Assalam-o-Alaikum-Warahmat-ULLAH ALL,
(a) The policy of cultural exchanges (dancers, singers, musicians, actors and poets) is a failure. It was doomed from the beginning. It would NEVER have helped in Pakistan's agenda on Kashmir.
India has conceded nothing, literally nothing! to Pakistan in the last 20+ years with this strategy/policy. Not even a millimeter of Kashmiri land or welfare of its people has been ensured by this in the last 20+ years.
The above is the worst!!! worst!!! kind of strategy Pakistanis' could ever come up with.
(b) Steps like cricket with Indian may generate good-will, but that is ALL it will achieve. None-the-less, we need good-will within ranks of Indian people
-------------------------------------------------------------------
If this issue is to be resolved peacefully, then;
(a) Pakistan needs to bring awareness in world opinion
Pakistan desperately! needs to reach out to the masses of the world. The masses of the world rather than the leaders of the world. Only AFTER we'v made the masses of the world aware of Kashmir issue, should we aproach world leaders, because at that time, their public will put pressure on them to tell them, what they are doing to help in Kashmir's cause.
(b) Pakistan needs to gain multiple diplomatic leverage(s) on India, without conceding its position
Diplomatic leverage on India means, Pakistan should take ALL of those steps through which it can put India on the back foot.
(c) Pakistan needs to keep our diplomats, our ministers, our masses up-to-date with that which is going on in this regard, ALL!! the time. Spread the complete! progress report on ALL that is going on in this regard, at ALL! times
We need to look for ways, look for opportunities to hand out as many (multiple) strategic options to our diplomats as we can, before they go into talks with anyone in international arena.
(d) This has to be a team effort
People in this nation need to understand this fact.
What we need to do ? We need to;
(1) take steps that would give us leverage(s) on India, be it of any kind
(2) STOP! making political, diplomatic blunders, like Mr. Musharraf did
(3) mobilize Pakistan's Counselates in ALL the countries where Pakistan has Counselates, or where we can reach, to bring awareness in masses of the world, spread the word about Kashmir, spread the info on what is going on in Kashmir
We can learn from the Jews/Zionists/Neocons, from Christians.
Jews in USA, who own mass media, first mobilize public opinion in the masses of the world, through awareness campaigns, then they come to the second phase, which is 'aggressive negotiations'.
(4) give media coverage to the atrocities Indian Army is committing in Kashmir. We need to spread that info ALL over the globe, make the entire globe watch it, like the west or India does with Pakistan
- USA, UK, their allies, as well as India are constantly using mass media to spread venom of lies against us, right ?
What have we done to learn from them ? Have we learned to use their own weapon against them ?
We need;
(a) a tireless effort
(b) self accountability
(c) self improvement in this case
(d) to improve our tactics, refine the ways in which we do things
(e) refine our ways of presenting the truth to the masses of the world, without resorting to unnatural ways
- Why are we not showing the world, face of reality, when we are right ? This is one of our biggest! blunders to-date
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This can in turn be achieved if Pakistan;
(1) tirelessly keeps working on its agenda
(2) doesn't concede its position, one bit
(3) improves on its internal political, judicial, financial, social injustice
(4) rebuilds its economy
(5) develops next generation products to make the entire world dependent on Pakistani made products
(6) starts from scratch with everything in Pakistan's education system, standardization would help us go a long way
(7) strengthens its stance in world opinion through tireless mass media campaigns
