Re: Dear Indians | We are NOT west Germany - Every Pakistani should read
Talk about yourself, dude! I don’t eat bones.
I work under an elderly Indian guy. Recently, at the office holiday party, some coworkers and their +1’s were discussing everyone’s background and someone made a comment about Pakistan-India partition. The Indian uncle jumped in and said how partition was a mistake. The politicians and media are to blame for creating hatred in people’s hearts. He blames the politicians of olden times for their “vision” of a separate entity that caused so much bloodshed and broke so many friendships. He then shared the story of Google reunion advertisement that hit the social media last month.
I didn’t say anything at the time, mainly because I don’t like to argue with people when they’re drunk. However, I know him well enough to know that his intentions were not mean or cruel. He is the one who hired me and constantly has my back at work. His words: “Hamaare log bohut smart aur hardworking hote hain. I have faith in your ability to do well and make me proud.”
He wasn’t suggesting that India and Pakistan should reunite. Just that they should make peace.
I have many other Indian friends and none of them have any extreme views or hatred towards regular Pakistanis. Of course, extremists are everywhere. But I think this is a gross generalization on your part to suggest that the average Indian has an agenda to take away Pakistan’s independence.
