India’s relation with Pakistan has definitely seen more low points than the high points. The bitter-sweet relation shared between the two nations has neither made significant progress nor achieved any major breakthroughs since its 65 years of Independence.

Pakistan, on the other hand, is dogged by an unhappy past marked by repeated military interventions that prevented
