Thaw in India- Pakistan relations?

To the dismay of ISI and its masters in the GHQ Shura, the Sikhs in India have generally remained indifferent to the idea of the so-called 'Referendum 2020'. Indian Sikhs have ignored the new Khalistani movement as a whole just as they did three decades ago, when the Pak military junta went into an overdrive to set Indian Punjab on fire.

Besides terror and Khalistan, Pakistan has also been exporting something else to India, particularly Punjab. It is drugs. Smuggling large quantity of drugs into India has been adding to the anti-India coffers of the ISI.

A corridor that provides 24x7 access to India with little hassles will be ideal for pushing drugs and brainwashing susceptible minds for carrying out anti-India activities.

How India will face this new challenge from a neighbour who has not yet reconciled to history remains unclear. It is possible that Indian government has factored in the ground realities while opting for the Kartarpur Corridor.

One thing is clear though. There may be no dull moment on India-Pakistan theatre, often dubbed as the theatre of the absurd.
