and look at our media.

A. Hameed probably many in the new generation dont know him, for he belonged to the era who witnessed and reported making of PAKistan, he was last of his kind.

best known for his adventures and supernatural stories, and one of the master pieces was MUSLIM AMRATSAR.

A hameed was 7 when he first ran away from home, he was fond of jungles of Asaam.

his father wrote to everyone he knew that "if you find my son, just hold him and I will come and collect him".

he also never went back to Amratsar, because he hated the fact that its no longer a Muslim Amratsar.

I'm an ancestral Jalandhri with some relations from Amritsar. My late paternal grandfather alaways pined for Jalandhar and Amritsar. He used to tell me that had the partition been correct, Jalandhar certianly and Amritsar probably would have been in Pakistan. He had the opportunity to go visit many times as his hindu and sikh friends wrote to him many times inviting him for a visit. He did not go, why? Because he did not want to go back to a place where my greatgrandmother was martyred in her house while reciting Quran by Sikhs (this was before Lahore riots and witnessed by my late grand uncle who was only a child at the time), where muslims had been killed wholesale by hindus & sikhs. He hated these two till the day he passed away from the core of his heart. As much as he hated India and sikhs and yindus, the intensity of his love for Pakistan and muslims was greater. He passed the same intensity of both to his children, nephews, nieces, grandchildren and grand nephews nieces etc. I for one intend to pass it on to mine whenever Allah so blesses me.
The picture in my head of Jalandhar and Amritsar is composed of Abaji (my gramps) and A Hameed's description of these two cities.
BTW A Hameed was an aquaintance of my Abaji through Muneer Niazi late who was a neighbour of my mother's aunt who lives only a street away from our house. I remember as a child going with Abaji to their house where these 4 men (my grand uncle, Abaji, MN and AH) would talk for ages about their beloved cities and the blood bath by the sikhs and hindus.
They used to say that sikhs will one day despair siding with hindus and that hindus will never be peaceful neighbors what to say of being friends. The old men were not wrong on any account.

Amratsar was definitely going to be part of PAKISTAN.
