Abstract
South Asia today is in limelight of the world again, this
time due to the ongoing terrorism in the region.
Amongst other states in this region are India and
Pakistan, the two antagonist and nuclear neighbors.
The relations between the two countries are marred
with tensions, conflicts and wars. At present the
ongoing bilateral dialogue and peace process has once
again been disrupted due to rising tensions between the
two regarding cross border terrorism. This study
attempts to investigate why there is urgency for interstate dialogue between India and Pakistan. The paper
further highlights how the issue of terrorism has
adversely affected the peace efforts between the two
countries and also the overall peace and security of
South Asia. The paper concludes with the outcome that
terrorism in the region can only be curtailed with joint
efforts especially with regard to India and Pakistan.
Key words: Terrorism, India, Pakistan, peace, dialogue
