was there a referendum during 1947 to create the state of pakistan; i think that this 2 nation theory was itself the biggest blunder. No problems with that too. may god bless both countries for their prosperity. During independence from british rule, the respective heads of state were assigned the task of aceding to whichever side they want to. Hari singh sidede with india and J&K was attacked by foreign power. Indian soldiers averted that hostility only nehru made it a UNO issue. If referendum is allowed in J&K now then why not in balochistan, NWFP of pakistan? The answer is there is no limit to which we can divide oueselves; but if we have our conscience clear and co-operate then both countries will prosper without counting the corpses of their citizens,
