Not cricket

Article Abstract:

India and Pakistan carried out nuclear tests in 1998, but a Feb 1999 visit by Indian prime minister, Atal Behari Vajpayee, to meet Pakistani prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, led to promises of an effort to settle differences peacefully. Partition and the slaughter of Muslims in India, and Sikhs and Hindus in Pakistan, was followed by military governments in Pakistan, though India has a less intense obsession with its neighbor. India may appear to be more advanced in economic terms, but the caste system has affected Indian development.
