This is practically too much to ask of the nations in question here. For time being, India should leave Pakistan on her own. Just don’t disturb them, they can sort this out,Pakistani people are resourceful enough to resolve this and there is no doubt about their resoluteness once they have decided .Our internal priorities of Naxalism, Poverty are big enough for us to solve in meanwhile

Canada and USA never had entwined histories.India and Pakistan are product of history, US is product of philosophy of their outstanding founding fathers. None of them were founded on the basis of insecurity of minority-majority equation etc.

India cannot help in any ideological struggle against extremism in Pakistan and vice versa, those are our respective problems to be solved by ourselves.

I agree that it may not be practical, but that might be the only long term solution. The problem today is that both countries are involved in some way in creating trouble in the other country. Pakistan is supporting terrorism in India and India is involved in Balochistan. Unless this stops and both countries start focusing internally, we will forever be distracted and keep diverting scarce resources to use against each other.
