The Muslims of India (and Bihar) with their countrymen will heave a sigh of relief if normalcy returns in relationship with Pakistan. The Hindustani Muslims are often unjustifiably looked upon as siding with the hostile neighbor country just for the reason of religion.
Encouraged by the UAE, a flurry of diplomatic efforts are reportedly on the way to bring India and Pakistan back on friendly terms. Much meaning has been attached to the speeches of the Pakistani Defense chief, General Bajwa who basically proposed to “bury the past and move on.”
Many observers and experts are, however, cautiously optimists. If Pakistan is showing willingness to have a thaw in the relationship, it’s more because of Pakistan's domestic compulsions: Its economy, now dependent heavily on extortionist China, is in terrible shape; the nationalist and independence movements are getting stronger in Baluchistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Sindh. Even Punjab is restless.
