Synopsis This book is distinctly different from the normally available literature on the subject. The approach during this entire work (on the book) is firstly to identify and analyse the root causes of major irritants between the two nations (India and Pakistan), in their historical perspective and then to suggest some likely solutions to these deep rooted problems. This book begins with an examination of the various irritants which had their roots in the partition. The subsequent chapters are focused on some specific irritants which create antagonistic relationship between the two giants of the region. While the first seven chapters revolve around the major irritants between the two countries, the last chapter is the "bottom line". In this chapter an attempt has been made not only to holistically sum-up the entire study but also suggest some positive steps for the better relations. The author has painstakingly and objectively tried to expose the issues that have in the past and will in the future influence the atmosphere of the relationship between them (India and Pakistan).
