Publication Type: Paper (prepared oral presentation) Abstract: The rivalry between India and Pakistan is deeply rooted in the divergent cultural settings of the two states right from the start of their nation building process. The security relationship is mostly explained on strategic lines with its emphasis on traditional neorealist approach. Its explanation on constructivist model by keeping culture as an important repository of identity formation of the two states is often ignored. This relationship with cultural aspects cannot be underestimated. It is this aspect of relationship which I want to emphasise in my paper. Based on the application of the term "chosen trauma" used by Kinwall in the identity formation of the Hindus and the identity theory of social psychology, I want to develop a casual relation between ideology and identity. Furthermore how these ideologies are transformed or manipulated by the elites of the two states so as to bring a change in state's identity. Thus the two states change their state preferences or interest under such an identity leading to a new intersubjective understanding. In the end the argument will culminate with the assertion that the identity developed by the founding fathers of the two states through ideology is in stark contrast to the identity now acquired by both the states which is precisely the reason of dismal security relations.
