Man, as the vicegerent of God Almighty, has an innate urge for preponderance in socio-political life. His propensity for elevation in temporal world always bolsters, rejuvenates and invigorates his resolve and conation to remain steadfast in his endeavour to look for means and methods which can help him achieve the objective of prominence and distinction in the sphere of performance . Political stalwarts with exuberant passion for subjective and prospective assertion find themselves always engrossed in the scramble for the position of exaltation and excellence .An altruist with a populistic agenda would want to become a beacon light in the civil society of the nation he belongs to. Political leader with outstanding leadership flair inadvertently tries to be a doctrinist so that he can instil hope and infuse the spirit of revolution into the hearts of his admirers. Doctrinism for patriotic ambitions is always soothingly wholesome ; without populistic and altruistic prudence doctrinism may get relegated to the position of chauvinistic doctrinairism which , in no case , is palatable for humanists and the gentility at large .So it is only a doctrinist with universal altruistic political agenda who can infallibly and impeccably spearhead a comprehensive movement of socio-political renaissance .And contribution of such an all - pervasive altruistic doctrinist will inevitably turn out to be spiritual nectar and temporal panacea of all socio-political ailments and imponderables .
All the global pacifists and humanists felt exulted and elated on July 6,2009 when Mr. Barak Husain Obama, the US President, and Mr. Dmitry A. Madvedev, the Russian President signed an agreement for strategic cooperation in the field of nuclear disarmament and slashing of nuclear warheads and missiles . Perennial bellicosity and antagonism reminiscent of the Cold War era is certainly obsolete , redundant and anachronistic in the present global trend of political rapprochement and entente . All the
global leaders should bear in mind that political dichotomy and paradoxical and enigmatic manoeuvering to checkmate one another is now obnoxious ,repugnant and abhorrent for those who are earnestly craving for global peace and tranquillity. In the arena of global politics only the nonpareil and chastened political ideas can guarantee emancipation and deliverance from mind –boggling mess of conflicting chauvinistic pursuits. In the backdrop of the philosophical outpourings of those who matter in the political theatre ,what the leaders of South Asia said in orchestration to synchronize the peace efforts is really heartening . So Indo-Pak summit of July 16,2009 in Sharam-ul-Sheikh (Egypt)did convey a message of peace and pacifism and it augurs well in the present environment of turbulence and truculence . However, the joint communiqué reticence, taciturnity and brevity vis-à-vis Kashmir caused disillusionment here. Of late , US secretary of state ,Ms. Hillary Clinton ,during her visit to New Delhi was unequivocally emphatic in explaining the exigency of involvement of Kashmiris and their patriotic aspirations in the Indo-Pak peace process . Thus Ms. Hillary Clinton’s savoury sermon did embolden the otherwise benumbed and dejected Kashmiris .
In Indo-Pak political relations maximalists shall have to condescend to recognize that realpolitik and empiricism alone can salvage the South Asian region . It is the political acumen , prudence and stoicism of Indian and Pakistani rulers which can ward off the threat of pre-emption and sabotage while exchanging constructive and substantive postulations on Kashmir ;and gravamen of each side should necessarily avoid fixation and obsession as irritant . Propensity for and disposition to regressive nationalism and chauvinism will simply vitiate the atmosphere which lies already overshadowed by mistrust and paranoia. Let the chapter of polemics , recrimination and shenanigans be consigned to archives . It is nice that the nuclear potential of India and Pakistan successfully countervails and counter balances the threat , horror and terror . The parity in power and potential of the two contending parties to Kashmir issue should be motivating factor for serious discourse and brass tacks during Kashmir parleys . General Pervez Musharaf , the ex-President of Pakistan ,in his interview published by daily Rising Kashmir on July 18 ,2009 reveals that there was a credible consensus between India and Pakistan for a generalized demilitarization of Kashmir . General Musharaf was “awaiting the visit of Dr. Manmohan Singh to Pakistan for a formal ceremony of assigning of the signatures to the agreement”. Alas! , the castrated , emasculated and egocentric advisors in New Delhi could not prove of any help to Dr. Manmohan ji then .The aftermath and fallout of the failure was visible later on ;we need not question the veracity of the contention on either side . Thanks to obscurantism! It is time to recast the ideas about the peaceful coexistence . And the nectar of altruistic doctrinism will eventually become a binding force between India and Pakistan and hence free Kashmir will be bridge of friendship between the two. Inshe Allah .
Now vibes and overtures for the resumption of dialogue are welcome ;tripartite discourse on Kashmir will be the logical culmination of the exhaustive interaction between New Delhi and Islamabad . Squandering, dissipating and frittering away of natural resources for jingoism and unwanted polarization is detestable ,abominable and reprehensible . Welfare of one and a half billion people of South Asia cannot be held as hostage to the legacy of belligerency real or imaginary .
So our plea ,with consecution and coherence , for early peaceful and practicable settlement of Kashmir issue should move and mobilize the authorities which appear petrified , hardened ,obdurate and intractable with egocentric resilience. Let us pray to God Almighty that such souls be proselytized to adopt a humanistic approach to Kashmir issue which ostensibly seems vexed and complex . Tread the path of righteousness with indefatigable resolve and determination.Allah will crown your efforts with success.
