Devising an Indian policy on Sanctions for Pakistan

Hindustan Times  

On-going violence in Afghanistan has raised demands to sanction Pakistan for its support of the Afghan Taliban. A recent example of India imposing sanctions was when it withdrew the most favoured nation status granted to Pakistan after the Pulwama attack in Kashmir. In the wake of the attack in Pulwama in February 2019, there are pressures on India to toughen its sanctions regime and consider imposing sanctions on Pakistan. This paper analyses the feasibility of India imposing sanctions on Pakistan. Finally, using India’s own experience of being subjected to sanctions and the experience of other countries, this paper recommends a multi-pronged approach to sanctioning a country, rather than imposing sanctions in part or in silos.
