People like Kuldip Nayar place their misplaced South Asian utopia above the interests of India. Soft borders with Pakistan and Bangladesh would mean millions of people who do not share India's sense of moral values pouring into the country and destablizing the country. We already have a full blown problem of Bangladeshi migration. Now this senile old fool wants to do the same with Pakistan and moreover legalize it. Can you imagine the destruction to both our economy and civil society? People with any sense of a reality compass have to vehemently fight against this notion of soft borders. Ask yourself this, what benefit are soft borders to Indians. They will only benefit Pakistanis or Bangladeshis. What Jinnah could not achieve at partition, people like Nayar will achieve for him. Pakistanis and Bangladeshis must be chuckling at the stupidity of Indians. Moreover soft borders with them means that India is placing itself in the crucible of Islamic terrorism. What would stop Taleban crossing over to India using the softborders they themselves have with Pakistan? The sooner mental cases like Nayar are ignored the better. India was never a harmonious country with a militant Islam playing a big role. Partition allowed us to quieten this militant political Islam and keep it under check. If it is allowed to get out of the bottle again, non-Muslims will be ruined. Muslim league acted like thugs to get their own way. Same will happen again. Keep the status quo.

Do you know what uniform civil code is and why it was not implemented in India at the first place?

I earnestly request Mr Kuldip Nayar to go to Pakistan along with his young grand daughters (because his daughters might have become old), his young grand sons wives and other relatives having young ladies and live in Pakistan for three years and come back to India (provided they are not raped and converted to Islam) and propose a common border with Pakistan!
