60 years of partition
by Binayak Das on Sep 18, 2007 01:18 PM

More than 60 years ago leaders of Muslim community of undivided India, needless to mention, taking advantage of lack of education, prevailing poverty and religious phanaticism convinced large section of Muslim population that in independent India Muslims will stand no chance of prosperiety etc. Future under majority of Hindu political leaders are bleak. So we need a separate homeland. There we will be the masters of our fortune. Under this environment of hatred a new nation called PAKISTAN were born. Because of muslim leaders vested interest it was taught constantly in Pakistan and unfortunately in India too that we are foes and could never be friend. But now after elapse of 60 invaluable years a new generation of population in both sides of border realised that we share more things in common socially. our grand fathers and fathers taught us wrong. We are not enemies and should mingle freely.Motto of this generation is to achieve prosperiety and develop our respective country economically following democratic pathway.
