Current paper elucidates about War and peace the two basic elements of
international politics. Starting with the debates among scholars of the subject, the paper
argue critically the shortcomings of feminist school of thought over their assumption of
peace and prevention of war through gendered politics. The theme of the paper is that,
the gender either feminity in particular or masculinity in general have no impact on
politics, both the domestic and international one. The international politics is driven
by the national interest and regulatory force is beyond gender’s control. This argument
is applied and testified in two south Asian states of India and Pakistan. As the feminist
advocates the notion of cooperative women in power results in the harbinger of peace.
Though, both India and Pakistan had experienced women as head of government but
the idealized assumption of peace could not be nurtured and pattern of politics remained
unchanged.
