Q58 (CAPF/2011) International Relations & Global Affairs › India's Bilateral & Regional Relations › India–Pakistan relations Answer Verified

Which one among the following brought together the thinkers, editors, business and cultural groups and political leaders of India and Pakistan to bridge the divide between the nations ?

Result
Your answer:  ·  Correct: D
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 4: Aman Ki Asha. (Note: The question contains a slight typographical variation of "Asha" as "Aska").

Aman Ki Asha (Hope for Peace) is a prominent joint campaign launched on January 1, 2010, by the two largest media conglomerates of the respective nations: The Times of India (India) and the Jang Group (Pakistan). Its primary objective was to foster peace and bridge the historical divide through "Track II" diplomacy.

The campaign is comprehensive because it goes beyond mere political dialogue by involving:

  • Business Leaders: To promote bilateral trade and economic interdependence.
  • Cultural Groups: Facilitating exchange through music, literature, and cinema.
  • Thinkers and Editors: Creating a platform for intellectual discourse to counter hostile narratives.

While other options like Aman Biradari focus on secularism and communal harmony within India, only Aman Ki Asha specifically targets the cross-border bridge between India and Pakistan through this multi-sectoral approach.
