India-Pakistan
Long-standing ethnic and religious as well as boundary issues, left unresolved after decolonization, have contributed towards war and strife between India and Pakistan. In July 2008, the IHJR convened a meeting of scholars and educators from India and Pakistan, along with experts from other countries, to explore the potential for joint project work. Among the possible activities identified were the creation of shared narratives for enhancing educational materials for primary and secondary education, and enabling an Indian-Pakistani collaboration on historical sites. The IHJR is developing this work in cooperation with the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies in Delhi and educators and scholars in Pakistan.
