Peace will help in reforming relations with neighbouring countries. Agree?

I think we have already been doing it since 1947.It is high time to take some stern step with the mediation of influential country like USA.

I don't think people-to-people contact can be of any great help.It can at best generate some goodwill and put pressure on the respective governments to get their acts together!

I agree with it.It is the way by which we got our freedom.Peace will help in reforming relations with neighbouring countries.

What is important to bear in mind is that the goal of peace can only be achieved when all our neighboring countries genuinely want peace!

Yes, I agree that peace and understanding will surely help in improving relations with neighbouring countries but there are certain situations when it is very hard to maintain peace when the neighbours are looking for bloodshed and violence...

Tolerating injustice is cowardliness. They have always this thing in mind that they will continue killing our indians and yet our political system is so weak that they can never lay hands on them.

There is an insightful observation by Mukesh. I also believe had India and Pakistan not been so heavily influneced by USA and other countries in shaping their relationship we could have a completely different scenario today!

Very true! and yet our government insists on maintaining a friendly relationship with China when they are openly encroaching upon the North-East territory of India by building four-lane roads, bridges, and even Medical, Engineering and Architectural colleges and offering hefty discounts for Indian students from Arunachal Pradesh. This kind of gesture cannot be considered as a friendly move.

I think India can and should take a leaf out of USA's book in dealing with China. A few days China warned USA not to entertain Dalai Lama and even went as far asking Prez Obama not to meet him and USA just ignored it with aplomb and Obama actually met Dalai Lama!!

I doubt whether our country leaders can ever show such guts! After all, its been a long time since China has been encroaching upon our lands. Now they are openly canvassing among young students of Arunachal that they are originally of Chinese descent living on Chinese land wrongfully taken by India. :angry:

I simply can not understand this show of spinelessness on the part of Indian leadership!! China only understands the language of the strong even a small neighbour like Vietnam taught it a good lesson!

If such a tiny country like Vietnam can do it, why can't we? furthermore, Vietnam has always been economically quite far behind India and yet they could do this!
Take example of even Israel, a fairly new and tiny country, born out of unimaginable nightmare, yet others have to think twice before they can carry out any assault on it!

The problem with our country is that there is absolutely no willpower to fight injustice!

This is absolutely correct! I remember my eleder telling us that India almost succeeded in scoring a decisive victory in 1965 war against Pakistan When late L.B.Shastry was Prime Minister and could have used that opportunity to resolve the Kashmiri issue and here again we looked for orders from our then master Russia (USSR) and threw away that opportunity! Now we look to the USA for orders!!

That's is true! 1965 war was supposed to be the decisive war and could have turned the events of the post-independence Indian history. Again, why did Late L.B.Shastry who was supposed to be the most pragmatist leader, compromised and gave away the territory now called POK is a mystery! Probably the roots lie somewhere in the fact that he died shortly afterwards in Tashkent and there were allegations of poisoning. It seems like there was a major conspiracy at play probably to prevent him from resolving the issue of Kashmir forever. It does make sense after all since if this issue resolved, there would be a major impact on the Russian weapons manufacturers! Not to mention other factors involved in it.

It's true that late Shastriji was a courageous person but still the Nehru brigade in the Congress Party had a vice-like grip!!!

yeah if we try to settle down meetings to discuss about the peace with neighborhood countries . this will help in reducing the pressure of wars.

Wishful thinking that most of us want! But can never happen as the arms and ammunition industry will die out which would be disastrous for many as this industry brings spending money to many nations!

As some wags put it we need fears of wars to keep peace!

Yes, it can help but it should be from both the countries, if it is one way it can't help

yeah peace is help full in setting relations calm between nations.
