Will Pakistan convincingly act against terrorists? If it does, should India enter into a dialogue with it?

 CURRENT ISSUE JANUARY 14, 2002
COVER STORY: PAKISTAN
The General in a Jam
Under pressure from the US, Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf deserted the Taliban regime, his long-time ally in Afghanistan. India now says he must stop supporting the terrorists in Kashmir. The US concurs. Will he deliver? In an EXCLUSIVE analysis India Today looks at the options available to the General and the knife-edge he—and the Indian subcontinent— stands on. It also analyses the situation from Delhi's perspective and closely studies the list of India's most wanted: the 20 terrorists demanded by the Government from their safe havens inside Pakistan.
