Abstract
The Pakistan-India relationship since 1947 has been the product of a sharpened sense of Hindu-Muslim animosity which led to the division of British India. It has always been unpredictable with a strong inclination towards a sudden upsurge of hostility and an ever waiting-in-the-wings of blame-game such as any incidence of violence, protest, bomb attacks in any one country is immediately blamed on the other. The unresolved J & K issue has been one of the major ones which has further poisoned the relations, in spite of creating professions of goodwill and making a new beginning towards better relations between the two countries. Due to the continuation of this venomous atmosphere, even during relative periods of peace the military preparedness continues abated on both sides both in the conventional and nuclear weaponry. From partition to the present both states have been involved in four major wars besides many military confrontations as well. The fluctuations in relations have persisted through changes in leaders and governments of both countries.
