Last years high hopes o£ a thaw in indo-Pa)d.8tani relations have faded away at last.

The hopes of breakthrough in bilateral ties had reached their height at the end of last yet following a series of events. How­ ever, even as the mutual recriminations continue unabated Pakistan also has its long litany of con^laints— foreign analyst do not expect on outbreak of major armed hostilities.

(D X < XMTROOUCTIOH HISTORICAL ACCOUNT South Asia contains a tremendous assortment of racial groups and subgroups, their ditributions appear­ ing to bear tittle relationsto present national bounda- ries. The whole region is the cluster/differenof t countries, different in culture, traditions and languages , but sharing a common post; at historical experience of colonial rule. The first major breach in walls of colonic. domination cane with peaceful ending of British rule in India in 1947 and the creation of the union of India the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as successor states. Pakistan came into existence under quite unfavoura­ ble conditions. Circumstances that created the feelings of mistrust between India and Pakistan were mostly due to the events %d)ich took place immediately after the partition, India's attitude towards Pakistan remained harsh and unsympathetic, ihey not only with held Pakistan's share of military supplies* but also denied Pakistan its share of cash balances. Ihe latter was released when Gandhi threatened to go on an indefinite fast. Relations between India and Pakistan became tense In 1949 t^en following the devaluation of the British pound sterling vis-a-vis the American dollar* India similarly devalued her rupee and Pakistan did not. India was shocked with this decision of Pakistan and refused to pay the 30 percent higher price for Pakistan jute, cotton and food grains. RELATIONS BETHBEN any two sovereign countrL«s, especially tiiose between India and Pakistan %«hlch were bound together for cectdries by common history, cultural heritage and above all by inter-dependence of economy, could have become a model for good neighbourly relations. That this did not happen after India and Pakistan came Into being In 1947, after the British rulers had to handover power to the people of these t%#o covntries, is in Itself quite a disturbing fact of history. On the contrary «A)at has happeaed Isthat Indo-Pak relations have never been on an even keel except for a short period after the Simla Agreement had been signed in 1971. One abvlous explana­ tion for this is that IndO-Pak relations did not and perhaps could not develop in the direction in which ttiey should have in the larger interests of the people of the two countries becavise the United India had been divided on the basis of the "two oaticxi" theory, nils 6 explanation, however* does not £ully eiqplaln the existing state of Indo-Pak relatldns, though this Is an Important factor. Relations between two Independent and sovereign countries are like sensitive plants. They need constant care and have to be nurtured assiduously. What Is impor­ tant to note inthls connection is that India and its top leaders acc^ted the partition of united India without any mental reservations because it was realised that it was not possibleto coerce# even with force* unwilling parts to remain within India* Such an action would lead strife to continiied internal/and turmoil and bring the progress of India to a standstill. On the other hand* the rulers of Pakistan had entert<alned further territorial ambitions. In the mid^f orties the late Sardar Abdur Rab Nlshtar, then president of the Pakistan Muslim league said* ** Pakistan botindaries are not what they rl^tly ought to have bean.

After the division of the Subcontinent in 1947 they migrated to East Bengal (from 1955 known as East Pakistan), despite stronger cultural and linguistic ties (they were Urdu, not Ben- gali, speakers) connecting them with West Pakistan. In 1971, after East Pakistan became independent and Bangladesh was formed, these so-called ‘Biharis’ were placed by the authori- ties of the newly formed republic in the camps, from which they were supposed—and they hoped—to be relocated to Pa- kistan. However, over the next 20 years, only a small number of these people has actually been transferred.

  • 3Rupture in South Asia
    3Rupture in South Asia While the 1950s had seen UNHCR preoccupied with events in Europe and the 1960s with events in Africa following decolonization, the 1970s saw a further expansion of UNHCR’s activities as refugee problems arose in the newly independent states. Although UNHCR had briefly been engaged in assisting Chinese refugees in Hong Kong in the 1950s, it was not until the 1970s that UNHCR became involved in a large-scale relief operation in Asia. In the quarter of a century after the end of the Second World War, virtually all the previously colonized countries of Asia obtained independence. In some states this occurred peacefully,but for others—including Indonesia and to a lesser extent Malaysia and the Philippines—the struggle for independence involved violence. The most dramatic upheaval, however, was on the Indian sub-continent where communal violence resulted in partition and the creation of two separate states—India and Pakistan—in 1947. An estimated 14 million people were displaced at the time, as Muslims in India fled to Pakistan and Hindus in Pakistan fled to India. Similar movements took place on a smaller scale in succeeding years. Inevitably, such a momentous process produced strains and stresses in the newly decolonized states. Many newly independent countries found it difficult to maintain democratic political systems, given the economic problems which they faced, political challenges from the left and the right, and the overarching pressures of the Cold War. In several countries in Asia, the army seized political power in a wave of coups which began a decade or so after independence.

  • Simla Agreement July 2, 1972
    Simla Agreement July 2, 1972 July 02, 1972 The Simla Agreement signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan on 2nd July 1972 was much more than a peace treaty seeking to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war (i.e. to bring about withdrawals of troops and an exchange of PoWs). It was a comprehensive blue print for good neighbourly relations between India and Pakistan. Under the Simla Agreement both countries undertook to abjure conflict and confrontation which had marred relations in the past, and to work towards the establishment of durable peace, friendship and cooperation. The Simla Agreement contains a set of guiding principles, mutually agreed to by India and Pakistan, which both sides would adhere to while managing relations with each other. These emphasize: respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty; non- interference in each other’s internal affairs; respect for each others unity, political independence; sovereign equality; and abjuring hostile propaganda. The following principles of the Agreement are, however, particularly noteworthy: A mutual commitment to the peaceful resolution of all issues through direct bilateral approaches. To build the foundations of a cooperative relationship with special focus on people to people contacts. To uphold the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, which is a most important CBM between India and Pakistan, and a key to durable peace. India has faithfully observed the Simla Agreement in the conduct of its relations with Pakistan.
