Introduction
|
Pakistan-India relationship is an important subject of peace and war in subcontinent. Since the emergence of both countries, the people of India and Pakistan had been living in tense and fearful circumstances due to the unending conflict existing between both nations (Ahmad, 1989). |
According to the Military balance, India and Pakistan account for 80% of the defence expenditure of the region. The economic burden of military spending for India and Pakistan during the last ten years has been one of the highest in the world .The military man power numerical strength of India and Pakistan are the fourth and seventh largest in the world, respectively, while the GNP per capita in 1995, Pakistan ranked 129th and India stood at 138th in the world (Talbot, 2000). Today India has a defence establishment of over a million people, while Pakistan is close to 800,000. According to current estimate the total cost of India’s nuclear program through 2001 has been in the region of $18 billion while Pakistan is supposed to have spent $6 billion. Militarization besides consuming a disproportionate share of national budget, also inflict, certain hidden costs and arms related debt creation. In 1999 Pakistan had a $30 billion foreign debt while India had a foreign debt in the region of $90 billion (Durrani, 2000). As a result India and Pakistan are amongst the most deprived nations of the world, based on the evaluation of per capita income, literacy rate, health, infrastructure and gender equality. Forty percent of the citizens of both countries live below the poverty line. Villages and town do not have access to clean drinking water. Children, who survive, despite unhygienic conditions, have a life span much shorter than developed societies. Both Pakistan and India have low literacy rate. Growth rate in both countries is high. Both are suffering from the problem of energy shortfalls and need monetary and technical assistance to build basic infrastructure required for rapid development (Arif, 2001). But unluckily financial resources are diverted towards building up defence forces to deal with a possible outbreak of hostilities. Both countries are facing the challenges of poverty, illiteracy, terrorism, corruption but consuming their all energies on traditional rivalries. This study also examines the nature of relationship between elite British Press and Pakistan government. This study attempts to unfold the policy of the British Press and to see the points of commonalities and differences among their editorial policy about Pakistan government stance on Pakistan-India relations related issues during January 2008 to October 2009. In this uni-polar world, it has become imperative for the nations to minimise conflict and enhance cooperation. The role of international media to influence foreign policy and matters of the countries has assumed paramount importance. Pakistan – India relations hold key role for peace and stability in South Asia. The present global political scenario with regional importance has once again highlighted position of South Asia. The major obstacle in the region for economic and political stability is Pakistan-India relations. The researcher attempts to explore that what kind of relationship exist between foreign policy of Pakistan government and the policies of British Press. The researcher focuses upon the editorials and articles of The Guardian and The Telegraph for analysing their editorial policy towards Pakistan’s government stance on under research issues of Pakistan-India relations. Editorials are considered to be the most important part of the newspaper as they reflect the policy of the newspaper and a newspaper is an entity, not a limb of greater organization. Its editorials are the product of an organization rather than the work of an individual (Saleem, 2000).The researcher will see the how far British newspapers endorse Pakistan government stance on under research issues of Pakistan-India relations. The Guardian and The Telegraph are international famed elite British Newspapers. Both have their worldwide influence by their news, editorials and articles. They are considered standard highly circulated newspapers of UK; serve both elite and metropolitan readers; both of the newspapers have sizeable staff deputed at London, Manchester and established bureaus around the UK and world. Policy makers, officials and attentive community leaders, groups do not miss their editorials and news coverage. This study is closely related to Cohen (1963) and Harris (1999) studies of media-foreign policy relationship. The researcher attempted to examine the nature of relationship between the British and Pakistan government foreign policy on Pak-India relations issue. |

Pakistan’s stance on Pak-India relations issue
|
According to Pakistan Kashmir dispute is a core issue in Pak-India relationship. It is root cause of conflict and tension in the region, now it has become a nuclear flash point; this signifies/recognises the dangerous nature of this dispute. Pakistan has always sought a meaningful and substantive dialogue with India (Shahi, 1989). However, Indians have refused to engage in meaningful talks on Kashmir, claiming it as an integral part of India. The Pakistan government policy of Jammu and Kashmir issue enjoys national consensus. Pakistan maintains its principle stand in accordance with UN Security Council resolutions that call for a plebiscite under UN auspices, in order to find an early and just solution to the 56 – years old Jammu and Kashmir dispute. Pakistan has welcomed efforts of good officer and third party mediation (Mateemuddin, 1994). It has encouraged the international community to play active role and facilitates the peaceful settlement of disputes between Pakistan and India. Pakistan will continue to extend full political, diplomatic and moral support to the legitimate Kashmiri struggle for their right of self-determination as preserved in United Nations resolution wish was accepted by India. (Zakar,2000). India alleges involvement of Pakistan in insurgency of Indian Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan denied and declared it indigenous movement of Jammu and Kashmir people for achieving their right of self-determination. India, America and western world allege Pakistan’s intelligence agencies to support militants elements, Pakistan denies it and after 9/11 and Mumbai attacks banned all such organisations and started crackdown against their activities. In context of bilateral dialogue, Pakistan calls India to translate its commitment into reality. At the same time, Pakistan will encourage the International community to support and supplement efforts to establish lasting peace and stability in South Asia on the basis of equitable resolution of all disputes between the two countries, in particular the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir. For normalization of the situation and resolution of Kashmir issue, Pakistan has presented different form and proposals (Arif, 2001). Pakistan has always tried to de-escalate the tense situation in the region. Pakistan wishes to start talks with India over a phased withdrawn of troops on both sides from their forward positions to their peace time locations. Pakistan emphasized that India should allow access to human right groups and international media to visit Indian held Kashmir in order to monitor the human rights situation there. Pakistan is willing to restore, on a reciprocal basis, air, rail and road communications links that had been served as a result of Indian decisions. India’s point of view in this regard is that no dialogue process can be started till Pakistan takes serious action to stop terrorism in India and against involved figures in Pakistan. Now-a-days terrorist acts in India and Pakistan are in lime light. India claimed that Pakistani elements are involved in these terrorist incidents, especially in Mumbai attack, in which one alive captured Ajmal Qasab identified as Pakistani citizen. According to Indian officials this terrorist attack was plotted in Pakistan. Pakistan denied any involvement of government agencies, but stated that there can be involvement of some non-state actors in this event. Pakistan government started crackdown and judicial trial against accused persons, but India is not satisfied with the action of Pakistan. After 9/11, Indian influence and involvement in Afghanistan also escalated tensions in the region. Afghanistan becomes ground of proxy war of both countries. Pakistan blames India for backing insurgency in Baluchistan and NWFP province and terrorist attacks in Pakistan. Other side India alleged Pakistan intelligence agencies involvement in terrorist attacks on its Kabul embassy. Pakistan point of view is that Indian embassy and consulates in Afghanistan are indulged in conspiracies against Pakistan (Sattar, 2007). |

Conclusion
|
In the beginning of 21st century, it has become imperative for all nations of the world to minimize conflicts and enhance cooperation. Pakistan-India relations hold key to peace stability in South Asia. Many efforts have been done to normalize the relations between both countries but it is unfortunate that fruitful consummation did not materialize. A common vision of peace, progress and prosperity for people should be shared by the two neighbour countries. The researcher attempted to explore the relationship existed between foreign policy of Pakistan government (regarding Pak-India relations) and the policies of elite British newspapers. The literature on the topic under discussion was reviewed, explored that it should be cooperative and harmonious, and the relationship would be consistent with the nature of independent editorial determination, with the spirit of pluralism and with press freedom. Many inconsistencies in findings of researchers related to various aspects of media and foreign policy of governments suggest that subject is not only volatile in nature but also very complex. Lack of consensus among the scholars as to what the relationship are between the press and foreign policy issues of is something monolithic, sometime adversarial and sometime indifferent. The theoretical framework of this study is based on Cohen’s (1963) study “The Press and foreign policy” in which he states that press being an important institution of civil society plays an effective role in shaping the foreign policy issues of any country.” This study based on qualitative & quantitative content analysis in which researcher selected the editorials and articles of two elite British newspapers The Guardian and The Telegraph have same dates and issues of Pak-India relations during (January 2008 to October 2009), to know the treatment and policy contrast of both newspapers towards Pakistan government stance on Pak-India relations issues. The researcher also attempted to seek the similarities and differences among the both newspaper policy / coverage on under research issues. Three topics terrorism (Tensions), negotiations (peace talks) and Kashmir were deduced from selected editorials and articles. To assess the selected matter, every editorial and article of both newspapers analysed and discussed separately. Tone, opinion and treatment towards under research issues are discussed in analysis. Whether it was supportive to Pak Government policy/stance, opposite or had a balanced/neutral policy, Holsti’s formula of coding was used. Regarding the deduced issues, both newspapers were analysed and compared with each other and with the Pak government stance on issue. In the light of findings analysis and discussion the answers of research questions were tried to find out which stated that |
1. As a whole coverage of both newspapers on under research issues is very less according to importance of under research issues. |
2. The Guardian and The Telegraph both published 05 editorials on under research issues during research period. |
3. The Guardian published 12 and The Telegraph published 08 articles on under research issues during research period. |
4. The Guardian gave more importance to Mumbai attacks and Kashmir issue. |
5. The Telegraph gave more importance to Mumbai attacks and dialogue process. |
6. Comparatively The Guardian gave more importance/coverage to under research issues during research period. |
7. Both newspapers given more coverage to the issue of terrorism (Mumbai attack) and then negotiation & Kashmir. |
Policies of the both Newspapers
|
1. In the light of findings and analysis we may conclude that both newspapers have almost same policy towards Pakistan Government stance. There was no major difference observed between the editorial policy of both newspapers except Guardian comparatively given more important to the issues of Pak-India relations in editorials then The Telegraph. |
2. Findings that proved our first hypothesis The Guardian policy towards Pakistan India relations is balanced and the Guardian gives space to every point of view. |
3. Our second hypothesis is also proved “The Telegraph policy towards Pakistan India relations is neutral and this newspaper also gives space to every point of view. |
4. Both newspapers highlighted terrorism (Mumbai attack) in their editorials. |
5. The Guardian gave more space to articles of Kashmir issue than The Telegraph on its pages. |
6. The Telegraph gave more space to Pakistan-India peace talk articles on its comment pages. |
7. Approval of both hypothesis rejected the perception and approach of common Pakistani that British (west) Newspaper’s policy is biased towards Pakistan and these newspapers favours India. But this point is noticeable that both newspapers, especially The Guardian , gives very much importance & coverage to Mumbai attacks as it published 02 editorials within a week about Mumbai attacks but such terrorists attacks and causalities of hundreds innocent citizens and soldiers in Pakistan are not given similar importance. |
