Can see where you are coming from but still bigboi's other points stand and it's still better option for India to have better relationships with Pak to counter Chinese and cut them to size, otherwise it will be too little too late, Pak surely will be worse of but India will hurt their interest also if status quo remain, India won't be doing any favors but should safe guard their interest and in current scenario it's also in their interest tu have workable relationships with Pak.
Ohh absolutely. There is no denying that. If Indian government tries to be either hawkish or indifferent to Pakistan's misery then China or any other vested interest won't mind to exploit that. Its in our best interest we maintain links with Pakistani establishment, no need to be defensive or aggressive. Just normal diplomatic connect needs to be maintained, along with control of violence on sensitive areas, no LOC violation etc. Just do not finger each other, let it happen at its own pace and ignore the hawks and the peaceniks. The latter is even more dangerous as they constitute certain percentage of people who wants to paint a rosy picture for individual and commercial benefit. Once things look steady then open it up for cross border trading and medical treatments. Take one step at a time, maintain the sanity and do not get lost in the media or bollywood drama. This drama of "Ah mere bhai gale lag ja" and then in the next minute " Tu hai dhokebaaz " is nothing but to fool aam admi by the powers that be aided by media and foolish netizen fan boys.
