1)         In the above reading, the primary basis of the argument is how to end the fight between the two countries that have been in a continuous battle over religious differences for more than two decades the two countries are India and Pakistan. They have been involved in many peace talks, but the situation seems only to become worse as days go.

The minority were the Muslims who lived in Pakistan, while the majority were the Hindus, who were based in India.
