Analysis
July 18
Battle
against history
Next
time avoid the bright lights and ticking clocks, says Ajai
Shukla
July
17
Long
Haul to Peace
Were
New Delhi to give Pakistan the Valley or accept it as an independent
state, it would do so on the basis of the population’s complexion,
writes Kuldip Nayar.
July
16
Adviser
Raj
The
presence of advisers, particularly when they are senior to
the secretaries, erodes the institutional authority of the
ministries concerned, says J.N. Dixit.
July 14
Blind
date at the Taj
Can the lasting image of this summit alter the bad one that
endures so far, Musharraf twirling the pistol in his hand,
the cigarette in his lips, Shekhar Gupta questions.
Win-win
or love-all?
Though policy experts aren’t placing bets on the summit, they
aren’t writing it off either, writes Sonia Trikha.
July 13
High
road to peace via Agra
Pakistan has difficulty climbing down from that minaret from
where it has sustained a chant of 'Kashmir, Kashmir, Kashmir',
writes Saeed Naqvi.
July 12
The
people’s piece
Will
failure in Agra be the fault of Vajpayee or of Musharraf or
will The People stand up and take at least some of the blame,
asks Sankarshan Thakur.
July 11
Waiting
to be surprised
Curbing
of infiltration by Pakistan would permit an easing of the
Indian security presence in Kashmir. This would encourage
a process of continued bilateral talks, writes Salman Haidar.
July 10
'India,
Pak meeting under foreign pressure’
The
medium differs, but the message from Pakistan’s former prime
minister Benazir Bhutto is invariably the same: the forthcoming
Agra summit will not change status quo in Kashmir.
July 9
A
separate peace
On
the eve of the summit, Amitabh Mattoo conducts a reality
check to challenge the myths about India-Pakistan relations.
July 7
Hurriyat,
spilt wide open
The Agra summit will test the standing of the Hurriyat Conference
in the Valley like never before, says Muzamil Jaleel.
India’s
pre-summit jitters
It
is as if after initiating this summit we are not sure we did
the right thing, that we are afraid this could be seen as
an act of weakness instead of strength, writes Shekhar
Gupta.
July

Agra
as a milestone
How is the world looking at the forthcoming Indo-Pak summit?
Saeed Naqvi finds out.
July 5
The
business of peace
The Agra summit could take the Kashmir route to give bilateral
trade between India and Pakistan a much-needed boost, says
Farhan Bokhari.
July 4
In
the name of the people
Governments and their bureaucracies have largely operated
under the assumption that an implacable animosity between
the two countries is the natural order of things. Yet people
want peace. Will Agra make up for 54 wasted years? Pamela
Philipose finds the answers.
