Division of India in to India and Pakistan is the sad reality without which the world scenario would have been different. First of all the unaccountable monetary and human loss would not have happened. The great Indian nation would have been strong enough to silent any enemy including China.
It was the result of a planned hatred campaign. The seeds of this hatred was sown by the leaving Britishers. Added by the selfish and impatient attitude of few leaders, this hatred campaign resulted in bifurcation of this country.
Problem now is not that we are two different countries, problem is that still we are not at ease. We (both Pakistanis and Indians) are yet to recover from that hatred campaign. The fact is that hatred campaign/ other forms of attack on India comes like life saver to the rulers of Pakistan now and then. At the same time inefficient, irresponsible, selfish, liar and coward politicians/ administrators of India use blaming Pakistan and its ISI as safe corridor to come out of any difficult situation.
But among all this there are few good things on both sides. Specially when there are democratically elected governments in power in Pakistan, relations are better. Though Pakistani text books teach hate to the young Pakistanis which Indian text books don't, there have been many national friends in both the countries towards the other side. From Pakistan to name few from beginning- Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan, Mulkraj Anand, Bhuttos, Nusrat Fatah Ali Khan and so many; really i don't know most of their names. People on both the sides behave in a friendly manner. That is the biggest hope for future.
What we on either side of the border have to understand that unity and co- operation is the need as we are neighbors and together we can do a lot. The mistrust is un- treatable only between the governments, with masses all that needs is shaking hands with each other and all the confusions will be over. No one wants to un- do 1947, but every one wants peace which is necessary for development. There are few people who feel that they can cheat the other one, and I have only one sentence for them; "future will not forgive you as you ugly design is not going to remain hidden for ever".
