India and Pakistan Trade: A Vision for Peace

    The Indo-Pak relations have always been the victim of up and down. Both of the countries are nuclear powers. They have a big potential in every field and trade is one of them. There are different opinions about trade; trade has the potential to shape the relationship better and to develop peace among the countries but on the other hand, it may become a source of conflict or contention. In the context of Pakistan and India, the relations between trade and peace are complicated due to their extreme rivalry since its inception. This paper investigates that whether trade can be an instrument of peace between two nuclear powers of South Asia. This study is purely Qualitative in nature. Primary and secondary data are collected from different sources and the data is analyzed by NVIVO software.
