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.

Okay PP bhai, we get it. You are not particularly fond of CB. But this is getting to be borderline stalkerish. So let’s all take a deep breath and take it easy please before there is a restraining order taken out on you and you aren’t allowed to post within 3 threads of her. Thanks
Re: Dear Indians | We are NOT west Germany - Every Pakistani should read
in a world where most Indians are bending over backwards to disassociate themselves and de-hyphenate their country from Pakistan, i find it amusing that anyone takes seriously the idea that Indians seek a reversal of partition. i understand if this misguided self-flattery is a coping mechanism given the current state of affairs in Pakistan but we should call a spade a spade - it is a ludicrous suggestion.
Some Indians may still talk of how partition was a mistake - it should be clear that this view is not interchangeable with a desire to reunite with Pakistan. the Indians who refer to partition as a mistake are either nostalgic old grandfathers who say such things with brotherly intentions or they are hardliners who are actually most hostile to Pakistan and least interested in any type of relations let alone reunion.
the more reasonable Indians acknowledge the very different paths and trajectories taken by the two countries and simply wish for peaceful coexistence. they think along the lines of germany and france…not west germany and east germany.
