Tackle Kashmir now

Article Abstract:

Kashmir is the underlying reason for continued hostility between India and Pakistan. The international community has little scope for action in relation to Kashmir, and no major country is willing to make the substantial commitment that would be required to resolve this conflict. India and Pakistan therefore have very strong reasons for negotiating a bilateral settlement of the conflict over Kashmir. Both governments must now try to find the common ground upon which they can make progress towards a full settlement.

Washington drops the big one

Article Abstract:

A proposal in Washington to repeal the Pressler Amendment and resume military aid to Pakistan is ill-founded and could wreak havoc on US-Indian relations. The bill, introduced at the Clinton administration's request, would give Pakistan $368 million and repeal a requirement that the president first certify the recipient nation free of nuclear weapons. This will reward Pakistan for deceiving the US, sending a dreadful message to other countries and violating the principle of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Joint beneficiaries

Article Abstract:

Political critics in India have charged that Li Peng's state visit in December 1991 was more beneficial to China than to India. They cite India's recognition of Tibet as part of China without a reciprocal Chinese assurance on Kashmir. Although some of the criticisms of the Indian government are valid, the critics failed to grasp the importance of the visit. Both countries must contend with a new world order without the participation of the Soviet Union as a superpower.
