Abstract
Strategic Relations between India and Pakistan are very important factor to study geostrategic politics of south Asian region. Postcolonial states of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh are successors to British Colonial India and relations between these states have been affected number of times by historical facts and fiction associated with partition of India. Pakistan and India are result of partition of British India and accessions of native Indian states. British India was directly ruled by the British administration and they divided these areas according to the agreed formula of All India Muslim League and Indian National Congress that was nearly 60 percent of the territory colonial India. Remaining 40 percent territorial division of India was in the hands of rulers of Princely states. Shedding the light on the areas incorporated in Pakistan after partition of India in the results of decisions of the rulers of native Indian states had made this study quite unique and interested especially when Pakistan and China are developing the China Pakistan economic corridor.
