Abstract:
Pakistan-India relations are central to peace and stability in
South Asia. However, under Indian Prime Minister
Narendra Modi‟s government, bilateral relations have
remained hostile. Despite efforts from Pakistan, Modi‟s
brutal policies in Kashmir, extremist mindset and antiPakistan stance have derailed the prospects of dialogue and
resumption of the peace process. The paper provides
detailed analysis of Pak-India relations under Modi,
covering political, security, economic and socio-cultural
aspects. India‟s belligerent attitude has been explained in the
light of Modi‟s rigid and hawkish personality and by
elaborating the factors that impact bilateral relations. The
study also sheds light on Confidence Building Measures
(CBMs) between the two countries, and concludes by
highlighting future prospects for this relationship.
