Hey everyone,
This is my second post ever on this website and I believe that some may view what I say as controversial and it may be long but I implore you to read it fully because i still believe it needs to be said. I think it's about time that Indian's and Pakistani's reconciled their differences and buried the hatchet. How much longer can we go on fighting each other with no end in sight ? Why can't the two countries become Asia's version of Canada and the United States? I believe that India and Pakistan can become friends. Not just neutral countries but actual friends with both countrymen interacting with each other and mingling freely. 200 years ago Canada burned down the White House. France, England and Germany are allies despite World War 2. Denmark and Sweden fought for centuries over ownership of Norway. Clearly there is a precedent for war-time enemies to eventually become allies. So why can't we ? I have great respect for Pakistan's army in addition to my respect for India's army. I have also heard a lot of things about Pakistan that make me want to visit it. Yes, we have issues. Kashmir and other such problems are unlikely to be sorted out soon but that doesn't mean that they can't be solved and that we can't come to an agreement that both countrymen agree to. Countries that have fought bloody wars with each other are friends today. We're both even friends with Britain despite the 200 years of British rule. Hence why can't we reconcile each other. I want to be able to meet Pakistani friends over a cup of tea and I want both of us to be able to make fun of each others or our own nations without and animosity or hurt feelings like Barney and Robin do in "How I met your mother" (Any fans ?). We even have many cultural similarities and are both classified as desi. There are many places in pakistan that I would love to visit some day such as the Swat valley, Karachi, Lahore and the beautiful northern regions such as the "Hunza valley" and "Nagar valley" or "Nanga Parbat." Both countries even suffer from similar problems such as terrorism and corruption. We can solve these problems together and hence I ask you to consider solving the issue between us and burying the hatchet. Let's give peace a chance.
As an additional note I am creating a blog where I post pictures about the rich culture, beauty, food and countrymen of each country so that people may know more about each other. Any pictures you may have about India or Pakistan's people, beauty, culture etc can you post it in the thread ? Also one day I hope to organise a video chat on the blog so Indians and Pakistani's can talk face to face. Would that be something you guys would be interested in ?
