The tussle and rift between India and Pakistan is beyond repair precisely due to the reason lies with the Pakistani military.  Pakistani military is the supreme authority in Pakistan as far as its relationship with India is concerned.  In order to maintain its prestige, military will not like to see any improvement in this bilateral relationship.  Whenever, there is any initiative taken by either the government in Islamabad or New Delhi to improve these ties, one witnesses a turmoil or ceasefire violation on the LOC.  I can equate relationship between India and Pakistan with the situation in the Middle East - Jews and Palestinians- and North and South Korea.  The hatred for each other has been flowing in their blood streams.  Kashmir issue is not the real issue between India and Pakistan.  Pakistan military with the support of its non-state actors in Pakistan and separatists in J & K ( part of India) has been keeping this issue alive to maintain its importance and divert an attention of local Pakistanis away from its failed economic policies.  Pakistan could not manage and handle the territory it received in 1947.  They have already lost half the area during 1971 war which gave birth to Bangladesh.  The rest of 4 Provinces - Sindh, Panjab, Balochistan and KP - are in turmoil and innocent people are being slaughtered on a daily basis which shows devoid of ability and capacity of the Islamabad government to mange the remaining territory.  Therefore, an ambition to acquire more territory via. Kashmir is baseless.  The only way to solve this Kashmir riddle is by dismantling the Pakistani army by launching a full scale war, and winner takes all.
