Unite India and Pakistan

Re “Pakistan’s Moderation,” editorial, Jan. 15: Your thoughtful critique of the Kashmir situation is both pragmatic and succinct. Pakistan’s claim over any part of Kashmir amounts to a rape of history. It’s unfortunate that India remains divided in a self-destructive quagmire of post-colonial politics. The people of India and Pakistan must rethink the blunders of a painful past and construct a new United States of India. This will promote enduring peace and equality. Even internationalization of the so-called Line of Control is not going to undo the horrors of history.
