What has been the effect of nuclear weapons on India and Pakistan relations broadly?
Very fundamental. There is almost zero possibility for war between Pakistan and India. No. 2, the major overtures toward peace between Pakistan and India are because of nuclear weapons. Leadership in both countries has realized that if we go to war that is going to destroy us. Q: Are you concerned that the recent violence in Karachi could mark the beginning of a period of political instability that could undercut progress in education and economics? A: It’s worrisome. I’m concerned this could unhinge a lot of the progress that we’ve made in our economy. Even that it could undermine democracy. I’m worried, and I hope the government can manage this and get over this and move into normal life. It’s worrisome, as a Pakistani.
