Re: Should Pakistan have free borders with India?
Nawaz Sharif's statements aside, I sincerely doubt the actual authorities in both India and Pakistan would go for any such plan...under current circumstances I don't think it's in either country's best interest to allow virtually unrestricted access to people from across the border.
A much more realistic and feasible plan would be to simplify the procedure for getting a visa for travel between India & Pakistan...right now, unless you have connections, the process takes months and is mired in bureaucratic red tape. Also, it would be nice if they opened up transportation between the two countries...the wait list for the Srinagar-Muzaffarabad bus for example (which runs only once twice a month) is over 10 years long...
