THE ESSAY BEGINS...
The relations between India and Pakistan, two nations near in location yet far in their interests and world view, has been undergoing much changes in the recent past. Originating from the same undivided India, the two countries have been engaged in a relationship of hot and cold war, on and off, ever since their creation. Having fought three wars in 1947, 1962 and 1971, the countries have escalated international tension by developing nuclear weapons. India being a responsible country with a strong democratic setup is held to be much stable than Pakistan, which lacks a steady history of democracy.
The relations which had made much progress in 1999 with the establishment of transportation between the two countries, was set to strengthen with India granting 'most favored nation9 status to Pakistan. Bilateral trade and inter-people communication were taking the relations to a new level, till the Indian Parliament got attacked in 2001, which initiated yet another military standoff.
Bilateral relations have been going though phases of ups and downs, which reached its lowest point with the attacks on Pathankot air base and Uri army base. The distrust caused has led India to retaliate on a diplomatic scale with a retrained foreign policy to alienate Pakistan on international platforms.
The whole Pakistan-India puzzle revolves around Kashmir question, but both nations should realize that rhey are lagging behind in development while focusing on war. Bilateral talks should be increased so as to develop trust, so that both the nations progress on the path of peace and prosperity.
