The making of pakistan has been the biggest disaster for the muslims of the sub-continent. To undo the past damage i sugest the following steps. 1)promote the commonalities between the moderate/middle class intellectuals between the two countries eschewing any religious bias. 2)promote learning of urdu/indian Hindi across both countries. 3)loyalty to the country and its constitution should get primacy over religious identities. 4)get out of the midset of 'enemy's enemy is my friend' the dragon and its supporters are our common threat.today it is nibbling india ,tomorrow it will nibble pakistan. 5)promote common music-ghazals/shayaris/classical music which are appreciated in both countries. 6)let the muslim girls children be allowed to realise their true protential like their hindu sisters. these are only some suggestive steps which may in the distant future lead to a confederation between the two countries.
