Cultural differences have been the most influential sources of conflict in world history. These cultural differences arise from a lack of understanding between the parties involved (Gumperz, 1998). However, deliberately acquired cultural awareness is the most powerful weapon to overcome negative factors that arise due to cultural differences (Wunderle, 2006). The objective of this assignment is to counteract the cultural difference between India and Pakistan. Next, to show how these differences cause conflict. Finally, to describe an unstable situation between the two countries and how it could have been resolved peacefully. A closer look at both India and Pakistan reveals several similarities between the two countries, such as facial and skin features and attributes. However, one of the most significant cultural differences between the two countries is that they are home to two very different ethnicities. Arabs and Indians are two very different types of people with different cultures and different perspectives about life. The Arab community adheres to a very demanding form of life while the values ​​of the Indian community vary depending on personal preferences (Mohmand, 2009). According to Wunderle (2006), the awareness and pride among Arabs regarding the historical position of Arab influence in the world has been an important stimulus towards some risky attitudes that the Arab community displays towards other ethnic groups. Indeed, a closer look at history shows that the Arab community was established as far back as the Middle Ages and lasted for over 700 years (Mohmand, 2009). Religion is another huge cultural difference between India and Pakistan. India is a very religiously tolerant country as it is home to many... middle of paper... India and Pakistan are ethnically and religiously different and both have different thoughts on government. Peaceful intervention in the current border battles has proven very difficult because the situation has been heavily marked by bloodshed. Therefore, violent military intervention from outside is the only means to make both sides humble. Works Cited Gumperz, John J. (1998). Conversational analysis of interethnic communication.
