In order to build up a new solidarity based relationship between India and Pakistan, serious efforts should be made with a vision, to create a new higher political framework of a confederation between the two countries, which would formally pool their destinies together, by strengthening the hands which unite them. It well enables both the countries to pay more attention, with more resources to better the living standards of all their people. Experts from both countries would vouch for the immense mutual benefits, or what may be called ‘peace dividends’ which they can derive politically, economically and socially, from such a consummation. Their history, geography, tradition, resources habits and culture and their other symbiotic futures are all in favour of bringing the two countries into a single larger political framework. In fact, their complementary overwhelm other factors. Of course the establishment of a Confederation between the two countries requires a great vision, and high statesmanship on the part of the political leadership of both countries. - Reproduced
