Yes but we did open the punjab border during 1965 although it was fought over kashmir. I just find it amazing that we had such a low pressure point in our hands during that time and we never acted on it .

Don't mention it brother .I felt compelled to do so after seeing your intellectual prowess. Now don't strain it too much. You know what they say about delicate things.
India pakistan fought wars in 1947 and 1965. We all know what happened along the line of LOC. But why did india never attacked the bengal front during 1847 and 1965 considering it was still a part of pakistan.
Was it because it would face backlash from the bengali community in India . Also why...
Kashmir and IWT has never been brought in SAARC . Although SAAC gets effected by bilateral relations in practice, but there has a long standing practice of only discussing multilateral treaties in SAARC.

This is the biggest mis-conception in pakistan. Modi came to power due to devlopment agenda . Trust me , watch some post election deconstruction videos on indian news, they will give you pretty accurate idea why modi came to power.

India shares the blame but not all of it. I am also interested in what happened with respect to pakistani side that...
SAARC was working on crafting a comprehensive multi nation disaster response system . Anyways, i agree with most of what you said . That being said, i see a very very remote possibility that pakistan will leave SAARC.
Pakistan also does a good job of isolating itself. One way to measure a country's importance is through your passport. And a pakistani passport is among the least valid passport in the world.
That is sad . I am not judging you because i do not know about your experiences but you can't adopt that regressive mentality just because of your encounter with few people. The biggest thing that is holding india back socially is casteism . I know we are hard done by reservation , people think...
