The ITI Train Project, in the current global context

 ( Espacial Report )

In our country, in today's Pakistani territory, the British laid a railway line from Karachi to Ko Thadi in 1861 and started train service. In 1961, during the rule of President Ayub Khan, the centenary of railways was celebrated. At that time, Pakistan Western The Eastern and Eastern Railways were developing rapidly in the region and the plan to run an electric train from Lahore to Khanewal was nearing completion. The railway system in Pakistan was stable and standard. Until 1970, Pakistan Railways was for-profit and the largest government department, which began to decline in the 1970s and the railway department went into deficit instead of profit.

In 2011, when Pakistan Railways was one and a half centuries old, I wrote a book called "Rail of a Century" which was published in the same year. At that time, the railway department was almost 50% destroyed. Due to the depletion of oil in railway locomotives, trains often stood at stations for eight to ten hours.

Hundreds of kilometers of railway tracks were closed during this period and some are still closed but at the same time a train from Turkey and Iran from Islamabad to Istanbul under the 2009 plan ran in August 2010 and immediately Bangladesh and India He requested Pakistan to facilitate the transportation of goods through this railway line to Iran, Turkey, and later to Central Asia and Europe after expansion, but since then the governments coming up to 2018, No train has run since then, while many rail connectivity projects have been completed in various countries around the world, with China playing a key role.

In countries like Japan, the USA, Spain, France, and China, the speed limit of passenger trains has been increased to 450 km per hour. Our neighbor India has started train service up to thousands of feet in the foothills of the Himalayas, Occupied Kashmir and other areas, and in some parts of India, the speed of passenger trains has been increased to 250 mph, while India has railways in countries like Afghanistan and Iran. Started big track laying projects.

China has started railway service from Central Asia to Iran. India is trying to compete with China with the support of the United States, Britain and their allies, but our governments were under pressure from unknown Western countries. That we not only destroyed our entire railway system but also put the project on hold after the lone train run under the ECO Economic Cooperation Organization in 2009 and 2010.

While the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi established relations with Iran and paid an official visit to Iran in 2016 and during this visit a railway project agreement was signed between Iran Railways and IRCON Indian Railway Construction Limited. Iranian Sistan and Baluchistan near Gwadar. I am the Iranian port of Chabahar on the Makran coast near the Arabian Sea and the Strait of Hormuz on the Persian Gulf. Under this agreement, a railway track was to be laid from Chabahar to Zahedan, the provincial capital of Iranian Sistan and Baluchestan.

The project to lay 628 km of the railway line at a cost of 1. 1.6 billion was signed in 2016 and the agreement was set for completion on July 15, 2022. It should be noted that Zahedan is the second city of Iran after our last border town Taftan on the Pak-Iran border, after Taftan the Iranian territory begins and the first city is Mir Java which became Pakistan after the demarcation of the border in the sixties. Gave to Iran and in the British era when Rohri, Sibi, Quetta in Balochistan then from Quetta to Chaman on Afghan border, Sibi Harnai section, Bostan Tarub section laid railway lines, World War II started in 1914. As it was happening, the British started laying the Iranian railway line from Quetta keeping in view the strategic position of the area.

This railway line was laid 32 km west of Quetta from Spizand to Zahedan city of Iran in the west. At that time its length from Quetta to Zahedan was 700 km, now its length up to Taftan is a little more than 612 km. This railway line was named the War Line after World War I. Trains have been playing on this track since 1922. From the founding of Pakistan until 1985, the Zahedan railway station was staffed by Pakistan Railways, with a passenger train departing from Quetta on Saturdays and returning on Wednesdays, while goods trains ran almost daily. Now occasionally a train runs on this track. Here India had to lay the railway line from Chabahar to Zahedan.

District Chaghi is bounded on the west by Zahedan and on its northwest by the Iranian border with Afghanistan and from here the distance to Zaranj region of Afghanistan is 950 km while its total distance to Turkmenistan is 1827 km ie here the middle part from Afghanistan. Is followed by Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, while the sea distance from Chabahar to Dubai is 353 nautical miles and to Karachi, 456 nautical miles, and the distance between Chabahar and Mumbai is 845 nautical miles.

 The port of Gwadar in Pakistan is also important on the Makran coast and the Arabian Sea. The sea here is deeper than Chabahar, but the port of Chabahar on the Arabian Sea is deeper than Iran's old and busy port of Bandar Abbas. Now Iran's problem is that 90% of its population is in the western part and the eastern part of the country is less developed and less populated. Iran wants to change this imbalance in terms of population density. At present, 85% of Iran's trade is through the port of Bandar Abbas, then the port of Bandar Abbas is shallow and dense.

Ships weighing 250,000 tons cannot anchor here. Such ships either have to go to the United Arab Emirates or are anchored in deep seawater and taken to Bandar Abbas by ships weighing 100,000 tons. Iran wants to get rid of Chabahar from the need of the UAE and on the one hand, it wants access to Russia and Central Asia and on the other hand, it wants to reduce its population and especially the burden of Bandar Abbas by making Chabahar a free trade zone as compared to Gwadar. Iran is also naming it the Golden Gate, while India's plan was to reach Chabahar, the only Iranian port on the Arabian Sea, from the port of Mumbai, very close to Gwadar, to Afghanistan, and then to Central Asia. And this railway line will be further expanded later.

On the other hand, in February 2016, the train from China reached Tehran, the capital of Iran, after a distance of 10399 km and an altitude of thousands of feet, covering a distance of 10399 km to Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Turkmenistan. The beginning

This is the ancient Silk Road. As far as the Indo-Iranian railway line was concerned, at the same time when Donald Trump was elected President of the United States, his policies against Iran became tougher, and President Trump signed the JCPOA Agreement. What Obama did with Iran, along with the veto powers of the European Union, Germany, and the Security Council was canceled, then the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi also started abstaining from Iran and did not start work on this project. Iran will not be able to take any action on this delay because Iran has weak diplomatic and economic relations in the world, but on July 15, 2020, the Iranian Minister of Transport and Urban Development Mohammad Islami canceled the project.

India is shocked by Iran's decision in terms of quartet strategy and its monopoly dream of reaching Iran, Afghanistan and Central Asia has been shattered, which India is setting up here against China and Pakistan through the Chabahar project. Was Another reason for Iran withdrawing the Zahedan railway project from India to Chabahar is a 25-year agreement with China to invest 400 400 billion in Iran. In this context, the regular program of ITI train ie Istanbul, Tehran, Islamabad train has also started again from March 2021.

As far as Pakistan-Iran is concerned, the railway network in Iran was formed much later, especially after the revolution in 1979, while before the independence from Pakistani territory, from 1922, passenger trains and freight trains from Kota to Zahedan, Iran. Few people know that until the sixties, Iran was a poorer and more backward country than Pakistan.

 The RCD Regional Cooperation Development Cooperation Agreement between Turkey, Iran, and Pakistan was signed in July 1964. Since then, the Quetta-Taftan highway has been called the RCD Highway.

By 1979, major changes had taken place in the region. The monarchy ended in Iran. The military government came to power in Pakistan and the former Soviet Union deployed troops in Afghanistan. Thus, by 1985, the RCD had become a dysfunctional organization. In 1985, the RCD was renamed the ECO-Economic Co-operation Organization, which included Pakistan, Iran, and Turkey, as well as Afghanistan after 1990, when the former Soviet Union disintegrated. The newly independent Central Asian states of Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan also joined. The total area of ​​these ten ECO countries is 7937197 square kilometers with a population of 520000000.

The annual GDP is 6. 6.3 trillion and the majority of the population in all ten countries is Muslim. These countries are rich in oil, gas, and other resources, and compared to the Middle East and Arab countries, there is democracy instead of monarchies and the literacy rate is higher and the religious, historical, cultural ties between the people of these countries are deep and old. Are

Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey are the countries that have important sea routes and ports that can facilitate trade with Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan by sea.

 Pakistan has given this facility to the neighboring country Afghanistan from the port of Karachi. Then as far as Arab-Ajam relations are concerned, the people of Central Asia including Afghanistan go to other Arab countries including Saudi Arabia and African countries from these three countries. While Turkey is a country located on both the continents of Asia and Europe, it will be easier to enter Europe by train from Istanbul to Tehran and Islamabad by land and by train, especially trade.

Similarly, Pakistan's position in the 'C-Pack' One Belt One The road project is at an intersection that is connected to the Pak-China border from Khanjarab to the railway track, Hawaiian, Dera Ismail Khan to Zhob, Boston, Quetta. ITI will be connected to the railway network from ITI ie Istanbul, Tehran, Turkey.

Unfortunately, our Bostan, Zhob narrow gauge railway track was closed in 1985. Then when Owais Ghani became the Governor of Balochistan, he informed the then President Pervez Musharraf about the plan to lay a broad gauge railway line here. At that time this 285 km track was costing Rs. 10 million per km according to PC One and this work could have been completed in just one year. There were people close to him who had a capital of more than Rs 2.85 billion and even if one of them was on a contract basis for eight to ten years, that is, on the basis of earning revenue for the trains running on this track up to this point. If we talked, it would become a track.

Now in March 2021, the ITI train started by the government with the cooperation of Turkey and Iran. The length of the Turkish railway line is 1990 km. The length of the track in Iran is 2600 km and the total length of the railway line in Pakistan is 1950 km. Is.

This railway line will enter Balochistan via Islamabad, Lahore, Rohri, Jacobabad. The railway track from Islamabad to Rohri can be said to be standard because this track has been tested on the basis of daily trains arriving and departing to Quetta. The railway line is very old. The whole area consists of rocky mountains and deserts. This railway line from Spiznand to Zahedan was laid by the British in 1914 and the train service from here started in 1922, ie almost one hundred years are being completed.

 At that time, the British were in danger of invading the Ottoman Caliphate and Germany from here in the First World War. The same was the case in the Second World War when the railway line was given full attention again. It should be noted that the British Had laid the railway line on the basis of a huge deficit in the whole of Balochistan and in severe weather conditions and as long as the British rule remained here but in the whole of Balochistan the railway was in constant deficit and its deficit to the railway companies operating in other parts of India. Was met by deducting a certain rate of profit. Now that is not the case and whether it is Bostan to Zhob section or Spizand to Taftan if the railway service is standard then these railway lines are profitable.

Pakistan is not paying attention to the railways at the moment, although at the moment the railways are booming all over the world again because in the next few years the use of fossil fuels will be abandoned all over the world. Motor vehicles are coming on the roads. They are battery powered and the battery is charged. For the past half-century, trains in the United States, Europe, Canada, Japan, and other developed countries have been running on electricity, and since these trains run on their own tracks.

Therefore, they receive uninterrupted power through the direct wire, which is much more powerful than electric-charged batteries, which is why trains in developed countries now reach speeds of up to 450 kilometers per hour, which is the air. Half the speed of the plane, then the journey of the train is safer than the road traffic, so now more attention is being paid to the railways in the world, which is now less cost-effective and faster.

If we look at the development of railways in the last twenty years, only our neighbors Iran, Afghanistan, India, China have built thousands of kilometers of new railway lines and laid them at such high and difficult places. The human intellect is stunned.

 Even today, coincidentally, the train from Turkey to Iran via Pakistan is as important today as it was during the Turkish Caliphate. In today's context, the importance of ITI train service is as important as in Russia, China, Central Asia, the Middle East, and South Asia is far more interconnected and more prosperous in terms of economic, industrial, and trade activities, then today most of these countries have their own railway system which can be extended to other countries. To be connected to the railway system.

Pakistan's railway lines are connected to India and Iran and in the future, there is a strong possibility that Pakistan railway lines will be connected to China and Afghanistan soon. As far as Istanbul, Tehran, Islamabad train service is concerned, it is basic. Is an eco-country project that will soon be joined by Central Asian countries, including Afghanistan, as well as the ITI project in the near future under China's One Built One Road, C-Pack project from China and Central. Under the Russian Commonwealth in Asia, Russia will also be connected to the world's longest railway line, while access from Turkey to Western Europe and from Russia to Eastern Europe will be possible under the railway network.

The United States is still the world's largest economy and defense, but China is now the world's second-largest economy, and according to some experts, if that continues, China will be the world's first economic power by 2025. Russia currently ranks second in defense and military, and China third.

103 years after World War I, 75 years after World War II and 22 years after the end of the Cold War in 1990, the alignment between the two groups in the countries of the world is largely complete. It was a critical crisis year in which there was talk of a third world war. It is almost certain that this war will not be fought on the borders but under proxy war in the future as well. That is, just as the Hijaz Railway was damaged during the First World War, so too will the ITI train project be damaged.

Some painful questions

Espacial Report 

How strange that this world entered the modern age because of Europe because the United States is actually an extension of Europe. Why all the fountains of invention, invention, research, and creation came from there? Where and why is the rest of the world sleeping? And why is it still living on imitation?

How did Europe become the most important military, political, economic, and cultural center by the end of the 15th century and become more active from 1500 to 1750 and rule the American continent and seas? However, the great Asian powers, the Ottoman Empire, the Safavids in Iran (Persia), the Mughal rulers in India, and the Ming and Qing dynasties in China were on the rise. In 1775, 80% of the world's economy revolved around Asia. Even the economies of India and China alone accounted for two-thirds of the world's production, compared to Europe's "economic dwarfism" but in 1700 to 1850 only 100 years of total power. The center moved to Europe when it gradually conquered much of Asia by defeating in several wars. By 1900, Europe dominated the world economy and most of the region. By 1950, Western Europe and the United States were jointly producing 50% of world production, while China's share had shrunk to 5%. New world rules and regulations were emerging. Today, in terms of clothing, thinking, food, living, movies, sports, medicine, politics, war, etc., everyone is "white" and in the race to be "more white", even if it is "black, brown, and yellow". Am

It so happened that when Europe, America, and especially the seas were being conquered, the Asian powers had no interest in the maritime world and if we go even further back we see that the ships, the fleets are sailing on distant shores. Half of their crew would die on the voyage. There were no pirates, no hurricanes, no travel difficulties, but it was a "marine disease" called "scurvy" which caused bleeding from the gums and other fibers of the victims. They would get fever and jaundice, uncontrollable movement of hands and feet, teeth would fall out and open wounds would appear. Between the 16th and 18th centuries when the world's population was much less than it is today, this contagious disease. About 2 million sailors died as a result of the "screw". No treatment was effective, but that changed in 1747 when James Lind, a British physician, successfully experimented with feeding citrus fruits to sailors suffering from the disease.

I had no idea which ingredient in citrus fruits is working. In fact, it was the thing we know today as vitamin C. And we use it, so if we say that the "rich sea vitamin C" gave Europe a clear lead over the seas, it probably wouldn't be too much of a mistake. As a result, Cook, a senior naval officer, and geologist, visited many areas in Britain and Conquered the islands, and paved the way for British naval rule over the world's oceans. Australia is the most famous of these areas. Then came the conquest of Tasmania and New Zealand and the settlement of millions of Europeans in these areas and local cultures and even populations. The end. What we often refer to as "conspiracy" is not a conspiracy to establish rule over the seas, but a difficult and protracted war, the failure of which would be abuse in itself, but cruelty.

The time came when the military, industrial and scientific collaboration began around 1850. Before James Cook's adventures, there was not much technical difference between the Chinese, the Ottomans, and the whites, but the Australian adventurer James Cook did not have a captain, Hussein Pasha, or Why not Captain Diane Chi? Military, industrial, scientific cooperation increased in Europe, why not in the subcontinent? When Britain took a long leap forward, France, Germany, and the United States immediately followed suit, not China. When the gap between the industrial and non-industrial worlds widened, Russia, Italy, and the United States were shocked, while Egypt, Iran, India, and then The great Turks dreamed of enjoying rabbits and listening to their own snoring music, but the truth is that this is what they are doing to this day.

In short, behind successes and failures is a long series of burning questions that need to be considered.

Modi's letter, India-Pakistan relations improvement or time spending Tactics. ?

(Writing: Abu Raja Haider)

Since Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent a letter to Pakistan on Pakistan Day, hopes have been expressed for good relations between the two countries again. It is not that there has been no desire for peace between the two countries in the past. Yes, the prime ministers of the two countries have made positive statements in the past, expressing hope for good relations. However, in the context of security issues, especially in the context of Indian-administered Kashmir, these statements were limited to rhetoric.

If we look at the mutual and unilateral goals of India and Pakistan, experts welcome the progress that has been made in recent times, but at the same time warn that these issues can be resolved in stages, not immediately.

On the occasion of Pakistan Day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi wrote in a message to Imran Khan that "India wants cordial relations with the people of Pakistan. Not only that, recently when Imran Khan had to cry, Modi sent him a message of recovery. Was sent Many other signs of change in the atmosphere have also been seen when the Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan and Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Bajwa made statements in recent days to improve relations with India.

An eight-member Pakistani delegation led by Pakistan's Indus Water Commissioner Syed Mehr Ali Shah is holding talks with its Indian counterparts in New Delhi for the annual Indus Water Treaty negotiations. The talks are taking place after two years. Last month, the directors of military operations of the two countries suddenly declared a ceasefire on the Line of Control and since then the ceasefire has been fully implemented. This sudden announcement of the ceasefire took everyone by surprise and echoed in many quarters that Indian and Pakistani officials were holding behind-the-scenes talks to normalize the situation.

It is also pertinent to mention here that the reason for the current relations and statements between India and Pakistan in diplomatic circles is being termed as 'track to diplomacy'. Following the agreement, some Indian and international newspapers published reports of possible secret talks between Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and his Pakistani counterpart Moeed Yousaf. Yousuf had denied the allegations in a tweet, saying the allegations were baseless. The name of former army chief General Jahangir Karamat also came up again and again, but Jahangir Karamat's Sources close to the matter expressed ignorance in this regard.

Rumors are also circulating in both the countries that the UAE, especially the royal family, is behind the improvement in Pakistan-India relations. In this regard, according to a recent report published by the international news agency Bloomberg, India and Pakistan have begun to follow a four-member "peace blueprint" drawn up by the UAE government for peace.

According to a Bloomberg report, the UAE's foreign minister has been a constant guide in the talks between the two countries, with no official statement yet on the veracity of the news. Has not been denied.

Rauf Hassan, Special Assistant to Prime Minister Imran Khan on Information and Broadcasting, said that Pakistan would always listen to the views of like-minded and close countries and would welcome countries that make suggestions on issues with India. Contrary to what the UAE or the United States have said, the important thing at the moment is that there are talks going on between the two countries. If we look at history, Pakistan has already seen the offer and help of other countries in a positive manner but India has always rejected the interference of any other country by saying that it is its bilateral issue with Pakistan.

Saudi Deputy Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir has also acknowledged that Saudi Arabia is trying to reduce tensions between India and Pakistan, as Saudi Arabia wants peace in the entire region.

 After the recent bitterness in the relations between the two countries, there are signs of some sudden positive changes in the atmosphere, two or three things can be done immediately. Send ambassadors back to both countries, simplify visa policy so that people on both sides can easily visit religious places, resume bilateral trade from the Wagah border.

Whenever there is a sudden announcement between India and Pakistan, we can assume that there is some back-channel diplomacy behind it. The United States is also interested in keeping India and Pakistan in touch.

At this stage, it will be difficult to have a big deal or a big agenda, but immediate progress is possible in matters like trade, people coming and going. But first and foremost, the end of human rights violations in India and Jammu and Kashmir. And progress is needed in resolving the Kashmir dispute.

The importance of Kashmir in India-Pakistan relations can be gauged from the fact that the two countries have so far fought two wars on this issue in 1948 and 1965, and since August 2019, Pakistan has held several international forums on the issue. But he has recorded his protest on the issue of changing the special status of Kashmir and has spoken to the heads of other countries. Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has also recently said that the dream of peace in the subcontinent will remain unfulfilled until the Kashmir issue is resolved.

Pakistan knows that peace talks with India will not be complete without talks on Kashmir. Kashmir has never been removed from the table, so even now if progress is made in the talks, which ended completely after August 2019, it will start with relief in Kashmir, including lifting the ban on movement of people in Kashmir. This includes considering the history of giving Kashmir the right to self-determination, including the restoration of the Internet, and the gradual improvement of the environment.

India does not want a war in the region at the moment. The reason for the slight flexibility in India's attitude is the change in the regional situation and the criticism of India's actions in Kashmir. The third is to distance itself from other players in the region. do not have.

As far as the current situation in the region is concerned, it is very important for India at this time to be a part of the peace plan in Afghanistan and especially the US peace plan. Going back a little, Pakistan has repeatedly accused India of The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has lobbied for blacklisting Pakistan through various sessions to curb terrorist financing.

Pakistan's involvement in the Afghan peace process as a mediator and Biden's election to the US presidency has certainly been a significant opportunity for India to reflect on its position in the region. Biden's arrival means the next two to three years. Until then, the United States will continue to depend on Pakistan, and to acquire enmity in such a situation would be tantamount to isolating itself in the region and globally.

On the other hand, another issue is India's clash with China and China's proximity to Pakistan. India fears that after clashes between China and India in May 2020 and January 2021, and as a result of the growing proximity and unity between Pakistan and China, India will be stranded on the eastern and northern borders.

At the same time, the Modi government's internal problems, which include Code 19, the economy, and the struggles of farmers, are forcing India to take a U-turn. Pakistan's role in the Afghan peace process paves the way between East and West. Will remain as Pakistan is trying to look at its various options in the region as well as the country as a geopolitical economy by moving away from geographical strategy. In short, India is currently pursuing a policy of taking time to breathe and take stock of future matters.

Meaningful Pak-India dialogue is essential for peace and stability in the region

 (Written by Abu Raja Haider)

In his address on the second day of the Islamabad Security Dialogue, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, based on an analysis of global and regional conditions, changes, and dynamics, echoed Prime Minister Imran Khan's message to neighboring India. This was reflected in the Prime Minister's address at the inaugural ceremony of the Security Dialogue on Wednesday, which indicated the inevitability of resolving the Kashmir issue peacefully through dialogue and building mutual relations as civilized neighbors. It was clarified in the address that in view of the illegal declarations and actions taken by New Delhi on August 5, 2019, in violation of UN resolutions regarding Occupied Kashmir, it is possible to move forward unless India takes initiative for peace. Can't see

 The analysis presented by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi after the Army Chief's address to the Islamabad Security Dialogue held in recent days also said that the Pakistani leadership has focused on the economic development of the people under the new Pakistani vision. Made the center of. The Foreign Minister said that Islamabad consciously decided to take part in the efforts for peace and stability instead of being a part of the conflicts in the region and considering the geographical importance of Pakistan as an economic hub. Is being brought before.

This focus on peaceful relations with India by the civilian and military leadership is seen by observers as an attempt to harness the country's economic potential and enhance its prestige internationally. ۔ The ceasefire agreement reached through contacts between Pakistani and Indian border military officials last month and a change in the tone of statements coming from both countries are also being seen in this context. On the second day of the Islamabad Dialogue, the Chief of Army Staff and the Foreign Minister reiterated that the establishment of lasting and lasting peace in the region depends on a peaceful resolution of the Kashmir issue, for which a conducive atmosphere for meaningful dialogue is created. It is India's responsibility to do so.

 A recent letter from the US senators to his Secretary of Defense expressed concern over India's abandonment of democratic values ​​and hinted at possible sanctions or international efforts, including the Moscow Conference, to establish lasting peace in Afghanistan. It is evident that key countries are feeling the need to improve the tense situation in the region. One of the key points made by Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa on the second day of the Islamabad Dialogue is that we have realized that no good can be expected from others outside until our own home is well. Can do He also said that it was time to bury the past and move towards the future.

 The Army Chief further said that strong Pak-India relations could bring East and West Asia closer. He cited a number of Pakistani initiatives in this regard, including allowing Afghanistan to ship its goods to India. He also pointed out the need for world powers to play a greater role in promoting peace and stability in South Asia. Today's changing world, especially the post-Corona virus world, demands that the human aspects of the matter not be neglected in any part of the globe.
