New Delhi: At 34, Pakistan's first woman Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani
Khar is about half the age of her counterparts worldwide and as this
head-turner heads into talks with our own External Affairs minister SM
Krishna, both her youth and her beauty are dominating the buzz.
But Khar does have other credentials to her credit. Born into one of Pakistan's most prominent families, her uncle was the man 'My Feudal Lord' was written about. She's completed a management degree in Pakistan and received another at the University of Massachusetts in the US.
A keen trekker and a polo enthusiast, this mother of two also runs Lahore's posh Polo Lounge.
But none of these necessarily will help her with the tricky task at hand - steering Pakistan's rough relations with the US or healing broken ties with India.
But on this visit it will be her ability to balance more than the books that matters. She will have to handle relations with India with a light touch, while avoiding criticism back home from hardliners and the military of being too soft.
