Friendship with SU, NAM membership, and other political reasons... very shortsighted imho.

[LaoSexMachine]

Why don't Pakistan recognize Israel?

[LineDoggie]

Friendship with SU, NAM membership, and other political reasons... very shortsighted imho.
But the Soviet Union was also one of the first Countries to recognize Israel on May 14th, 1948 along with the USA, Guatemala, Byelorussia*, the Ukraine*, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Uruguay, and Yugoslavia

* Soviet States as well

At that time it was due to India's attempts to prevent the creation of Pakistan, plus a little gift from Ghandi.
India did recognize Israel as a nation in 1950 though.

not to mention the huge Muslim population.
those days anything could spark religious riot.

India always did and still support Palestnian cause as well as Israel right to protect itself as well as its right to exist as a nation.

It is for the very obvious reason that every country in this worls has its right to take suitable decisions to suit its need at appropriate time.

And to this person who posted this thread I will attribute this ignorance as - Your country, your population including you and your politicians are a long a way off from the opertunity of taking decisions on your own about your country. Even if its president knows about:

The non-state actors, he can not provide Pakistanis a safe palce to live, Akas will be angry.
The murder of his wife, he could not spell it out and wants UN's help to do so.
So people like you will never understand how a country takes decision.

what the heck are you talking about?

the point no 1 and 2 is like you talking infront of a mirror

[bengalraider]

in much of the cold war years supporting israel against the arab nations was seen as a strict no no by most indian government officials due to the internal strife among muslims regarding the palestine issue as well as being seen to support probably the most militaristic U.S ally openly, india as stated policy has always supported the right of a free palestine as well as a free israel for along time ;however the question of human rights in palestine remained a bone of contention in india officially recognising israel, this changed during the madrid peace conferences and finally peace was on the horizon, hence india opened official diplomatic realtions with israel in 1992 only.but india had already recognised israel as a nation in september 1950.

Because India was ruled by cowards and degenerates who were too afraid that the domestic Muslim population would rise up in revolt. This was besides the fact that Israel provided tacit help and support during India's wars against China and Pakistan.

My question is, why so early? India is a freedom of religion state...with a few notorious exceptions. It may be, and I believe it is, a question of "getting around to it" rather than one of deliberate cold shoulder. India has only been an independant state for a half century. It has really had it's hands full with some pretty important problems and recognizing israel probably was not on the top priority list for quite a while. I have to give India a pass on this one.

I think the indians have always recognized Israel.

I recall a story of Chief Sitting Bull's great-grandson, who was part Jewish, went to Israel for his bar mitzvah.

That's exactly what I was saying. You people have no brain to understand waht is happening around you or even if you know you are all helpless citizen of Pakistan. So how can you take decisions, leave apart understand why India takes decisions.

India recognised Israel as nation in 1950, but the two nations did not build diplomatic relationship until 1992, because India did not want to worsen her already stretched relationship with muslims both inside and outside.

[Adux]

Has anyone thought about how NAM played a role in this?

Israel is playing what Pakistan played for USA during the US-China bonhomie by Nixon. India will have a stronger strategic and defence partnership with the US in coming years, and Israel is the primary reason for that.

Oh....good manners....thats a nice word...just invented. I have seen many posts of yours in other sections where you have used very good manners, leave aside good manners.
But i see a deep rooted hatred towards India in the thread starters intention by posting this thread. So I reacted naturally.
As your Govt. tries to sweep the issue of terrorism under the carpet of war hysteria; similarly the thread starter is wasting time to question Indias internal decision making process.

[Infanteer Two Seven]

hey guys relax
this thread is an obvious flame bait don't get sucked in
