| Summary/Abstract |
The Indo-Pakistan conflict is the direct consequence of the imbalance of power between the two states and Pakistani non-acceptance of this imbalance. India has always looked upon Pakistan as a sovereign state and has conducted its relations accordingly. It would be an ideal solution if both India and Pakistan could sort out their differences diplomatically and if pressure from the International community as well as Indian / Chinese influence could scale back the military – jihadi elite and promote genuine democracy in the country. This could lead Pakistan to become another Turkey / Germany or Japan in the region and bringing in prosperity to the area. But according to Neo-realists, the gross imbalance between India and Pakistan and Pakistani attempts to balance Indian strength rather than bandwagon it, will not allow any entente to emerge between the two countries.
