Lets keep in check our expectations with the U.S.

British-Pakistanis make up about 1.5-2% of the population there hence they will always have some clout even if economically, they are at the bottom of the barrel.

But in the U.S., Indian-Americans are not only numerically larger but also are more assimilated(politically/economically) as compared to Pakistani-Americans.

Indian-Americans are also mostly right wing Hindu nationalists and will increasingly at least try to appeal to Islamophobic elements to try to get at Pakistan.

This is just one of the factors that will drive U.S. policy in South Asia over the coming decades and not the only factor.

Yup, 4.4 Million to 0.5 million. Meanwhile in UK, Pakistani and Indian population is almost the same, in terms of numbers that is.

As long as both countries can find common grounds in a few areas where their national interests coincide, it is a workable solution.

Then the relationship will be a narrow one, no? Outside of Afghanistan and terrorism, what interests between Pakistan and US converge?

Narrow or broad, it does not matter if it is mutually beneficial.

Because Irani mullahs are not interested in normal relations. Now can you say the same about Pakistani state?

India will have to show their willingness then because so far they have done jack shit for US.

I would add that most of the Iranian diaspora is probably anti Mullah regime anyway.
Just my thought on the matter.
