There were instances of Muslims rescuing Hindus and vice versa at great risk to themselves. Sociologist Ashis Nandy  says these account for at least 25% to 30% of all those who were saved from death at the hands of a mob. This is no exaggeration. The positive stories have largely remained untold. They were obscured by the larger tension and hatred.

wagah2Most people who follow South Asia have either watched the Beating the Retreat ceremony at Wagah on the India-Pakistan border on video or been there in person. The farcical and choreographed display by goose-stepping soldiers from India and Pakistan as they slam shut the gates on the border crossing is such a  staple for Western journalists that it has almost become too cliched to write about.

But having been there myself for the first time last week, after 10 years of following India and Pakistan, I can’t resist throwing in my own two cents’ worth.

Make peace, not war.

This is the message that two of the largest publications in India and Pakistan are sending their  countries in recent weeks. Since the start of the new year, the two have engaged in a veritable orgy of peace, using their publications and their television channels to inspire Indo-Pak friendship.

The drama began in early January when readers of India's most widely read English-language daily opened up its morning papers to a full-page advertisement under a bold banner, Love Pakistan. Since then, on the Indian side, the Times of India has dedicated big chunks of space to spreading that message, too.

February is the month of love. It’s time to give and receive love, and to make peace with people around us.

 

Let us take this opportunity to look beyond ourselves. Let us transcend our limitations and hesitations. Let us take a chance to attempt to live in peace and harmony with our social and natural environment.

Reclaiming shared cultures could resist the clamping of boundaries and challenge the mutually destructive paths that Indian and Pakistani states have imposed upon us as our destinies:

1947 was not just about India’s Independence, it was an initiator of identities imposed from ‘above’. The new postcolonial states ventured to redefine their status through a mix of jingoism, the rewriting of history and the whipping up of the nation-state mantra – essentially Western in concept and practice. The journey of South Asian people therefore, has been fraught with wars, hysteria and state diktat articulating itself through prejudiced educational curricula and state-sponsored historical half-truths.

Jaswant Singh in his recent book on Jinnah has praised the secular nature of Jinnah and has held Nehru-Patel responsible for Partition of India. Many people from Pakistan are praising Jaswant Singh’s book to the sky, while here in India there is a mixed reaction. Most strong one came from BJP President Rajnath Singh who hinted that any praise of Jinnah, will be met with strict action. The problem with such formulation, Jinnah was secular, Nehru-Patel were responsible for partition, is that it is an extremely superficial analysis and does not look at the complex multilayered phenomenon of partition tragedy. It totally by passes the role of British rulers and the different interests of diverse classes during freedom movement. The response to the book is either at emotive level, our leader versus your leader, or how dare you speak against our icon!

Allama Iqbal (the writer of Saare Jahaan se Accha, Hindustaan humaara fame) has nicely put the expectation from people of Hind (Indo pak together), whom he was seeing as leaders of the world..

 Sabaq perh phir sadaqat ka, adalat ka, shujaat ka

Liya jayey ga tujh say kaam duniya ki imamat ka

(Meanings: Sabaq = Lesson; Saqadat = Truth; Adalat = Justice; Shujaat = Bravery; Imamat = Leadership) 

The line also put down, the qualities a world leader should have. 

Forget about leading the world, do we have leaders who can lead their respective countries to progress, peace and prosperity?

Since this website ipfc.info finds its root from the famous Orkut community, IPFC , I will be soon updating the response from members of that community later, to this article in the comment section.

Readers are free to chip in their opinion as well.

“Before 2005, my Nana was the main obstacle between my Nani [in Pakistan] and her family [in India]. Now it’s the relationship between India and Pakistan.”

 

I am a 37-year-old British Mirpuri Kashmiri.  Four years ago, I came to Pakistan with the sole intention of taking my Nani, my maternal grandmother, across the Line of Control to meet her family on the other side of Kashmir.
