Torrential rains and flash floods have caused an unimaginable disaster in Pakistan. Half of the country’s croplands have been washed away. As a result, the prices of the common commodities, especially vegetables, have reached tremendous heights, exacerbating our long-running inflation problem. Given the situation, the government has announced that they are mulling importing food from India in order to relieve the flood-induced supply shortage. This has led to widespread backlash and opposition from people belonging to all walks of life. As a matter of fact, the imports from India could benefit us greatly. But it is also pertinent to mention that India’s inhumane treatment of Kashmiri Muslims is a stark reminder of their anti-Muslim approach. However, turning to India for urgently-needed supplies does not mean having to relinquish our stance on Kashmir. Instead, it could turn out to be an opportunity to cooperate on shared problems such as climate change.
