It is indeed a great privilege to be asked to speak at this prestigious forum on the evolution of Pakistan-India relations in the first decade of twenty-first century. It gives me particularly great pleasure that my old friend Mani is presiding over this function. Before going into the details of this relationship, taking a look at the nature of our peculiar relationship would be in order. India and Pakistan’s relationship is perhaps of a unique character.

The legal and political drama that ensued, spanning six decades, has loomed large in the terms of five prime ministers. It has made and broken political careers, exposed the limits of the law in grappling with matters of faith, and led to violence that killed thousands. And, 20 years ago this week, Ayodhya was the scene of one of the worst incidents of inter-religious brutality in India’s history. On a spiritual level, it is a tale of efforts to define the divine in human terms. Ultimately, it poses for every Indian a question that still lingers as the country aspires to a new role as an international economic power: Are we a Hindu nation, or a nation of many equal religions? 1 CHAPTER ONE: Copyright: The British Library Board Details of an 18th century painting of Ayodhya.
