Pakistan : Our brothers
sisters across Northern Western BordersPakistan is a fast growing
country, despite lots of socio-economic problems just like India or any other country of
the region. Relationship between India and Pakistan on political level remains a mystery.
Yet, despite the poltical poison people to people relation is based on pure love and
friendship. The propaganda has polluted some minds specially of certain segments yet most
of the people have nothing against each other.
Many people may not know, there are minorities of Hindus, Parsees, Christians, despite
a majority of Sunni Muslims. The religious intolerance has been more a political strategy
than the will of common people. Most educated people in Pakistan are a very upwardly
mobile lot, similar to most Indians. However some small time religious zealots keep
provoking the politicians to use the faith to control the people. Most Pakistanis are NOT
fundamentalists and they are as modern in their thought as any one but their expression of
modernity is a difficult matter in a very conservative society.
Pakistanis and Indians out of India-Pakistan area have lived in a very friendly
atmosphere in most countries. Lack of communicaton and inter-action is usually the ONLY
reason of ignorance between the people and the possible misunderstandings.
Can we open a window of hope and love to each other? India's doors are wide open and
open arms for our brothers and sisters in Pakistan and Pakistanis all around the world.
