Cricket could be a good start again. I am in my 30s. I have not seen better time than both countries had around 2005.
This is a military forum. Most people are passionate and aggressive, as subject demands. This forum will never spread good things about each other. It will only cause hatred. Some other creative forums contribute better. Even yahoo messenger chat room also did their part. Sadly those no longer exist.
Let our Govts start with Cricket. Pakistan cricketers should also play IPL. Emotions of public go high when anything unfortunate happen in any country. But not talking is not a solution. Both countries should also work to make their internal security strong.
If suppose both countries get military rule, I see a better possibility of peace and improved relations. Problem with political class is, they can not take too much risk. Opposition will tear in to them. There is a huge risk in doing anything out of box. There are many non state actors who do not want peace. They get their bread on this hatred. Do not see this happening anytime soon. But I hope a day come in my lifetime when I can drive from Delhi, have lunch in Lahore and plan further itinerary with suggestions from people here
BTW, we always talk about having improved people to people contact. But what about improved contact between elites. Military General to General. Political class still do some diplomacy but I don't think Generals ever talk. So the people who matter most don't even want to chat. How would there be a peace then? Common people are like toys in ruling class, they can change our opinion anytime they want. Should not there be some sort of Military exchange program? Even if we are enemy. Isn't it better to know enemy. Anyway no one gonna tell secrets in some interaction. We got our famous agencies for that
It is already declared in the country to it matter
Your post made my day. Only thing I would differ is politicians and military generals they are very much together. They are playing this power game and people are just pawns. All the politicians and generals when they meet, they would be laughing at innocent people, who believe in their hatred narratives.
Only problem is the people, who believe in this hatred narratives. People should know they are being played. And these politicians are using these narratives to fool them.
