"India and Pakistan are two Asian neighbours known the world over for their hostile relations and armed conflicts. Carved from India, Pakistan is a nascent country having over only a half century's existence. As Pakistan's birth is the result of two-nation theory of British colonialists, 'hate-India' is a deep-rooted spirit of Pakistani psyche.
Kashmir tangle, proxy war, inflicting terrorism etc, are the main issues, influencing Indo-Pak relations." (jacket)
