Border firing

Sir,
After a brief lull again shelling in border area targeting Indian posts  and making innocent border people who have small agriculture lands to live upon flee to safe place. Their agricultural crops are near the border and cannot be looked after properly due to unprovoked firing.
Question is what has the neighbouring country gained till date by indulging in this war games? It is high time that both the countries join their heads and think for the future. This all can be done as nothing is impossible in this world. Gun culture is no remedy.
Think for the future of coming generations, forgetting old rivalries and in a new way both the countries should be in race for development as are countries like USA, China, France, Germany etc etc.
Majority of people of both the countries wish that India-Pakistan should so be champions and role models on the development front. Instead of importing essentials from other developed countries both countries should be in a position to export essentials to other countries like china, USA that  are progressing in export business. Everwhere in both countries we often see made in China, made in USA items. It is high time that both the countries  develop decent foreign policy with each other and let us hope that a new era, a new ray of light could prevail and both countries have brotherly relations with each other in the interest of bright future for upcoming generation of both countries and a peaceful atmosphere on earth.
Yours etc…
