Well the above article and its overall tone is once again a testament of the hindu majority mentality. If you cant even accept our chosen leaders (hypothetically even in a united India), then we cant even begin to talk of respecting minority rights in constitution. And not just any minority. A significant, large minority.
Each time I go through an article or video with Indians talking about Pakistan- the Two Nation Theory stands firm as ever before me. Hence I, along with millions of Pakistanis, in spite of our momentary problems, thank Jinnah Sahab for such a big favor on future muslim generations. For Heavens know I wouldnt want to be in a Gujrat neighborhood, burnt alive for my religion.

I would like you to read “Passive Voices” by K.L Gaba. You would know whether united India was better for Muslims or not. Your constitution gives equal rights to Dalits (Untouchables) but everyone know that these rights exist in the papers only. Your fellow Hindus, Dalits, are living such miserable life which our pets in Pakistan can’t afford. Half of your population is starving.

Moreover, if you are against the partition then no matter. Whole of the Indian National Congress were so. This partition was not for land, indeed, it was difference of ideologies. This difference is still here. Yes we are happy that we are living in an Islamic state. Yes we are happy.

Well Vinay, I think when you give credit to your country’s democracy, we do feel envied, coz unfortunately we have had four successive military coups, which always were a matter of distress, angst and awe for all democratic minded Pakistanis. But when you put this as a blame to our Qaid-e-Azam, then I think you include yourself in the array of all that large breed of people in India like the Bal Thackrays, the Hindutva guys and Mombai Filmwalas who produce films where every Muslim, every Pakistani is a villain.

Whatever the condition of Pakistan is now (and it’s indeed very serious but nations always face crisis and they do come out of these too). You too have had your share of such calamities and crises in the 60′s (when there was widespread famine in various states of India) but then it’s no good to go on blaming each other for one’s faults. Better leave this to politicians who need such fuel to keep their politics of fire against ‘enemy syndrome’ always burning.
What we need is that both India and Pakistan should learn to live together.

We blaming or finding faults with India and the Indian’s finding faults with us will do good to nobody.
We in India and Pakistan need to learn to live together. India adopting a hegemonistic attitude vis-a-vis Pakistan being a small country in size will never do any good to cultivate good relations between India and Pakistan.

And same goes for us Pakistanis, many amongst us who believe in destroying India as an Infidel country. Such people I mean extremists exist everywhere but instead of strengthening their voices we should try to isolate them so that their voices become hardly inaudible.

On my blog this month am going to start a series on India Partition 1947 and the main theme of this series is the same one i.e. Friendship between India and Pakistan and it is my request to my Indian friends particularly in the media who are not so emotional about Vishal Bharat, Bharat a Super Power, destroy Pakistan, let there be oneIndia , such things decelerate the efforts of we Pakistanis who want good relations between the two neighbours. We have so many common things, poetry, music, and a way of living which is very distinct but has some sub continental commonness. Instead of using this to create tensions between the two countries, let us work to translate this commonness for a long term peace between the two.
