16. We Should Be Able to Do Something

My original thought was that India is a major trading partner, surely we should be able to raise this issue with them to cause a change.

Pakistan is one of the largest recipients of our foreign aid, why do we not add improvement of this situation as a condition to the aid?

As with all issues, things only happen with awareness followed requests for action.

I do not know which of the Congress members are involved in the trade and foreign aid negotiations, and was hopeful that some here would know or have actual contacts with them.

As a starting point, the first step is to raise awareness, as I was truly surprised to read this information.
