Peace between India and Pakistan helps common people

Many Indians are seeing the change of leadership in Pakistan as a step away from dynastic politics, while also trying to understand the ramifications. It's a tall order to take actions and show progress in a short time. Anyone who has ever tried to spearhead a project can imagine how daunting this task could be, especially on a vast scale like that of a country. A mature leadership in both India and Pakistan could lead to a stable subcontinent, which could in turn help the voiceless, hardworking common people get on with their lives in peace. Sadly, this is also the ripe time for 'seeds of discontent' to be strewn into the minds of the common man by the so-called 'intelligentia' whose views reduce the common man's trust in the leadership.
