The New Nation - Internet Edition

India is gradually and painfully realizing that Obama's threat of first solving Kashmir problem before India is allowed to say any thing against Pakistan is not a mere rhetoric but an assertion of "Root cause of terrorism" doctrine and India will have to gird itself up for this challenge.

But India can not face this challenge by merely trying either to shelve or to solve Kashmir problem.India will have to endeavor to also contribute as a member of world community (especially in this age of globalization) to solve chronic Israel / Palestine problem which has gravely effected the entire world and also the neighbor hood of India including Afghanistan, Iraq war (with its implications also in Kashmir problem and terrorism in India).

For this India may do the following:-

(1)- As for Kashmir solution is concerned, India may best leave it to the political acumen of Obama to solve this problem.

(2)- As for Israel / Palestine problem is concerned:-

(i)- Being a secular country India should ask the world and especially Christian world and USA / UK and its allies (who have unnecessarily created this conflict by assuming that the followers of two religion can not live peacefully in one county) that if Hindus and Muslims are expected to live together peacefully and cordially in India then why Jews and Muslims can not live together in one country.

(ii)- India should further ask the world community that why Jews and Muslims are being forced to live separately in two countries (one Israel for Jews and other Palestine for Muslims).

Fortunately Obama seems to be a man of integrity and if India conducts this campaign for genuine secularism wisely then India can genuinely be proud of immensely contributing in solving one of the most gory and chronic problem being faced by mankind, namely the Israel / Palestine dispute.
