The South Asia is known for the tensions and perpetual tussles between the two nuclear
armed neighbors, India and Pakistan. However, the opening of Kartarpur Corridor on
the 9th November 2019, the Kartarpur Gurdwara inside Pakistan‟s Narowal district has
emerged as a symbol of love-in-the-time-of-cholera, especially at the time when both
archrivals are militarily, diplomatically and politically at loggerheads over the Kashmir
conflict. Kartarpur Corridor is an initiative that has the potential to change the longstanding political dynamics of the region. The people from India can travel visa-free to
Pakistan through scenic Kartarpur Corridor to visit and pray at the Kartarpur Gurdwara.
Secretary General of United Nations Mr. Antonio Guterres while on his three days‟ visit
to Pakistan paid a special tribute to Kartarpur Corridor on February 18th, 2020 terming it
as the “Corridor of Hope”. This research seeks to acknowledge and analyze the
prospects of this initiative in achieving its full potential of changing bitter realities
between the South Asian neighbors and paving way for cordiality to replace hatred. The
researchers have had the chance to participate in the inauguration ceremony for the
Kartarpur Corridor held on November 9th‟ 2019; therefore, this research is based on
direct and indirect observational method, with qualitative research analysis. The
hypothesis is based on the understanding that „Kartarpur Corridor is a possible
breakthrough towards long term regional cooperation in Indo-Pakistan Subcontinent‟.
