This study investigates and analyzes in the historical background of
India-Pakistan relations in order to understand the nature of their association and
how their mutual relations can be improved. It argues that the history of these
countries, throughout show their political rivalry and military conflicts that has
put them far behind as compared to the other nations of the world, in economic
terms. However, if they apply the principle of co-existence, as the basic guiding
principle for their relationship, tensions can be reduced and as a result steps
towards normalcy, between the two nations, could be taken. After independence,
India and Pakistan indulged in confrontations and conflicts, wars and joined
different foreign-based security alliances as hedge against each other. This study
intends to examine how, despite being locked in a pattern of enduring conflict,
these two countries can still convene, negotiate and produce agreements and
work together if they start following the principle of coexistence. Current research
is significant because it will help to trace out the historical rivalry between the
two. Author believes that academic and intellectual exchanges, combined with
socio-cultural coordination can help create better understanding not only between
people of both countries but also result in bringing peace to South Asia.
Historians shave not yet given proper attention to the subject and it is high
time to understand and underline what kind of relationship these countries
should develop and how both can address their issues. Therefore, this paper may
be considered in the category of persuasive writing as it aims at persuading the
concerned parties to develop friendly ties.
