Both of the countries have made a turbulent history especially during the years of three wars (1965, 1971 and Kargil war in recent years) since the day of independence from British colonial rule causing economic and political crisis. Such incidences as well as lack of experience in addressing issues of conflict, specifically for the attainment of peace, has resulted into frustration leading to stress and trauma. The most vulnerable and affected group is the youth. Youth of both countries are tired of continuous tension and demanding for peace as peace process component of permanent solution. The Indo Pak Youth Forum is aiming at fostering peace initiatives, consolidating democracy, good governance and sustainability fighting poverty for bridging gaps. This aimed at building the capacity of young people within the countries to understand the nature of conflict, identifying their role and taking positive actions for bridging the gaps focusing attitude and behavior change for peace and conflict management
