It is a part of Indian culture that when a person is dead, all his shortcomings are forgotten and only goods are told. If that person is murdered, then this is done with more sympathy towards his/her. When Indira Gandhi was killed, all her sins were pardoned and her novoce son was made prime minister with four fifth majority. When Rajiv was murdered, all this alls were again forgiven and Congress was given near majority in other phases of the poll. The same is happening in Pakistan. Benazir's party is trying to ride on the wawe of sympathy, although she was known to be much corruped politician during her rule.

I bet she never ate "grass". That "good fortune" is the destiny of the poor and those not educated at Harvard and Oxford!
How can she have said that Pakistan and India were never one country. Whatever the ethnic background of the people living in these two countries prior to partition they were certainly not muslims until the 6th century onwards. I think they were mostly Hindus.
And when did being in a minority give the majority cart-blanche to terrorise and "get their back" at them? Such talk is dangerous. No wonder Pakistan continues to live life on the "edge of a sword". It would not matter to me if it was contained in their country. Unfortunately their biggest gripe is with India and thus it ultimately effects Indians. Pakistan needs to move on and make their country proper "not look back in anger" with imagined hurt and grief. All our people suffered.
