Did you know, in the 1950s, over half of Pakistan’s exports went to Hindustan and two-thirds of imports came from Hindustan. Those are considered the best years in Pakistan’s economic history until 2002.
Because i’m a Kashmiri living in the UK, and I would like to see other Kashmiris living a comfortable life as well (those who can that is). I don’t mind Pakistan doing busines with Hindustan. It’s not like as if Hindustan is asking Pakistan to stop the Jihad first and then trade so why not do both at the same time?
A plus from this is that the trade with Hindustan can also finance the Jihad in Kashmir as well.

Actually queer is right, Pakistan was looking at exporting electricity to India (on quite a number of occasions in past) though it faced lots of criticism as big cities were facing power shortages.
