Pakistan and India have so far failed to normalise relations despite various rounds of peace talks. The peace efforts have remained bogged down due to the intransigence of India to address the core issues, particularly the Kashmir dispute. Presently a step has been taken by the media to promote peace between the two countries. It shows a realisation to instil the feeling of friendliness in the people of both sides to bring the two nations closer. However, the directions in which the perceptions are being developed through extensive media drive are far from realities, no matter how much alluring these are. Therefore, a look into the actualities seems imperative. Sixty-three years ago, Pakistan emerged on the world map as an ideological state. It is since then the nation continues to draw strength from its ideological base, which actually serves as a centre of gravity for its existence. However, the enemies of Pakistan after having identified the centre of gravity are in a continuous endeavour to destabilize it. Accordingly, a deliberate effort is being made to make a dent into it by distorting beliefs particularly of youth, about the creation of Pakistan. The Pakistan idea was to have a separate Muslim state based on the Two-Nation Theory because the clear reality of differentiation between the Hindus and Muslims of the subcontinent. That was how it was unambiguously conceived by the Muslim leaders of India. The phenomenon evidently remains true even today. The decision of partition by the British government caused a deluge of Muslims who started migrating with an urge to live in a peaceful society - Pakistan. The people of Pakistan may not forget the large-scale massacre of their brethren during this transitional phase. Muslim migrants on board train after train were hacked to death. The onslaught exposed the hidden antagonism of Hindus. The pouring in of Muslims from India continued till early 50s, which was a clear proof that Muslim living in India were unhappy and dissatisfied. India continued its hegemonic designs even after the partition. The Muslims living in India comprises over 15 percent of their population but their representation in governmental jobs, the education sector or any other field is hardly proportionate to their population. Hindu-Muslim riots are a common phenomenon where large-scale massacre of Muslims is carried out periodically. In 1992-93, 872 Muslim citizens were killed only in Mumbai leaving around 2,000 injured. The incident of Gujarat in 2002 claimed 800 Muslim lives. The Hindu-Muslim riots, assorted anti-Muslim incidents and the demolition of Babri Mosque are explicit expression of Hindu intolerance. Pakistan could have sued India through the United Nations and International Court of Justice for public massacre of innocent Muslims but exercising extreme restraint with a view to keep the relations with India normalised. Nevertheless, India should have been at least asked by the world humanitarian organizations to apologise publicly for the genocide that had been committed. Besides marginalizing the Muslim minority, a continuous effort is also being made to change the ethnic composition of Muslim majority areas. Shifting of non-Muslim people in Kashmir and forcing the Kashmiri Muslims through atrocious behaviour to quit their homes is self-evident as well. Of late, the dogma of non-viability of co-existence of the two societies has become rather more pronounced. Be it a cricket or hockey match between Pakistan and India, it changes into interesting rivalry where losing or winning become virtually a matter of life and death. When it is a real war, either of 1965 or 1971 or at the Siachen glaciers, Pakistanis stand unwaveringly behind the armed forces against India. These undeniable realities reinforce the belief that the Two-Nation Theory was based on correct assessment of the situation. It remains visible at every juncture when the two countries stand face to face. India seems to be failing to maintain its basic tenet of secularism, which is also evident from the atrocities being carried out against minorities other than Muslims. The new generation of Pakistan and India definitely has a quest for peace. The political leadership seems also sincere towards resolving bilateral problems. However, the dilemma could not be solved with mere exchange of cultural delegations, inter marriages between certain individuals, visits of few celebrities and depiction of two cultures as if they share the same cultural values. Had this been true, the Muslims of India would have never preferred to abandon their homes, leave their land and property and shift in 1947 to a newly born small state struggling to find its feet? More so, there would have been no Hindu-Muslim riots in India, unrest in Kashmir and uprisings of various secessionists and freedom fighting movements in India. Therefore the answer to peace lies somewhere else. The solution lie in giving the right of self-determination to Kash-miris and the provision of justice to the worlds largest minority- the Muslims of India, without which peace in the subcontinent will remain a distant dream.
