Foreign Policy on Pakistan-India Relation
FOREIGN POLICY
PAKISTAN AND INDIA

AUGUST, 2012
Shaheera Jalil Albasit
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Defence,
PILDAT’s Youth Parliament, Pakistan

Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Defence

FOREWORD

The document is an attempt to see Pakistan’s external relations with its immediate eastern neighbor, India, in a contemporary light. The strategies recommended in this policy come from the belief that Pakistan’s stable internal security and Pakistan’s elevated presence in the global economy are principal dictators of its Foreign Policy.
An aggressive, liberal and a pro-active foreign policy makes way for improved ties with the nations of the world.
Predictably, the regional scenario of South Asia, particularly of the region encompassing the countries of Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, China, Iran, Nepal, Bangladesh and the Central Asian States is likely to remain volatile in the near future. Pakistan is a stakeholder in the scenario and regional instability is inadvertently going to have a decelerating influence on the country’s road to peace and progress. With Pakistan and India’s relation being strengthened via the tools of negotiations and diplomacy, it can be expected that inter-regional cooperation will be catalyzed. Thus, better ties between the two most significant neighbors in the region, Pakistan and India, symbolize enhanced cooperation in the
South Asian region on the whole.
The document sets out a two-faceted goal, Short-Term and Long-Term and bridges the proposed solutions to the principal issues between Pakistan and India, through a road-map.

Note: ‘Foreign Policy’ has been formulated by Members of the Youth Parliament in their individual and collective capacities and does not necessarily bear affinity-of-opinion to PILDAT (Pakistan
Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency) and its officials.

    Nuclear war is something that we have all heard about. It seems to be overdramatized in movies. But perhaps the movies are right. Maybe we are on the brink of a chasm so dark and ominous that it drowns out all faith and light. A nuclear holocaust occurring would wipe out all of civilization as we know it. We would be essentially thrown into a dark age. Never in the history of the world has there been such a dramatic event, but that does not mean that it cannot happen.…

    After Indian independence until the end of the cold war, the relationship between the two nations has often been thorny. Dwight Eisenhower was the first U.S. President to visit India in 1959. He was so supportive of India that the New York Times remarked "It did not seem to matter much whether Nehru had actually requested or been given a guarantee that the U.S. would help India to meet further Chinese communist aggression. What mattered was the obvious strengthening of Indian-American friendship to a point where no such guarantee was necessary."…

    Indian Hegemonic Designs

    1. India’s hegemonic designs have always generated intense academic, intellectual, and strategic interest and controversy. Historically, Indian expansionist psyche can be traced back to the concept of ‘Vishal Bharat’ or Greater India. Since its independence, Indian leaders have exhibited a distinct role consciousness - a deep seated desire to play a central role in the region and in due course assume the status of global power. Of late, the rapid build-up of Indian military muscle along with its ambitious nuclear and missile pursuits is also being viewed as a vindication of the role and status consciousness of India.…

    The rapport between India and Pakistan since 1947 has been distressed and unfriendly, Marked by indiscriminating communal massacres at the time of partition of British India; three wars and countless trivial conflicts and clashes afterwards. One critical factor in this history has been the pre- partition heritage of the two political movements that dominated the political environment of India before and after independence- The Indian National Congress and the Muslim League. Most of the political and social concepts that dominated the ideology and psychology that controlled these two movements survived into the independence period and have not disappeared. This is particularly true of their intensely negative perceptions about each other. Many political analysts believe ,today India’s continued adversarial relations with Pakistan have resulted in India having to divert its scare financial, material and trained manpower resources for defence purposes, there for, to a great extent reducing its capabilities to implement social and economic policies for internal matters. This article seeks to go deeper into Indo- Pakistan’s relations with each other and study India’s policies towards its neighbour.…

    Pakistan and China have a longstanding relationship, especially since 1962, when China and India went to war over a disputed border. The Chinese have been steadfast friends and have supported Pakistan through thick and thin. China’s interest lies in a stable and prosperous Pakistan. They have been very generous in sharing their development and progress in the economic and technical fields and have aided Pakistan in every possible manner. Therefore, the visit of Prime Minister Gilani should not be considered as reactive. Pakistan is a sovereign country (despite challenges) and has the right to choose its friends and explore options for positive relationships other…

    Which presently, under the condition of complex interdependence theory, military force no longer is the best instrument of policy making between states (Jackson & Sorensen, 2013). As stated before, due to the effects of globalization, states are required to be increasingly interdependent among each other for their economic and social welfare. Which eventually means that state need to interact and accommodate to each other terms and conditions, that mostly involved trades. According to Nye (2005, p.207), welfare of the state become the primary and most dominant goal. Thus, it is economic benefits for nation-state that become the best instrument of policy making instead of military force that…

    India Foreign Policy

    Every sovereign country has its foreign policy. India too has one. Foreign policy refers to the sum total of principles, interests and objectives which a country promotes while interacting with other countries. Even though there are certain basic features of a foreign policy it is not a fixed concept. The thrust of foreign policy keeps on changing according to changing international conditions. India’s foreign policy is shaped by several factors including its history, culture, geography and economy. Our Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, gave a definite shape to the country’s foreign policy. The Republic of India is the second most populous country and the world’s most-populous democracy and has one of the fastest economic growth rates in the world. With the world’s tenth largest military expenditures and eleventh largest economy by nominal rates or fourth largest by purchasing power parity, India is considered to be a regional power and a potential global power. It is India’s growing international influence that increasingly gives it a more prominent voice in global affairs. India has historically played a prominent role in several international organizations. It has a long history of collaboration with several countries and is considered a leader of the developing world. India was one of the founding members of several international organizations, most notably the United Nations, the Non-Aligned Movement, the Asian Development Bank and the G20…

    According to Walter Lippman,” A nation has security when it does not have to sacrifice its legitimate interests to avoid war and is able, if challenged to maintain them by war”. Security as a concept is a subject of interpretations. The term security is always relative, contextual and situational. Interestingly enough, the security of one nation tends to generate the feeling of insecurity among others. Pakistan’s…
