Indian and Pakistan

It’s high time that these two countries should sincerely try to live like good neighbours.

It’s a shame the way we two have been squabbling for decades. Both the parties should be a little or more guilty and eager to mend their ways so we could live like ideal neighbours and pursue better grounds than battlegrounds.


Though we have been acting exactly like a pair of siblings since 1947; we should try not to further hostility. If the common people of India and Pakistan bond with each other the hostility will disappear by itself. We should give that a sincere try. Cricketers, artists are common people, they are not waging wars.

We have been pulling down each others for decades, we should seriously think about permanently destroying/curing this mindset and flourish together.

Well, I appreciate the courage which both Khans have shown by speaking out their mind. Which every person can and should. In my eyes both of them are true Indians and will always be so before criticizing or insulting them we may do a little soul search, in case if we are sowing only the seeds of hatred for our neighbours.

Strife

In this overcrowded planet the vessels (us) are viciously hitting each other. One day its “attack on Indians in Australia.” The next day its “Mumbai is for Maharashtrians.”

Can’t we share the whole world? Why not? I am not asking people to instantly dream like John Lennon did in “Imagine”. But can’t we work toward it, slowly?

It’s true that when a person relocates and strife occurs with the local people, it’s mostly because of multiple reasons, not one.

Sometimes people feel they are stealing their bread, sometimes their cultures clashes. Sometimes one of the quarrelling parties invites that trouble- by bullying or by looking down on others.

Hatred can never be solution of any thing. We should grow out of the concept that we can bully others or we can divide the world into tiny segments.

It’s not necessary that the host is always at fault, sometimes the guest or freshers too cross their limits. Any one who is going to Rome and planning to settle down there should either act like Romans or should not do any thing which infuriates them.

I personally have seen people of other provinces that live in west Bengal look down upon Bengalis or say insulting words mentioning the word “Bengali”. Bengalis are infamous for their timid nature, every one else might not be so. Its but natural that people will be protective toward their roots and identity.

If we observe then we will realize that people who keep a low profile in a new place are usually ignored/accepted by locals, for good or for bad. But if we stand out too much apart from locals then strife begins and sometimes takes ugly form.

When strife occurs both parties should analyze their behaviour and I believe both will have to modify themselves. Actually if people act in a matured manner then strife don’t occur at all.
