| Summary/Abstract |
The India–Pakistan relation caught in the quagmire of hopes and despair, following the disillusionment of jinxed legacy of partition and its results, now need to unwind and move ahead the bumpy road, strategically and pragmatically. The turmoil between the two neighboring nations, for over six decades, has drifted them apart to the point of animosity, generating ego clash more than political and economic ones. The anti-Indian animus is inherently ingrained in the psyche, with military calling all shots in Pakistan. The fissures in the bilateral relation may be mended diplomatically and strategically ensuring palpable peace in the region. Prescriptions may be drawn to resolve the bilateral relations but unless orges in the domestic domain of the nations are mitigated, countries are stable internally, external solutions to any issue would not ensure lasting effect. Military forces may counter external aggression but Socio economic, political stability is always a pre condition for peace to prevail.
