I am referring to the "enmity" between India and Pakistan. For nearly 14 years, I diligently deleted the phrases "arch-foes", "arch-rivals" and "have gone to war four times" from wire-service stories on India, Pakistan or Kashmir that I used in my job as a news editor. How could it when our own governments want us to be defined that way -- "arch-foes/arch-rivals". "India has been sponsoring terrorism in Pakistan," he told the delegates. If Ethiopia and Eritrea can bury their famous enmity, so can "arch-foes" India and Pakistan, at least in principle.
