All of us have to die one day---some sooner than the others---so where is the problem---that is why I am saying make peace---. War is not worth it.
If a super power like Great Britain could make peace with IRA and that also in the 20th century where it had the capability to crush the irish completely---then there is no reason for india to raise the rhetoric and Pakistan to fight the war.
The problem with india is that if it makes peace then it has to fight its demons---which will come back and keep nagging---"you made peace with your enemy---you could have destroyed him"---.
The thing is that india has no historical background of power play and decision making on the world theatre. Pakistan is its first major world issue----and for some reason---india has tied this issue to its ego---Great Britain did not have that problem---it had centuries of decision making and power play---.

Disagree with you.
Have seen days when Cold War was at its Height, We used to buy equipment from Russia as barter for Corn, Vegetables, Iron ore......
I still remember in early 70s when the Nation had just completed the last Big assault and we knew Americans under Nixon considered us sinister as North Koreans and were keen on expedition like Vietnam, Ruskies played the counter weight....
In 1974 when Smiling buddha done was a Big shock for hours it was a shock till Confirmed by BBC Radio.
Then the studies in MC mentioned Nukes leads to MAD...was shock again
We started realizing by then 48 was forced on, so was 65...in 71 we were forced to join in the effort due to 1.4 millions East Pakistanis coming to siliguri/kokrajhar belt....
By the way we were keen since 65 for east pakistan to break as, it would have made our issues cut to half....
Now core points by time Afghan war was on starting 1978.......all Military establishment was convinced going nuclear was right decision. Then by 87 Pakistan got Gun Powder ready by aid of China.....
Then came early 80s when PAF had 2 Sqns of F16 which gave shivers to IAF reason not being "DACT" rather We had no aerial system to deliver Nukes, which PAF had...Only in 87 the disclosure was made, but we knew much earlier
Hitting Nail On Head - Now the core issue is even Pakistan if is even gifted kashmir as per article 39 of UN Charter - they will Still not rest, as they will then ask Punjab, followed by himachal and Haryana as they are sub-sets of the great Punjab which we cut in 3 states in India as all Rivers flow from here....
The issue of Hindu Muslim Divide and instinct to Prove superiority of Religion and Urge to bring back Greatest Victory of Sallahdin after Jerusalem are still ripe and Urge to Bring Back 700 Yr Muslim superiority to Subcontinent still there...
Zia ruined your nation and added fuel to above concept, my incompetent leadership from 1996 to 2014 contributed to it.....As they added religious and cultural inconsistencies in India as well. This added to Fire in India too...
Peace will only be there, with one who has Bigger Gun, More Gun Powder and "More Gun Fodder" ....
