Both sides have placed preconditions for peace talks: India demands Pakistan cease cross-border terrorism, while Pakistan calls for the reversal of India&#8217;s abrogation of Article 370 regarding Kashmir&#8217;s status.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite these political stances, there have been gestures that hint at possible normalization, such as Pakistan issuing thousands of visas to Indian pilgrims and a strict adherence to the ceasefire understanding in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moreover, despite the historical and political complexities, there have been moments signaling a thaw in relations. For instance, the exchange of sweets between Indian Border Security Forces and Pakistan Rangers on the 76th Independence Day signifies a subtle, yet positive gesture between the two countries\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Efforts toward a warmer relationship face significant hurdles, including fundamental disagreements over the Kashmir issue and accusations of support for terrorism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>However, improvements in trade relations and the shared challenges like climate change offer areas where cooperation might be achievable. These developments reflect a complex relationship marked by cautious optimism for improvement amidst deeply rooted disputes.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A statement on India Pak relations of this week from the new foreign minster of Pakistan &nbsp;Ishaq Dar is a mature and positive one to start talks on &nbsp;business with India.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s see how the Indians react to it , which they will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The elections are coming up in May with June 4 as the date for counting of nationwide votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The BJP has lost some ground lately, incl the Kejriwal drama in ND. But it will return to power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Will Modi bite the bullet before that and respond positively to Pakistani suggestions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">or wait till after the govt is formed there? We will find out soon.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One logical step would be posting of High Commissioner, of based on reciprocity. The exchange of HCs is essential, &nbsp;to put across narratives between the two neighbours equipped with nuclear weapons.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For exchange of HCs the ground work has to be done behind the scenes first .&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps the new governments on the both sides (consisting on same old experienced teams ) may bring a change in the region during 2024.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Ashraf ChohanChief Editor Daily Rapid The latest developments in India-Pakistan relations show a mix<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19644,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"spay_email":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[22,216,20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-editors-picks","category-international","category-opinion"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v18.4.1 -
