If I see our actions as a nation, it seems that we have not learnt any thing.
What a mess we have made of that great ideology. 36 years ago we were one nation. A nation which was founded on the principles of justice and freedom in the name of a religion which condemns all kind of discrimination, Islam as a religion does not allow any kind of unjust action.
Bangladesh ( a final product of 24 years of discrimination as I call it ) celebrated its 35th ‘Victory Day’ recently.
But we Pakistanis , as a nation don’t even want to remember it , why ?
Because it marks a ‘defeat’ which was an ultimate end of a dream, 24 years of mistakes, horrible bloodshed, traumatic agony, and shameful atrocities.
36 years ago , Indian army occupied Dacca and West Pakistani troops surrenderd.
We are trying our level best to kiss off that low-spirited , grief-stricken and lugubrious epsidoe of our history but do you mind to see what our neighbour is doing ?
They are celebrating of Vijay Diwas
What vijay diwas is ?
elll in India it is observed in commemoration of India’s victory over Pakistan in the 1971 war .

I don’t mind Bangladesh celebrating independent or victory day but why on the God’s earth Indians doing backflips in name of Vijay Diwas ?
P.s: It was indeed somber to see no 16 december thread on GS .
After those many encounters, that easy intimacy. we are strangers now
After how many meetings will we be that close again?
ham ke Thehre ajnabi itni mulaaqaatoN ke baad
phir baneiN ge aashna kitni madaaraatoN ke baad
kab nazar meiN aaye gi be daaGh sabze ki bahaar
khoon ke dhabe dhuleiN ge kitni barsaatoN ke baad
the bahut bedard lamhe khat’m-e-dard-e-ishq ke
theiN bahut bemeh’r subheiN meh’rbaaN raatoN ke baad
dil to chaaha par shikast-e-dil ne moh’lat hi na di
kuchh gile shikwe bhi kar lete manaajaatoN ke baad
un se jo kehne gaye the “Faiz” jaaN sadqe kiye
an kahi hi reh gayi woh baat sab baatoN ke baad
