Abstract
There are ever new emerging ideas about globalization of the world especially certain debates longing for peace worldwide. The human historyshows that the best solution to different issues is dialogue and not resisting to disputes. The world has become a global village and it needs to develop and maintain a sustainable peace for the betterment of humanity. The present study explored the continualprocess of interfaith and intercultural dialogue between India and Pakistan towards the subcontinent and ultimately global peace, focusing specifically on religious, economic, political and social aspects in Kashmir issue.
