Both India and Pakistan were created on the same day. In India the mood was freedom from England. In Pakistan the mood was freedom from India. They perceived us as we have preceived the English. Hence the mistrust i guess. In the quest for Kashmir, both the countries as suffering and loosing out in the race. India due to its size and secular credentials has been able to weather the negatives to a large extent though not fully. But Pakistan has been lagging behind only because of their mistrust, misinformation and religion. I think Indians have taken democracy for granted. But it is becasue of our freedom of expression we have come so far. I only hope Pakistanis realise that and go all out to win back the freedom they got and rule themselves rather than depend on stooges or proxies of other countries. It is benefitial to all of us to have a good relationship among all South asian nations. Only that will make the west shiver, and probably thats why they play all the games to keep us apart.
