Abstract
The rivalry between India and Pakistan is to a large extent embedded in the structure of the relationship between the two states. While no conflict is ever inevitable, the handling of the problems by the leaders of both the countries, many of whom view Indo-Pakistan relations as a zero-sum game where the gain of one is seen as the loss of the other, has ensured that the rivalry persists, and that it has become deeply ingrained in the politics of the two neighbours. The rivalry is too deep-rooted either to disappear easily or to be capable of a rational solution.
