It is very difficult for Pakistan to come to terms with an India, where despite the Gujarat carnage and rare religious riots, is home to one of the largest Muslim populations in SE Asia, possibly second to Indonesia. The fact is more intriguing since they are in a minority in India. It is difficult to accept that secular ideas and ethos can flourish next door, when the very concept is anathema in Pakistan. To add weight and substance to the 'two-nation' theory conjured by the makers of Pakistan, a deep divide, atleast in the pleasure zone of the brains of successive rulers has to be nurtured periodically. Otherwise, the roots of their very existence would come in question-----and no ruler worth his salt, civilian or military in Pakistan, can allow a paradigm shift from the innately hawkish, apparently not too hawkish at times, diplomacy followed since 1947. Unrest in India works to their advantage. Recent barbs, or were they 'honest confessions'of Mr.Kasuri drove home the point that India may burn if outstanding issues mainly (or ONLY Kashmir) are not resolved. For Indian politicians, it is suicidal to clamp down hard like they are doing in the US on terror networks.
