you, however, I believe it is the lack of communication between well the government’s event that forth our Seung Yeon’s, however conjointly the shortage of communication between folks and also the people-to-people contact, that is incredibly necessary and that is missing. That has to be self-addressed and if the governments are not able to try this, I believe the folks themselves ought to be taking the initiative to create up that agreement, where you recognize them eventually cause the powers at play to form positive, that you just grasp will communication occurring as a result of that is the factor, that is extremely missing most likely responsibleness or the lack thereof and impunity.

I think both governments have gotten away with not addressing the main issues of governance. That face their respective countries and their people and whether it is, you know providing adequate health, education, basic services and keeping both populations very distracted with. Often extraneously created cross-border issues and getting away with it, which is the most disappointing basically. The biggest challenge with the visa regime because as long as people keep meeting each other, there’s people-to-people contact, there we can overcome our challenges. You know we can break stereotypes and overcome them the challenges, but the problem is that the military establishment on both sides of the border is actually quite hawkish. It’s not just part of an establishment also.

India’s establishment that has become easier, become more hawkish and so unless and until they facilitate the peace process, it’s very difficult to move forward because of the political parties on both sides of the water actually, do want peace and trade and people-to-people contact and so it’s actually, we need to get rid of the visa baggers and there should be freer movement across the border. I think that the question really is how do you make peace with the present and it’s very difficult because it means letting the past go whether it be what happened 66 years ago or what happened in recent years, it’s a very difficult thing to ask of any person or any country, but I think that that’s the biggest challenge. The fact that what countries have a narrative that tends to see the other as the exact opposite the biggest challenges, you know political in the sense that because of whatever happened over a period of time.

There is a sense of insecurity issues created on both sides and there is there needs to be some kind of political capital built up to sort of you know get those issues resolved and right now what is happening is that often the political class is riding on those insecurities of using it for their own gains. So until the people understand and appreciate that these issues need to be resolved that sort of won’t go away so and dad is a very difficult thing to do it might actually take. It takes the occasion probably you know a generation or two before it gets a little we don’t understand each other.

There is a very limited section of the population that gets a chance to interact. That is the biggest challenge at the moment, of course, there are political challenges issues which need to be solved by the politicians but any attention any conflagration it can always get amplified because you know the electronic media misuse is that you know lack of understanding laughs lack of interaction and a lot of misconceptions on both sides a serious trust deficit that exists between like both nations which need to be overcome through a sort of greater contact between the people face-to-face contact and for which obviously there has to create a political sort of less political rivalry and I think this is the time now is right for having some sort of conversation and dialogue at both the political level between like having more exchanges of people going more across borders. There’s a number of things that need to be done in terms of you know bettering the relationship between India and Pakistan. But before we can get to that I think we need to as Pakistani as a nation as a people really understand our own history and we were coming from and I think that process there’s a lot of history is buried. You know a lot of history has been erased and the challenges of Education the challenges of relearning you know and digging up the facts and recognizing and facing that trauma and facing that and then thinking about how to form future relations.

We see this in any kind of conflict situation when two parties who are very close to each other and we live very next to meet, very close to each other can’t seem to crawl out of the box. We’ve dug them into it sometimes helps to have an outside broker come in and just open up the dialogue again now whether that outside broker is. The US or it’s England or the UK or any other a country that is trusted equally by both India and Pakistan can play a role in it, I think that before we start relying too heavily on upon outside brokers, we really need to get as far as we can on our own at the end of the day. We live next to each other you know non-interference might be a refreshing strategy that there was good sometimes try.
