talks with can be explained only by Prime Minister Dr. Singh.Either he is showing his diplomatic skill or flip-flopping on foreign affairs. If past experience of India's initiatives towards normalisation of relation with Pakistan is anything to go by, all fresh beginning has prove to be a failure. Because Pakistan has nevered delivered on the promises. India had suspended all talks after the 9/11 Mumbai attack. India’s proposal for talks with Pakistan has surprised many in the country because Pakistan has not done anything commendable by reining in terrorists operating from there against India. Pakistan Prime Minister Gilani already stated few days back that he would not take guarantee that there would be no repeat of 9/11 Mumbai type attack in India in future. Despite reapeted dossiers sent by India to Pakistan to act against Mumbai master mind Jama-Ud-Dawa boss Hafiz Sayeed and other accused, the later has always shown indifference. The Mumbai master mind is in its safe haven . Is any outside pressure on India is behind its change of heart that it has proposed talks with Pakistan? Though Pakistan has welcomed the move, it wants composite dialogue. Restarting of talks with India will ease international pressue on Pakistan to act against terror. Pakistan wants to talk to India on Kashmir and water sharing issue. Though India has already proposed for talks, it is certain that Pakistan will never act against anti-India terror outfits like LeT and Jaish based on its soil and operating from there. Terror has been an instrument of Pak's state policy against India. As the US is its mentor since its birth, it is acting against Pak Taliban and terrorists in south Waziristan along Afghan border under pressure, it is futile to expect from it to act against the forces enimical to India. India centric terror outfits in Pakistan have also the full backing of Pakistan military and its notorius Inter Services Intelligence ISI. The main purpose of holding talks is to sort out the problem for which they are to be held. But Pakistan has never delivered the promise of reining in terror outfits operating against India from its soil. It is also a fact that after both India and Pakistan becoming nuclear states, war between the two countries is out of question and only the option of talks is left with them. But the pressure of international community mounted on Pakistan after India suspended talks with it in the aftermath of 9/11 Mumbai attack would automatically relax. India is also very close to the US and so is Pakistan. US always wants that talks between the two neighbours must start and keep going. But unfortunate thing is that the US does not pressurise Pakistan to dismantle terror structure on its soil, which continuously acts against India. So it is for the Manmohan Singh-led UPA government to explain the reason behind its sudden change of heart towards Pakistan. Sponsorship of terror by Pakistan against India is the only bone of contention between the two neighbours.
