I do not believe average indians and pakistanis hate each other, may be some do (its their ego problem). Living with dignity, peace and prosperity is the need of every human being (be it pakistani, indian or kashmiri). Both nations need to recognize that both countries have all the right to exist and neither is part of the other. Both Nations struggled to be free of British rule, so we have to live with this reality rather then live in fantasy. Both sides are shelling each other, their casualties on both sides. What is this achieving further aggrevation and death. The only way to solve Kashmir issue, center of conflict, is for both parties to sit face and face and talk about it. Guns, bullets, threats and bombs may look great and sound brave, 100 years from now it will be a tragedy written in History. So do we want to be part of the tragedy or a different world of cooperation and peace. Europe is an example for us. Have we solved the problem with the last 3 wars, no, so why go for the fourth one and continue the cycle of hatred and destruction? Lets not spread hatred!
