India and Pakistan, how do you describe their relationship ? A friendship that went astray ? Or perhaps, a modern day saga of two brothers from the same mother, who came to loathe the other ? Regardless of how things are now, these countries have done it all and seen it all. They have come a long way in forming a unified fight to fend of the Imperial powers and then underwent a bloody partition where nearly north of a million lives were lost. Its an intricate tale which is deeply layered, changing course through history, in a state of constant evolution. Both countries have been independent for 70 years now, Pakistan a day before India, yet the powers at Islamabad and Delhi have never been able to come to terms completely, or so it seems. And the one lingering topic of dissent among these two nations has always been Kashmir. Or also known as "Heaven On Earth". Its actually much worse than this !

I wouldn't go so far as to call them straight out villains, but rather be more subtle and tag them as Anti Heroes. But then, just like with everything else, there is a catch here too.
