reunification of India and Pakistan

You may speak of unification of the subcontinent, but not reunification, as India and Pakistan were never unified in the first place, although both were under the control of the British Raj. India itself is so incredibly heterogeneous that it is a bit of a miracle that it has stayed together in spite of fissiporous tendencies [e.g., Sikhs, Assamese, Bhutanese, Kashmiris]

I put the probability of unification of India and Pakistan on the order of 0-1% this century.
