SUBJECT: MEDIA REACTION: AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN, 
INDIA-PAKISTAN, COPENHAGEN, INDIA-BANGLADESH; NEW 
DELHI. 
 
This countrywide cable reports on relevant media 
reaction/opinion from India's large non-English press. 
The Mission reports on English-language media via email 
through the daily "Early Edition" summary. 
 
-------------------- 
AFGHANISTAN-PAKISTAN 
-------------------- 
 
¶1. "OBAMA'S AF-PAK STRATEGY," op-ed in December 9 
right-of-center Hindi daily, DAINIK JAGRAN: "It seems 
very unlikely that America's work will be over in 18 
months. The Taliban will sit tight to execute their 
plans till the Americans leave. There are, however, 
crucial elements in this strategy that hint at a new 
turn. Obama has spelt out very clearly as never before, 
the threat to the US from extremists in the Af-Pak 
area. The success of Obama's Af-Pak strategy will not 
be decided in Kabul or Washington, but in Islamabad." 
 
-------------- 
INDIA-PAKISTAN 
-------------- 
 
¶2. "THE WAIT FOR A NEW BEGINNING," op-ed in December 9 
right-of-center Hindi daily, DAINIK JAGRAN: "The 
resumption of talks will benefit New Delhi. It will 
send a message to the Taliban and other jihadis that 
the relationship between the two countries is on the 
mend. What Pakistan is doing against them is what the 
two countries should be doing together. Such statements 
like a limited war against Pakistan made by the Indian 
Army chief are irresponsible and provocative. Prime 
Minister Manmohan Singh has reiterated that people to 
people contact should deepen. It is a welcome 
statement."

COPENHAGEN 
---------- 
 
¶3. "KILLER WEATHER: GLOBAL AWARENESS," editorial in 
December 10 Guwahati Assamese centrist, AJIR DAINIK 
BATORI: "The world community expects the U.S. President 
to set an example by taking a positive stand on helping 
poor and developing nations, over and above the bold 
ecological measures he envisages for his own country. 
America is largely responsible for polluting the 
environment. The situation would not have reached such 
a stage had the world's richest nation accepted the 
Kyoto Protocol.  Therefore, America should not only 
cooperate with other nations but also shoulder a part 
of poor nations' economic burden." 
 
¶4. "COPENHAGEN: APPROACH OF SANITY REQUIRED," opinion 
piece in December 10 left of center Marathi Daily, 
Aapla Mahanagar: "A huge industrialized country like 
America wants to continue its careless, consumerist and 
anti-environment lifestyle. How much ever the world 
relents to America's demands and reduces its carbon 
 
NEW DELHI 00002470  002 OF 002 
 
 
emissions, America is not going to change its lifestyle 
and so the impending danger to the world continues. 
That is the reason why America refuses to do any 
international agreement on this problem. Its economic 
interests force it to behave this way." 
 
¶5. "CLIMATE SUMMIT:  BACK TO SQUARE ONE," editorial in 
December 10 centrist Gujarati daily, DIVYA 
BHASKAR: "The ongoing summit is doomed to fail as the 
Denmark draft leaked under mysterious circumstances 
reveals the ulterior intentions of rich nations to 
tighten the screws on the developing nations on carbon 
emissions issue. The only reason behind failure to 
achieve consensus is the obstinate stance of the 
developed world that has enormously harmed the 
environment but want to pass the buck on poor 
nations. Copenhagen is nothing but a ruse by the 
developed nations to get rid of the Kyoto protocol."

INDIA-BANGLADESH 
---------------- 
 
¶6. "GOOD NEIGHBORLY RELATION," editorial in 
December 9 independent Kolkata Bengali ANANDABAZAR 
PATRIKA: "India should positively respond to 
indications of changes that the Bangladesh 
government is now showing. If it remains neglected 
by New Delhi for a long time, Bangladesh will have 
no alternative other than turning to China. Will 
that be helpful to serve India's interests? New 
Delhi should also hand over Bangladeshi criminals, 
detained in India. Let both countries become good 
neighbors in their own interest."
