Aman ki Asha (Hindi: अमन की आशा, Urdu: امن کی آشا) is a campaign jointly started by The Jang group in Pakistan and The Times of India group in India. This aims for mutual peace between the two nations in South Asia. It started on 1st of January 2010.
Background
"Peace efforts between India and Pakistan are the real need of the hour and only prudence, foresightedness and sincerity can do wonders for both countries."
This was stated by former federal minister for information, Javed Jabbar while addressing a seminar held on "Indo-Pak Peace Prospects" at the Department of International Relation (IR), University of Karachi (KU), under its programme on Peace Studies and Conflict Resolution. Jabbar, a veteran media personality and analyst, was of the view that India being a bigger country in the region needs to give more leverage to smaller states like Pakistan.
The two leading media houses of India and Pakistan - The Times of India and the Jang Group - have come together to develop a stronger track in the diplomatic and cultural relations between India and Pakistan. "Aman ki Asha: Destination Peace" looks beyond the confines of a 62-year-old political boundary to the primal bonds that tie together the two people.
