The security relationship between India and Pakistan is generally viewed through a neo-realist lens. This book explains the rivalry of these countries by looking at the socio-cultural norms at two levels, and discusses a hypothetical security community that could result in peace in the region.
Review Quotes:
'Outstanding Research Award' for the best book in the Social Sciences by the Higher Education Commission Government of Pakistan
"The book presents a very balanced approach while constructing the narratives of identity of both India and Pakistan despite the fact that the author is a native of Pakistan. This volume greatly advances our understanding of South Asian politics and it will serve as an important reference text for students of International Relations."

"This study is recommended for an expert-level analytical circle which wants to evolve and formulate a constructive peace proposal between India and Pakistan"
