Before I even start this message, here is a disclaimer - I am Indian, and I love India. Yet, instead of blindly insluting Fatima and Pakistan on a rediff message board that she is never going to read, stop and think for a minute.
Based on what she has said, the common Indian and the common Pakistani are not very different. Sure, the politicians manipulate people, and they try and turn them anti Indian, but when you look at the situation on the street, the people don't actually hate India. If you don't believe me, here's a simple question - how many of you'll have interacted with a real Pakistani, and how many of you'll are basing your views on what the media has said? The media makes Pakistanis seem like they hate India and Indians, but in reality, they want peace jnust like we do. They want their military money to be spent on education and healthcare, just like we do.
Indians and Pakistanis come from the same genetic stock, and we are a very similar people. It is prejudices that continue hatred and war. For the future of our country, or even both the countries, stop and think. Think not of blind hatred, but of what can be done in the future to improve relations.
Don't look at the 60 years of hatred that have occured. Look instead at the hundreds of years of peace that preceeded them.
