Pakistan-India: Peace or hostility | Revised Article

This is a revised version of last article on the topic of Pakistan-India: Peace or Hostility. This article reveals more critical and important points related to Pakistan-India relationships and this impact on this region of Asia.

Pakistan and India were born out of conflict in 1947. Both, since then, are at loggerheads. Their hostility has stunted the potential of region to blossom into a hub of peace, growth, development and prosperity. Three full-scale wars have failed to supply both Islamabad and New Delhi a lesson of peace. Rather two sides are busy in piling up military hardware aimed at each other. A hand extended towards friendship is chopped off by the hand entrenched in chauvinism. Kashmir is a major cause of concern for both states. It is still unresolved. Islamabad says that Kashmir is a part of its territory and it must be liberated from Indian side. However, India asserts that this matter has been settled and there will be no partition on religious lines again.

In this environment of unabated hostility, there are also some aberrations of promoting peace. The Simla Accord could have proved to be a real instigator of peace. But Pakistan’s close alliance with China, Bhutto’s mercurial style of politics, Indra’s tough stance and U.S.-China détente prevented peace process. India regional ambitions to play power games always hinder every genuine move from Islamabad’s quarter. Military of Pakistan has vested interests in pursuing hostility with India. In fact, Islamabad’s foreign and security policies revolve around India.

Regional Stability and Pakistan

South Asia is a region of diverse peoples, assorted cultures, but multiple conflicts. We have an example of Europe before us that how it transformed itself from a warring region to a unified region of vast potential. We gaze at Europe having single visa, one currency (euro), stronger than dollar, and one parliament to reflect on the decisions taken by individual parliaments. It is painful for South Asia which is nowhere near normalization, much less cohesion. It is wracked by internal conflicts and outer dangers. The two main countries, India and Pakistan, are not even on speaking terms. Kashmir is the major bone of contention between them. Regional stability is hostage to this decades-old territorial feud. Trade and economic ties are well nigh absent between them. Thus, mindsets rooted in the past have overcome modern realities of contemporary, globalized era.
