Kartarpura, Pak-India relationship, Economic betterment, Peace, Sikhs separatismAbstract
The Kartarpur Corridor's importance and the politics that supported its creation are examined in this essay. This project has sent a message to the world that Pakistan has implemented the corridor, not only granting rights to its own minority but also to the Sikh population across the border. It also calls attention to the symbolic value of the corridor and aims to use religious diplomacy as a method of fostering stronger diplomatic and commercial relations. As a result, religious groups throughout the world and communities in general value this massive initiative. The essay examines the corridor's problems and difficulties as well. Reservations concerning the potential of terrorist infiltration, Pakistan's backing for Sikh separatism, the sorts of permission and regulation regimes to be implemented, the need for Indian consular access to pilgrims in Pakistan, and concerns about these issues are just a few.
