i agree about what you are saying about islamic unity in the practical sense. I dont know your religious background. I myself am what i would term moderately religious (whatever that means). However, when i do examine the words of the Prophet pbuh and the concepts he and the Quran promote, I can understand the importance of the idea of the Ummah. I encourage everyone to read and reflect on the Prophets last khutbah. Read it and really really think about it. We often get lost in the dunya and into irrelevant petty things. But as the Quran asks us to do, reflect on things.
As much as it may pain me sometimes to forgive and forget actions and words of fellow Muslims, i know that this is what is asked of us and it is for the greater good to let personal grievances pass and work for the pleasure of God. Ultimately we will all have our reckoning.
As this relates to the politics of South Asia. Although I believe there to be injustice done to East Pakistan by the West Pakistan govt way back when. And although people may minimize or deny it on one side, and not let go of things and bear grudges on the other, as a Muslim i believe the best course of action is to let the past be the past. Make amends internally, and focus on the challenges of the future.
More specifically, Bangladesh and Pakistan should bury any hatchets and work together to have some sembelance of balance in south asia.
