Alas it begins anew with the Indian Media; as per always blowing out of proportion the reality of the matter. I recently saw a clip on NDTV where fashion guru's were brought on to comment about the newly assigned Pakistani Foreign minister and the headlines that were propagated throughout the country in reference to the recent visit to India in order to begin the diplomatic dialogue, which had come to a halt following the Mumbai attacks by Pakistani trained terrorists.
When we look at the relationship between the two countries we see animosity and utter mistrust, bearing in mind the accusations posted by each to the other when it came to instability in the region, irrespective of that in my personal opinion the Indian Media should be looking at the visit in a seriously political manner, not gauge the young, glamorous FM on the basis of what she was wearing or her background. One fashion Guru reported 'Her style does not represent the women of Pakistan', animating the fact that most of the country's population lives below the poverty line. My question is this; Should she show up wearing rags to such a high profile meeting ? Since when has humility been so imperative to diplomatic and international ties ?
What the Indian media needs to highlight is the importance of the exchange of this dialogue and how the arch enemies can settle differences that have led to 3 hard fought wars between the countries.
Some comments in regards to Ms Khar's arrival were 'Pak Bomb Lands in Karachi', with all due respect brother Indians, she is a married woman, mother of 3 children - how can you hold her good sense of fashion and affluence against her, also I feel this is utterly disrespectful to someone who is representing a country that has a significant conservative element to it. Headlines ascertaining a woman's beauty should be reserved for actresses and socialites, Hina Rabbani Khar is none of that !
