Considering Mumbai 26/11 a ‘watershed’ event in the trajectory of Indo-Pak relations, this study locates the post 26/11 events in its backdrop. These attacks act as a contextual frame as this episode while the centrality of India Pakistan in South Asian discourse plays a consequential role in shaping this study. Multiple dimensions of a social reality called Indo-Pak relations have thus been re-created and constructed for the public in two countries. However, as India and Pakistan relations are marked by frequent developments, the study has focussed on analysing media portrayal of a significant event post Mumbai attacks which was the first meeting between the highest leadership from two countries after 26/11. This paper attempts to analyse some attributes of the media representation of Sharm el-Sheikh talks, which were held in 2009 attempts at understating the nature of coverage given to it. The findings and analyses will contribute towards understanding the media psychology regarding the studied event in particular and Indo-Pak relations in general.
