“Seeds of peace on cricket field”

 

Saw this insightful piece by a Pakistani researcher in the Baltimore Sun.

The article makes a valid point:

Of course, huge challenges remain. This was made horrifying clear Sunday, when two bombs exploded on a train headed from India to Pakistan, sparking a fire that killed 66 people in an attack that officials said was aimed at undermining the peace process.

Despite such setbacks, it still seems possible that India-Pakistan cricket matches will lead to exchanges of other types – cultural, social and political – and in time, each side might come to see the other as a rival, certainly, but not necessarily an enemy.
