Excerpts

The Beginning

Ever since the partition of the sub-continent in 1947, India and Pakistan had been arch rivals with a deep rooted animosity toward each other. Conflicts arose over bilateral issues such as the separation of Kashmir , terrorism, water dispute , visa difficulties, prisoner's woes, etc. A series of wars over six decades between the two nations had led to mutual hostility. This was exacerbated by the cross-border terrorism resorted to by Pakistan. The cost of this animosity was very high for both India and Pakistan as it hampered bilateral trade and strained political relations between the two countries.

While there was plenty of praise for the campaign, it also came under severe criticism from some people in both India and Pakistan. Some dismissed the campaign as just double talk and said it would make hardly any difference in resolving the problems between the two countries...

The Road Ahead

TOI and Jang planned to organize a second Indo-Pak economic conference 'The Power of the Sub Continent' in Lahore in February 2012. The objective of the conference was to encourage stronger economic development in both countries through collaboration among the business community.
