How do you free trade when its difficult getting a visa to either country for either country's citizen ? Can you free trade even within India ? I am sure there is a person like you in pakistan ... who has never traveled to India, and who has written a book about India being a failed state, and about permeated hatred among the populace. You can read news stories and draw conclusions from them, of course as we know reality is always different and deeper than what is presented in the news. About social studies text books... there is enough propaganda within the NCERT text books, just because its there doesn't mean everyone believes it (you don't believe it do you ?) . Secondly, you need to be able to read those text books to understand that propaganda. Last time i checked there were millions of illiterates....
