INTODUCTION..
Relations
between
India and
Pakistan have been strained by a
number of historical and political
issues, and are defined by the
violent partition of British India in
1947, the Kashmir dispute and the
numerous military conflicts fought
between
the
two
nations.
Consequently, even though the two
South Asian nations share historic,
cultural, ethnic, geographic, and
economic links, their relationship
has been plagued by hostility and
suspicion.

There is a need to embrace an
overarching strategic stability regime and
to shun aggressive security doctrines to
reduce the possibility of a nuclear
conflict.
The problems of terrorism and Non-State
Actors need to be addressed jointly
through institutionalised mechanisms.
Water issues should be resolved through
the mechanisms provided by the Indus
Basin Treaty and should not be allowed to
degenerate into a serious source of
conflict.
Confidence-building measures should be
pursued to alleviate the trust deficit but
should not be used as a substitute for the
resolution of disputes.
Economic co-operation and trade should
be facilitated to develop mutuality of
interest.
India and Pakistan need to understand
each others legitimate interests in
Afghanistan and pursue them without
