Re: Is it not a good idea to reunite India and Pakistan and save poor Kashmiris
I know that my idea of re-unification of India & Pakistan will seem outrightly ridiculous and utterly unpalatable to most Pakistanis including you. Unfortuantely most of the people get conditioned to think and believe in a particular way. This kind of tunnel vision prevents them to see beyond a point. They fail to see the advantages lying ahead.
Since you have used the word MEMON in your reply, so I want to inform you that just before partition, Calcutta happened to be the financial and commercial capital of undivided India. This city was completely dominated by enterprising memon business houses. Enterprising memon businessmen were first time in a position to challenge the suprimacy of Marwaris (A powerful business community who constitutes under 2% of Indian population but controls a whopping 35% of Indian economy). But alas, the partition brought an abrupt end to the awesome and flourishing golden period of memon business houses in India. They lost an opportunity to grow further in a vast country. Half of the memon population got displaced and moved to Pakistan. Several memon families got separated for ever(my grandmother could never see her mother, brother & sister and died with her wish unfulfilled). My dear “Pya…”, wouldn’t you like Indian and Pakistani memons to get re-united?
I had satrted this thread to talk about the hardships being suffered by Kashmiris and have ended up talking about memons. I am so sorry.
