    Author Christine Fair, in his book on ‘Fighting to the end: The Pakistan army’s way of war’, famously said that, “Most nation states have armies and in Pakistan, an army has a state”. This certainly reflects the magnitude of importance of military in Pakistan’s national conduct and India-Pakistan relations. Also, the India-Pakistan relations revolves around the Kashmir issue, where the major players have been the armies of both the states. More so often, the political discourse and diplomatic channel have continuously failed in resolving or stabilising the Kashmir conflict. There is no denying the fact that, Pakistan has exported terror in India and as what happens in a conflict, there has been significant collateral damage from the Indian - as called “anti-terror” - operations, which make the Kashmiri citizens, real victim of such a conflict. Given such premises, it is explicitly imperative to examine the scope and prospects of “Defence diplomacy” in Kashmir issue. This paper tries to examine the dimensions of defence diplomacy in the given context to have better positive results in Kashmir conflict.

    Contemporary soap operas have a large but persistent viewership, especially among the women in India. This paper examines the Entertainment-Education (E-E) paradigm in communication, its theoretical underpinnings and applications of these theories for bringing about a social change. Literature on social impact generated by soaps in India and in other countries including the US has been reviewed. The case study of Balika Vadhu, a revolutionary soap themed on child marriage, is also presented. The research identifies prime time soap operas as an untapped pool of talent with potential for becoming an agent of mass education. The research also advocates for constituting national level awards for TV soaps which focus on E-E.
