<div class="tab-pane" id="solid-justified-tab2"><p>All neighbours are important. Pakistan is even more, for India shares a long land, maritime and riverine borders. A substantial portion of territory is disputed between
the two countries, and is under the control of Pakistan. Though both countries may share the history, since 1947 they are on divergent paths with different political systems and conflicting strategic pursuits. Relationship between the two
countries have been on a rollercoaster ride and yet to settle. Given the current trends in internal politics, foreign relations and external interests in India and Pakistan, the relationship is likely to remain volatile.
<br><br>
India is growing at a faster pace; if it has to sustain the growth and get counted at the international level and find an acceptable and respectable place at the global table, it is important for New Delhi to take the neighbourhood along-
bilaterally and regionally. A negative relation with any neighbour has the potential to pull down India's regional and global aspirations.
<br><br>
It is important to study Pakistan as it is, without an ideological bias and political affiliation, and attempt to follow its current trajectories. Such a study should be comprehensive and inclusive – covering social, economic, energy,
ethnic and political spheres. Pakistan study should also aim at making projections and forecasts. This study should also be nuanced and try to reflect the multiple shades within Pakistan. The canvas is wider and there may be multiple paints
and numerous brushes.
<br><br>
It is necessary to understand political complications within Pakistan at national and provincial levels, civil-military relations, ethnic complexities, economic constraints and energy calculus. So should be the studies on demographic
trends, educational situation, radicalization process and social fabric. From Khunjerab to Gwadar, and from Lollywood to Cricket, there are multiple “Pakistans” within the same geographic parameters.
<br><br>
Equally imperative is the contemporary understanding and forecasts of external linkages of Pakistan especially vis-a-vis Afghanistan, China, US and the Middle East.
<br><br>
www.pakistanreader.org is an academic endeavour aimed at the above.
<br><br>
PR aims at focussing the following main eight topics in Pakistan (arranged alphabetically): Af-Pak, CPEC, Economy, Energy, External Relations (especially China, US and Middle East), Military, Politics and Society. Four sets of publications
are planned: Short Comment, Analysis, Brief and Forecast. Besides the above, the PR also will also review Reports, Documents, Books and Journal Essays.</p> </div>
<div class="tab-pane" id="solid-justified-tab3"><p> <img align="left" src="img/chari.jpg" width="99" height="114" style="padding-right:15px">Pakistan Reader is dedicated to my mentor Mr PR Chari and my teacher Prof Kalim
Bahadur. Prof Kalim introduced Pakistan to me; I was fortunate to submit my PhD under his guidance.<br><br>
Mr PR Chari was my first boss, but became more than that subsequently. He gave me the space to pursue my research interests at the Institute of Peace and Conflict Studies (IPCS) which became my home during 1998-2014. Though he is not with
us physically, I could always feel his presence, advice, smile, sarcasm and support.
<br><br>
I miss you Mr Chari. This initiative - Pakistan Reader is my humble tribute to you. You are the reason for what I'm today.
<br><br>
I was also fortunate to be taught by Prof SD Muni, Prof Muchkund Dubey and Prof P Sahadevan. Tough task masters yet great teachers. And my teachers at the Department of Political Science in Madras Christian College – moulded my earlier
career. Ajay Darshan Behera, Sushant Sareen, Alok Bansal and Gurmeet Kanwal have been great friends in my Pakistan research. Inputs on Pakistan from Amb TCA Rangachari and Mr Rana Banerji have always been valuable.
<br><br>
I'm also equally fortunate to have numerous friends in Pakistan. Those seniors whom I've met in various track-II dialogues and within Pakistan, young (and not so young now!) scholars with whom I've authored few essays, numerous students
whom I met in the Universities in Karachi and Islamabad, and a great number of friends from all over Pakistan – you have been fantastic, yet critical of my writings on Pakistan, but continue to remain in touch.
<br><br>
Back in New Delhi, at the IPCS, which I was fortunate to head during 2012-15, I had the opportunity to interact with great minds. Maj Gen Dipankar Banerjee, Amb Salman Haidar, Prof Varun Sahni, Prof Amitabh Mattoo, Amb Ranjit Gupta, Mrs
Chandra Chari, Mr PP Srivastava, Mr Dhirendra Singh, ACM Vinod Patney, Amb Arundhati Ghose, Dr Meenakshi Gopinath, Dr SS Bloeria, Dr Ashok Bhan, Lt Gen Patankar, Cmde Uday Bhaskar, Dr C Rajamohan, Amb Rajiv Bhatia, Mr Pankaj Madan, Mr
Tomislav Delinic and numerous other seniors helped me and the IPCS grow. I'm indebted to every one of them.
<br><br>
Within the IPCS, I worked with an enthusiastic and colourful group – who made the IPCS journey memorable. Mr Vermani, Prashanta, Vijay, Prasenjit, Swapna, Surendar and Mr Sharma – I owe you a lot. IPCS will always remain closer to my
heart; from Dr. Shankar Aiyar and Arpit Rajain my first colleagues to the last interns I worked – IPCS was absolute fun and a great institution. I miss you IPCS. I sincerely wish you grow further and expand under the new leadership.
<br><br>
And how can I ever thank my friends who were a great source of support during the last two decades. Prof Mallika Joseph, Prof Sanjay Bhardwaj, Prof Kavita Suri, Mr SDS Jamwal, Dr N Manoharan, Dr Bibhu Prasad Routray, Dr Wasbir Hussain, Dr
Vijay Sakhuja and Prof Shankari Sundararaman – thanks for being there.
<br><br>
And finally to my new home in Bangalore – NIAS, especially Prof Rajaram Nagappa and Prof Baldev Raj – thank you for your warm welcome and the kind space you have given me here. Hope I do justice and assist the ISSSP and NIAS in my own
little ways. And to Dr Gopi Rethinaraj, Dr Mayilvaganan and Prof Sindhu Radhakrishna – thank you for your warmth.
