Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to explore the Kartarpur corridor as a bridge of peace between India and Pakistan. The shrine of Dera Baba Nanak in India and Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Kartarpur, Pakistan are connected by a physical corridor, which is a landmark. In this study, a qualitative methodology has been used in which its impact on Pakistan's economy and the theory of the contact hypothesis, promotes unity and mutual understanding through shared cultural experiences in a region defined by complex historical narratives. This study shows that kartarpur corridor has served as bridge of peace between India and Pakistan to a very vast extent but on the other hand it is also challenging for both states. This study recommends, if this corridor creates a bridge of peace among both states then in future Hindu pilgrims visiting Kartasraj temples and other historical and spiritual sites in Pakistan.
