Cessation of Indo-Pak Conflict

The cessation of war does not depend always on deep inner causes. Sri Aurobindo says that the masses are often satisfied with the status quo that helps to continue with the flow of life while statesmen and politicians are interested to protect their own self-interests. True! What Sri Aurobindo wrote a hundred years back at the end of World War 1 finds echoes in the American President Donald Trump's pronouncement that he helped to end the recent Indo-Pak conflict citing trade concerns. It appears that he bullied the two nations to end the war or else it would be difficult for them to trade with USA. Of course, India has vehemently rejected Trump's announcement but Trump does not care to stop his utterances. Sri Aurobindo has warned that in the absence of deeper causes to end the conflict, a facade of artificial peace would prevail. This actually would be more menacing.
