Abstract
The state is challenged not only by its own capabilities, interests, policies and actions but also by those of the state with which it interacts. Pakistan’s geostrategic location is placed in an environment where it is facing threats across the border from India who have hegemonic attitude in South Asia. Security of the region is highly associated with the peace process between the two nuclear states of the region. For Pakistan it’s a difficult challenge to win the trust of India because of their unresolved disputes and lack of cooperation between them. India has to make its secular foundation more strong and solid while Pakistan has to think how it can make its state up to the principles of Islam and how to enjoy the positive fruits of modernity without losing its religion. The hostility between Pakistan and India is a main hurdle for peace building.Without creativity and commitment to dispute resolution, it is difficult to imagine their policy of peaceful engagements in the future. Future of Pakistan-India relations depends upon the type of compromise which might be accepted by both sides.By the time, the peace process began between the two states, they cannot run off from the actuality of it and by viewing the future prospects of peace process there is up till now in the present scenario, there are rays of lack of absolute possession, allegiance and visual perception from both states in order to lookout for peace benefit by employing right set of circumstances for the improvement in their confrontational relations
