Title ProperIndia - Pakistan Relations
Other Title Information a study from India’s smart power strategy
LanguageENG
AuthorBehera, Kishore Kumar ;  Kishore Kumar Behera
Summary / Abstract (Note)India’s relations with Pakistan are characterized by mutual bickering, sinister wrangling, verbal dual, and simmering hostility which have been going on since the day of their Independence. Pakistan’s sponsorship of militancy and terrorism has made relations as bad as in the immediate aftermath of independence. So, India’s policy towards Pakistan has oscillated like a pendulum and Pakistan has now become India’s the most difficult neighbor and cannot be dealt with like India’s other South Asian neighbours because of number of factors like its strategic significance for outside powers like China and the USA, its military, nuclear and missile capabilities and its territorial dispute over Kashmir after bifurcation of Jammu and Kashmir into two Union territories. In this context, G Paarthasarathy, former Indian High Commissioner has observed that India-Pakistan reconciliation is like trying to treat two patients whose only disease is an allergy to each other.
