Dual identity - Pakistani and Indian

Re: Dual identity - Pakistani and Indian

@TLK

They love both countries. They are not at the age where they could understand the rivalry that our countries share. I want my daughters to respect both countries and feel attached to them. Their hatred towards one is not going to change their roots so why even put that thought. They should be proud of their roots just like I am proud of mine.

Bravo! EXACTLY my point. I have pride in my roots, both Pakistani and Indian.

BUT, the next step is loyalty. If we separate pride in our roots from loyalty - can they be loyal to both?

CM used the example of war - something, most of us pray never happens in our lifetime, so let’s use the following examples where “loyalty” is tested:

1. War
2. Sporting events
3. Economic success
4. International stature

Where and when do loyalties have to be declared for one nation and when can you support both without being disloyal to the other?
