 A daylong much awaited Indo-Pak secretary level talks were held in New Delhi on February 25, 2010. There has been no worthwhile outcome from the dialogue. Initially there remained misperceptions, whether it is the renewal of the composite dialogue process, initially started in 1997, and later renewed in January 2004. Considering that perception, Pakistan in particular and other South Asian countries in general were pinning many hopes from these dialogue. However, on February 17, 2010, once both countries were finalizing their agendas for the forthcoming Indo-Pak dialogue, Mr. Krishna, Indian Foreign Minister, said in a TV interview that “Let us be very, very clear that the composite dialogue is suspended. Composite dialogue is not being renewed...The brief to the Foreign Secretary is that terror would be focal point.” In a way, S.M. Krishna, set a new tone for the dialogue, by disrupting the composite dialogue process. Indian Home Minister however tried to bridge the gulf by promising that other issues between India and Pakistan would also come under discussion during the talks in New Delhi.

 Although India has been supporting the forces of separatism especially in Pakistan and Chinese Tibetan regions, yet like the former Soviet Union, it has rapidly been heading towards its downfall. On the one side, New Delhi which decided 34 percent increase in its defence budget in 2009, and is planning to raise its military budget by 50% to almost $40 billion in the near future, signed the pact of civil nuclear technology with the US in 2008 has been importing latest arms and ammunition from Israel, America, Russia, Germany and other western countries, on the other side provincial and regional disparities have been widening in the country day by day as majority of Indian populations are living below the poverty level, lacking basic facilities like fresh food and clean water. While yielding to acute poverty, every day, some persons commit suicide in India.

 In a statement during an address to the Intelligence Ministry staff in Tehran, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad dubbed the U. S. official version of the Sept. 11 attacks a "big lie". He charged that the incident was used by the U.S. as an excuse for the war on terror. The Iranian president’s insinuation apart, it is necessary and morally incumbent upon the U.S. administration to probe and find out the truth. It is not only the Iranian prime minister who says so but even there are Americans who have been expressing the doubts and apprehensions that no outsiders alone could have accomplished this very tricky and highly technical job; all the more the Saudis who are far from attaining the sophisticated aviation technology and who would not defy Americans in any way.

 According to all dictionaries of English language, ‘raw ‘means crude and coarse, unprocessed and untreated ; these meanings seem very much close to reality when we look at the working of the world famous intelligence agency RAW. The name coined for it very truly matches the accurate meanings of the word. Raw has very surprisingly succeeded in getting the record of the telephonic conversation between the ISI chief General Ahmed Shuja Pasha and President Karzai of Afghanistan. During this telephonic conversation, General Pasha tried to convince the Afghan president to curtail the Indian involvement in Afghanistan. General Pasha promised to smooth the way for negotiations between the Taliban and the Afghan government if Karzai co-operates in this context.

 While the Government is confronted with host of emergent problems relating to restive Balochistan, suicide bombing, political tug-of-war, it has not put Pakistan’s fault lines in the backburners - economic development, abject poverty, water concerns, urbanization, environmental hazards. In fact, demographists and economists have established a causal relationship between over-population and scarcity of resources like water, poverty, environmental pollutions, etc. Over-population is generally termed as "causes de jour". The unabated population growth is causing a catastrophic strain on surging economy of Pakistan. No one can deny that achieving desirable rates of population growth could be an important factor in bringing sustainability of resources and averting energy problems. Pakistan is confronted with a horrendous problem of over population.

 We should not judge multi-faceted crises of Pakistan including perennial wave of suicide attacks in isolation because rapidly developing geo-political differences among regional and global powers in Asia show that the next cold war which is in its embryonic stage is likely to be waged between the Russia-China alliance and the US-led nations, while Pakistan has already become its arena.

 If United States is for democracy then let her understand that there is a democratic set up in Pakistan which is patently farcical and a hoax. After two years of the incumbent government of PPP in power, president Zardari has failed to transfer powers to the prime minister of Pakistan that he had promised and which was part of the PPP’s elections manifesto. The governance has remained in a state of paralysis and there does not seem to be any chance for good and clean governance to come by. If someone is under the illusion that the worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship then let him correct his political perceptions. In Pakistan it is neither worst democracy nor the best dictatorship. It’s a government that is being run by “Ali Baba Aur Chalees Chores).

 The cancer of corruption is spreading world wide, some spots with thicker growth while others in the growing tumorous stage, but prevalent never-the-less all over. Unfortunately, Pakistan falls in the thick growth area and rated as one of the most corrupt countries, way up in the ladder of the world corruption order. What is still more alarming is that it has been there for quite some time now and likely to stay near the top for some quite seeable future unless measures are taken to wrest the spread. Corruption hurts economies, people, and governments. Corruption is unethical, immoral, and illegal in all societies, religions, and countries. It needs to be rooted out. Private organizations, United Nations, and some governments have attempted to stop corruption or at least prevent it but have failed.
