Even though gazoo says he has put Indians in ignore list, I have no doubt that he reads each and every one of our comments, hence i am quoting him. It is unfortunate that his relatives were not granted visa to visit their relatives. Ease of access to each others country is paramount to develop good neighbourly relation among two countries which which once shared common heritage and there are still so much common between two. Few years ago towards the end of Musharaff tenure when relation was improving leaps and bounds, visa procedure was greatly improved, lots of people from Pakistan visited India. Lots of Pakistani students enrolled in Indian universities. There were substantial back channel talks regarding Kashmir too and I had great feeling that now we could live like good neighbours just like sri lanka and India. Then Bombay happened.... Every time relation starts warming up forces inside Pakistan start sabotaging the momentum such as kargil, parliament attack, train bombing, temple massacre and bombing in Gujarat. Bombay attack was the straw that broke the camels back.
After all this I can understand India's suspicion at Pakistan. If such situation repeats in future, then the official which issued visa to people who committed terrorist act will be named and shamed and will also loose his job, so they are scared to issue visa.
Even after all this I agree that visa procedure should be improved and people who are old or very young and people who want to visit relatives should be put on different category and should be granted visa easily. Students, journalists, artists and trades people should also be given visa more easily. Most Indian people and decision makers understand that people to people contact are essential to developing peaceful relation. Peaceful and normal relation with stable and democratic Pakistan is extremely important for India's own interest. I have no doubt that when trust between India and Pakistan will increase all these visa problems will be solved. However Pakistan first should control those rouge elements (in collusion with agencies) in its soil that sponsors terrorism in India.
