| Summary/Abstract |
Despite tense atmosphere that continues to prevail between India and Pakistan since Mumbai terror plot 2008, the hopes to build an atmosphere of peace and confidence between them have not been jettisoned. Their relations are marred by confrontation, crisis, and conflict but they have agreed upon and signed a great deal of CBMs since Independence. In the era of nuclear, chemical and cruise missile in the hands of nation states in general, and India and Pakistan in particular, CBMs seem to be alternative weapons to guarantee peace and security in the interest of humanity. In initial years of partition, the challenges for the political leadership of both the countries were many, for that purpose, they had put their endeavours to resolve all the minor disputes arising out of partition.
