What Defines National Interest for India and Pakistan: Economy, Politics or Religion?

Dawood Mamoon

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Recent political history of India suggests that religion has become a dominant force in country’s politics. Here lies the irony the world has put a deaf year to by still accepting India as being secular democracy instead of a country dominated by Hindu identity. This Hindu identity defines India’s security agenda as well as its relationship with the world. Country like US is comfortable with India under every President irrespective of being a Republican or a Democrat.
