Re: As a Pakistani would you like to come to India or vice versa
Often I think about Pakistan and the one place that comes to my mind is NWFP. Khan Abdul Gaffar Khan or the frontier Gandhi was from that place I suppose. Anybody from that area. Is it called the same today.
I would love to visit Pakistan for the following
1) Meet the people...
2) Understand how people who were together for so long would become such sworn enemies in a short time.
Now please start the usual rhetoric of religion and all that. I have Muslim friends here and us we always talk about this.

Called Khyber Pakhtunkhwa now...
i understand the rest of the word like Khyber and PaKhtoon/Pashtoon but what's this word Khowa? what does it mean? is it the Faarsii word KHOWAAH meaning Desired?

Indians have a historic, cultural and sentimental claim to the country that is modern-day Pakistan,
and Pakistanis have a historic, cultural and sentimental claim to the country that is modern-day India.
Of course, the same goes for BanglaDeshis also.
That is because Pakistan, Hindustan and BanglaDesh are all born of the same mother India.

Want to step outside?
"-istaan" is a FAARSI word added to other words to make it a 'place for that'...like GUL*istaan *[garden where gul=flowers reside]; PAK*istan *[a PAK (pure) place where Paki resides]; HINDU*staan* [where Hindus live] and REG*istaan*
WHILE
"asthaan" is a Hindi word for place. like teerath*asthaan; JALsthaan* [piyaaoo, drinking station] and POOJA*sthaan* is a place where poojas are offered.

The closest I have ever been to India was when I visited Wagah Border last year. At one point I was literally standing one metre away from Indian territory. My mobile phone actually switched from Warid to !dea. :)
Would love to visit one day. Taj Mahal would be on top of the places to visit then.
