cricket and diplomacy.

restoration of diplomatic ties is a good step on part of indian govt.but retoration of bilateral cricket ties cant be appreciated.the moment when our brothers are fighting on the border,when the bloodshed of our countrymen is on its peak,on that precise moment how can our players go and start playing cricket.it is right that sports and politics are to be kept apart but our armymen and bsf are also doing their duty taking chance with the life.will it be a true gesture on govt 's part to start cricket ties when some of our brothers are fighting on the border?

The Security Of A Nation/Person depends on the Security of their Neighbour

Well, Sports and Politics should be kept apart. That Point is very well taken. But in the same breath one should also not turn towards sport to solve the Problem between two rival Nation. The only objective of exchanging visits in sports should be a way to improve the relative sports skills. Period.
Problems have solutions. Infact Every complicated Problem has a simple solution. It is important though to keep things simple.
India and Pakistan are born of the same womb. They have a lot of similarities. India has more muslims than Pakistan(which calls itself a Islamic state).
Political Problems have a Political solution. The politicians should focus on the exact Cause of the Problem. I am pleased that the Indian Politicians have taken a stand and are sticking to it, Unlike on earlier occasions when there was no definitive Stand on the Political and Historical Issues with our Neighbour. I will end By quoting Mark Twain " The Security Of A Nation/Person depends on the Security of their Neighbour" In other words, If our Neighbours are secure we will be doubly Secure.
