The future with uncertainties and the past with memories will be haunting disgraceful conflicts. India has been a victim of one of the most horrifying and tedious terror attack, taken place in Mumbai. The magnitude or rather gravity of the attack catastrophically caused approximately 200 carcasses. The majority of the casualties were Indians. The effect became global and intimidating to nearby countries. The losses of life and the empirical well organized attack rooted towards conflicts.

The divergence from peace agreement and increasing tension is not safeguarding the nation, it is rather amplifying quandary.

What might happen

Pakistan

International pressure is forcing nearby countries to render doubtful and suspicious answers. The main focus has been upon Pakistan. The involvement of a Pakistani terrorist has led to the re-birth of ancient conflicts. India and Pakistan has been in conflicts over Kashmir, and its ownership in the past. However, in recent years they succeed to reach a peace agreement. The agreement was initiated to reduce tension and instead create peace, order and security between these two nations.

The past is indeed embedded in the civilized society. The terrorism attack on Taj Mahal and Oberoi has revived these memories and attributed to deepening conflicts. This has even been enforced by a global recession.

World Conflicts

Confident of investors has been heavily terrified. Foreign investment has become a risk business. India is an irresistible example. The two hotels accounted for top businessmen around the globe. Their death has shocked the world. It has also displayed the risk which is present when we are involved in world business activities. The risk is present everywhere! Yes, but we do fear India today. The risk that it reoccurred is still high. The eventual outcome will be a disincentive to invest in India. Investors will fear the giant market.

What India can do

India must interact with the world. They must assure transparency through courses of action implemented. There shouldn't be a blame culture rather a culture towards solution. A pragmatic strategy must be elaborated to fight terrorism and to protect against them. The degree of security must be improved. It shall further be monitored through proper involvement of international partners such as UN and EU. These would immediately resolve international dilemmas. It would also restore trust and confidence in political will to act and eradicate terrorism.

The harder case is Pakistan. These two grand nation must work together to fight internal corruption and external attacks. The internal corruption has evolved while terrorist has infiltrated into various systems. It is only through a bilateral agreement and continuous interaction that order can be restored amongst them. India should not blame a nation nor should the world do, just because of a minority. Yet, countries should, however, not withstand and protect the culprit. This is a sin and shall be addressed with appropriate strategies.

A pronged approach must be adhered, whereby short and long term strategies are functionally adopted. India has an intellectual population. They can and shall resolve conflicts in a gradual and holistic manner. Time will be the determining factor towards results. India will have to assure that it remains committed to its words.
