Reunification of India – A Possibility?

[gogbot]

The only the which can be done is asian union, but that is is very hard, because Asia is a continent rich in various cultures, so Living in peace without borders like europe is difficult... but yeah ,nothing is impossible, hope for the best...

India-China-Pakistan, Well thats more than a force the world would fear...

Earth, that would be a force capable of creation itself.

Reunification of India – A Possibility?

It is a distant reality.

 

[manglasiva]

It is a distant reality.

but the jihadis and other mad men will oppose such moves..and they'll move to INDIA with suicide squads

 

[Skies]

No spare time for this thread!

BTW, welllll, let start from the end. At first merge Pak and BD, then in second step merge Pak and India.

Again BTW, reunification is not possible at all and also not necessary.

So, better, try for some limited/full visa free access so that people can feel that they are living or traveling in his/her own country. That's what I proposed before between BD and Pak.

*I felt this necessity (limited/full visa free access) when I used to chat in yahoo in past with my Pakistani Friend.

1.Only under strong rulers like the Jains, Buddhists or Muslims was the subcontinent ever united. They all ruled with the strength of their faith, which was much stronger than today's "isms". Even the British directly ruled a part of the subcontinent. The other part was leased or ceded to compliant local rulers.

2. No wonder as of 1857, the British sought to decimate the Muslim power base, cultural influence and economic well being. In its place it has gradually brought in a revived Hindulva. Yes, the Brits have been behind the modern phase of Hinduism's rise from the ashes.

3. Communism was tried here early 20th century. In fact the world leaders of Communism had hoped, the subcontinent would be the birth place of a Communist State. Soon they realized they had not fathomed the deep hold of castism/classism over the Hindu society.

4. As unrealistic as it would be to believe the call:" Khalqe Khoda, Takhte Padshah, Hukumate Sipahi" may be heard again to reinstate the Mughal Emperor on the Kohinoor throne, so it would be to imagine the subcontinent would ever re-unite. The Brits played their card well.

You need to get a history lesson.

India has been united under by many leaders irrespective of religion and has existed long before many religions.

You are generalizing far to much. India History is far more complex.

Well I personally would love to see a world without borders i.e. no countries but I don't think that is possible hehehe stupid me

(1) What exactly you mean by rulers. BTW, India is united under present day government system as well. If this much region can be one, there is no reason a bit larger would not be.

(2) This is called systematic brainwashing backed by false/twisted history. And yes, Hinduism was never in ashes..

(3) I regret but I could not make anything out of this communism+subcontinent+Hinduism thing.

(4) As I guessed brainwashed upto last stage. Beliving in Gazwa-e-Hind...

Why would pakistan want to take on hundreds of millions of poor and uneducated indians?
A sure way of destroying pakistan is this silly notion of "Reunification" that can never work.

And we were thinking it is other way around......

Anyways I agree all this "reunification" think is meaningless. If we could manage to be a neighbour that would be enough.

 

[Icarus]

Reunification is another thing, first we must learn to co-exist as neighbours. In the 70s, Bhutto suggested there should be a system such as present day's EU, with free trade, Visa less entry, etc in south east asia, i feel had such a system been established, we would have been seeing much better days.

It strange Indian are asking for trust building, when they are not working in trust building direction. From Kashmir to Bangladesh and recent one in Siachin. Now what else ?...Indian need to show some goodwill and now what they are facing, all because of their bad past policies and still not ready to accept the mistake and not trying to correct them.

Yes, its reaction from your Indian army Siachin adventure...

Don't want to single out anyone but South Asia biggest misfortune is the kind of attitude which most of us suffer from....The first post partially is really good because it is suggesting to forget the bad policies in the past however ends up pointing India to not correcting her mistakes and being suggested to show some good will...

Second post is exactly a U-Turn because when it comes to one's own country then past becomes a reality...and anything bad was a reaction to something bad in the past....


This is not just Haider but many people's common reaction when it comes to India-Pak...My country a saint and yours evil...

@Back to Topic

As said in previous post re-unification is not going to happen and to me is not a very good idea...It will end up increasing problems rather than solving them... However the only path to progress is mutual respect and start learning about things called co-existence....As far as EU model is concerned then if people just look at the volumes of legal trade vs Illegal trade between India and Pakistan they will get to see the bigger picture...Though i admit it will take significant time before we(masses) even start thinking in those directions...

 

[HAIDER]

Again why India want Pak to ignore Indian act of land grabbing and accept India eternal right????....After reading all Indian post , came to conclusion,Every Indian act of war should be respond by peace process, initiated through Pakistan. Even whenever or whatever reason India accept, start or stop. That where Pakistan get annoyed......just same way, India stop the CBMs...

So you missed the whole point...don't you???? Read my post again(in case you were responding to mine)....The way you think my country has done wrong and Pakistan response is legitmate the same way i think your country and done wrong to mine and we have reacted to the situation...Now when you suggest that India should should show some goodwill then don't protect Pakistan blunders(like Kargil) to India's good will gesture(Lahore Bus Trip) citing examples of past(as you yourself suggested to ignore it)....Let me repeat this kind of hypocracy is our worst enemy and unfortunately people from both sides are party to it...

nah sorry too late i'm happier being independant P.S this article has a biased slant and talks of reunification only from the indians point of view.
