There are implications in what you have just said, that could have incredible repercussions - good ones - for both India and Pakistan. While we hope for peace, there is every reason not to slacken our defences, or, for that matter, for the Pakistanis to slacken their defences, and there is every reason to be friendly but wary.
I hope that makes sense.
