Abstract :
Pakistan and India have been trying hard to resolve the issues between them. It is now becoming
difficult for both the countries to continue the decades old enmity. In this era of globalization
where national borders are shrinking, it is necessary for Pakistan and India to loosen up them and
work for the betterment of diplomatic relations between the two countries. This research focuses
on the Pakistani academia?s perception of Indo-Pak politico-economic relations and its impact on
the South Asian region. Online questionnaire was used as a survey tool in the research process. A
major chunk of respondents from post graduate level admitted that relations between Pakistan
and India have been uncertain throughout history. Respondents also believe that political
relations between Pakistan and India are directly proportional to trade relations between them.
This uncertainty between both countries has also marred the progress of South Asian region
