Lessons for South Asia from European Union

The Post World War II efforts for creation of a peaceful Europe that is driven by the dream of ecomnomic prosperity has always held interest for me.

Allan Little's article on BBC World (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/programmes/from_our_own_correspondent/5245830.stm) demonstrates what some people with ability to forget wartime excesses can achive for any peace process.

Why is it not possible in India. Why cant we achieve lasting peace and economic prosperity in the region. It may not be right to say that we have an unwilling neighbour or that we have disputed geographies. Because this is not unique only to us. Similar problems were faced by and continue to haunt even the European Union. But few willing men with vision backed by their country's never ending support were able to bury 'Europe's Historic Curse'.

How can we do this in India?
