will India and pakistan ever undo their partition?

if german can uudo her own, why not? Just let the u.s and  britain and the interested power leave them alone. Otherwise the partition will go sooner than expected with a nuclear test. Can u picture that? So assist in pleading with the policemen of the world to let be these nations and that wall[s] will go down.

No war is not Right. Even the Mahabharat war was wrong but it happend. Also it should be noted that Pakistan is the work of the British. But the sad thing is that the problem sees no soloution in the near future. It will take only a miracle to solve this problem.

They were together at one point but because of religious differences (India is Hindu and Pakistan is Muslim mainly) they were split (actually Afghanistan was also part of the country).  It was under British control.  When Britain removed themselves it was put into 3 separate countries.  Yes Kashmir is a disputed area between them and will always be.  I think it is both of their Achilles heel in moving up from 3rd world countries.

India seeks to play a global role to match it;s growing economic stature.\n\nIt's bidding for a permanent seat in the UN security council.\n\nInterestingly, India was offered a permanent UN security council seat which it gave to China as show of friendship(bad decision) as china is now opposing India's bid.\n\nPakistan at this moment is trying to figure out whether it should support the jehadis fighting against US or it should support US and keep getting the aid on whcih it has survived for so many years.\n\nIndia is way ahead of Pakistan in all respects.

unfortunately not.  Too many people in India compared to US.  Unless India attacks america and occupy its land...they stands no chance.  There are very few countries in the world that did invade other coutries and occupied land.  India and China are two such countries.  No wonder why these two countries are now  over crowded.

1. Pakistan and India were one country\n2. When the British occupation started withdrawing from the area, Muslim and Hindu leader agreed to split in grounds of who lives where, the area's with Muslim majority will be part of the new established Pakistan, and the other area's will remain parts of India, the thing with Kashmir that the people where Muslims, but the Maharaja rolling this area were Hindu... and that's how it all started\n\nWhat I thing: India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan should be united as one federal country as here (USA)

No. \n\nIndia was, is and will always be a peace loving country. We always stick to our principles. \n\nWho is Pakistan after all? India and Pakistan were one country before independence. We parted later and it implies that we are brothers. \n\nIndia is the elder brother, dost! Younger brother may try to pull our leg, theirs is hot blood. We are more matured and evolved. We sit back and smile. Yes, when necessity arises we defend ourselves. But we don't attack. They will learn someday and we will wait.

The only other country that has a power to take over as a super power is Peoples Republic of China. It is economically fastest growing nation and has the ability to stand against all the other nation. I would never agree to EU or India as they have a hiostroy of splitting and no co herence between them India has its own problems. But no 2 would be Australia.

Well bro if you want all the history chronological then it here:\nKashmir was free and I should be given freedom....\n\n\n 1947: August 14/15. British India is partitioned into India and Pakistan as part of the independence process. Majority Muslim areas in the West (now all of Pakistan) and East (the place now called Bangladesh) form Pakistan. The British also allow the nominal rulers of several hundred "princely states," who were tax collectors for the British and served at British pleasure, to decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. Pakistan demands Kashmir accede to it. The Hindu ruler of Kashmir does not make a choice. Kashmir has three major ethnic areas: Ladakh in the northwest, which is majority Buddhist; the Kashmir Valley (controlled by India) and the part now controlled by Pakistan, which is majority Muslim, and Jammu (in the south), which is majority Hindu. The overall majority is Muslim.\n\n1948: "Tribesmen" from Pakistan invade Kashmir with the support of the Pakistani government. The ruler of Kashmir asks India for help. India demands that Kashmir should accede to India first. The ruler agrees. India sends forces to Kashmir and the invasion is blocked. Kashmir is divided into a Pakistani controlled part and an Indian controlled part. This de facto partition continues to this date with the dividing line being known as the Line of Control.\n\n1948: India takes the Kashmir issue to the U.N. Security Council, which passes a resolution calling on Pakistan to do all it can "secure the withdrawal" of Pakistani citizens and "tribesmen" and asking that a plebiscite be held to determine the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Neither the force withdrawal nor the plebiscite has taken place.\n\n1962: India and China fight a border war. China occupies a part of Ladakh.\n\n1965: India and Pakistan fight a border war along the India-West Pakistan border and the Line of Control in Kashmir. U.N. brokered cease fire and withdrawal to pre-war lines affirmed by the leaders of the two countries at a 1966 summit meeting in Tashkent, USSR (now Toshkent, Uzbekistan).\n\n1970-1971: An election in (East and West) Pakistan results in an overall majority for an East Pakistani party, which is ethnically mainly Bengali. The Pakistani military refuses to allow the Parliament to convene. East Pakistanis demand autonomy, then independence in the face of brutal repression by the Pakistani military. Guerilla warfare ensues. About ten million refugees stream into India from East Pakistan. India also provides sanctuary to Bangladeshi guerillas. Pakistan attacks airfields in India and Indian-controlled Kashmir. India strikes back in West Pakistan and also intervenes in the East on the side of the Bangladeshis. The U.S., in a "tilt" towards Pakistan, sends a nuclear-armed aircraft carrier, the Enterprise, and its battlegroup, to the region, in an implicit nuclear threat to India (which influences nuclear politics of India in favor of nuclear testing). Pakistan loses the war on both fronts and Bangladesh becomes independent.\n\n1972: India and Pakistan sign a peace accord, known as the Simla (or Shimla) agreement, according to which both sides agree "to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them." Both countries agree that they will not unilaterally try to alter the Line of Control in Kashmir.\n\n1974: India tests a nuclear device. Pakistan accelerates its nuclear weapons program.\n\n1980s: U.S. supports Islamic resistance to Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and also the dictatorship of Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan, which promotes Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan.\n\nLate 1980s: There is a state-level election in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. There is evidence of fraud. Militancy rises in Kashmir. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hindu fundamentalism begins to become more power

Yes not only in cricket and hockey but in each and every field of sport the combined team will be victorious. Not only in sports, but in economy also India would have regained its past glory.\n\nSee the Germans.  they have united.\n\nCan the governments India/Pakisthan/Bangladesh/Nepal think over and take a merger decision in the interest of people of their country?  Every ordinary citizen of these countries welcome merger decisions.\n\nThere will not be Kashmir problem.  There will not be a political problem in these countries.  Ecomnomy wise also it will be a wise decision.\n\nCome on Politicians. Take merger decisions in the interest of the people and world peace.

Well, just so that you get your facts straight:\n\n1. During the partition, it was ruled that all the princely states(Kashmir was one) could decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. The ruler of Kashmir remained undecided till Pakistani backed tribal invasion in 1947-48. the ruler decided to accede to India following which India sent it's troop to Kashmir for it's defence.\n\n2. The tribal invasion succeeded in occupying some protion of kashmir which is not the 'Pakistan Occupied Kashmir(PoK)'. Pakistan, however does not agree and calls it Azad Kashmir(Free Kashmir) and has coined a similar term 'Indian Occupied Kashmir(IoK)' for the indian territory in Kashmir.\n\n3. In 1965, pakistan crossed the ceasefire line in kashmir to try and capture kashmir, which was thwarted by the Indian action towards Lahore.\n\nPakistani history books(and consequently those who have grown up reading these) however proclaim  that India was the aggressor.\n\n4. Starting 1989 pakistan established terrorist training camps(the same are used for militants operating in Iraq) in PoK to to train extremist elements to disrupt peace in Kashmir.\n\nInitially the local muslims were also involved, a group called JKLF(Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front) being the leading one. During this time hindus were driven out of Kashmir. The economy collapsed and it resulted in a snowball effect of unemployment->unease->terrorism.\n\nHowever, over a period a time, the locals have joined politics and have come for dialogue while ISI(Inter services Intelligence, Pakistani secret service) backe elements have continued to send foreign elements to continue the unrest.\n\n5. In 1999 these militants crossed into Indian territory and lodged themselves in barracks location at mountain tops, vacated by the Indian Army during the winters. Army was called in to dislodge these insurgents, with air force also being used.\n\nUpon recapture, amongst those killed were regulars of the pakistani army, especially notable being regulars of their special forces whose bodies pakistan refused to accept. They had their disposal official arsenal of the pakistani military, even anti-aircraft missiles which were used to shoot down vehicles plying on the road connecting the valley to the rest of the nation.\n\nPakistan continues to harbour and train terrorists whose activities target even the innocent civilians.\n\nCrux of the matter is that terrorism in Kashmir is Pakistan sponsored and India is trying to defend it's soil.

Let not your imagination run fast.\nIntodays world the smaller a nation the more merry for all the rest. See USSR it has been split. \nSo the days of any two power joining to swallow another power are over. \nRemember the culture of each area varies and the people living therein want their independence. So some type of PANCHAYAT RAJ\nat each village level under the over all control of a joint head may work well. \nEven in the worst of dream no INDIAN would wish anything happence to the independence of PAKISTAN or AFGANISTAN or CEYLON or BANGLADESH.or NEPAL
