In 60 years the nuclear tipped South Asian enduring rivals, India and
Pakistan have fought four wars and were close to a fifth one in 2001.
Indo-Pak dyad has been the focal point of countless studies and while
discord and conflict are the focus of most studies there have been
periods of cooperation that have not been given enough attention. This
book is an attempt to dig out the positive aspects of past Indo-Pak
engagements and explore the relevant lessons to help resolve the pending
issues. The book argues that both came to terms with each after 50 years
and created the composite dialogue process in 1997 and by extracting
lessons from the history they can resolve their differences even if
their overall relations remain hostile.
