Cricket and Kashmir


Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf travelled to New Delhi to watch an ODI match. He left no stone unturned to raise and discuss the Kashmir dispute with Indian leaders.

India and Pakistan, the two nuclear-armed rivals, played cricket well and discussed Kashmir as well.

Pakistani President Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh maintained that the Kashmir problem could not be solved militarily. Is it a signal of good sportsmanship?

So India and Pakistan may play more ODI matches even in Sreenagar, Muzaffarabad and Siachen height with bat and ball only, and not fight with missiles and tanks against each other.

The Pakistani President has however said 'Unless we resolve the Kashmir dispute, it can erupt again under a future frame'. But he was confident that the two sides were poised to take the peace process forward.

Let us hope for the best.
