"This book is a collection of research papers written by various experts from varied disciplines and professions, edited with discernment, covering the wide gamut of bilateral relations inside out.
"Several issues, which not only hogged the media limelight, but have given new turns and twists to the turbulent relationship have been given in-depth sophisticated analysis.
"The topics which competed for inclusion in this editorial offering are: Kargil standoff, cross-border terrorism, SAARC, economic and trade linkages. Geo-political setting of the conflict is topped by a historical survey which, in itself, gives, to any serious reader, enough material to mull and ponder over. A complete and up-to-date reference tool for serious academicians, policy makers and the students of Indo-Pak relations, who not only shape public opinion, but also contribute their invisible input in corridors of power."
