Urdu evolved in India in the 12th century AD and drew inspiration from Hindi and
Parsee. Urdu follows Hindi grammer and it is written in Arabic script. This in
itself is a befitting example of Bharat-Pakistan relations.
It is the politicians who are responsible for keeping the relations bitter for
their own survival. If history is anything to go by, some Muslim scholars
translated the Bhagavad Gita in Urdu from the original Sanskrit script. Dara
Sikoh is a sterling example.
Ghazals are loved and appreciated by both Bharatiyas and Pakistanis. This
musical genre originated in Mecca in the 5th century AD. One great way of
restoring sanity in Bharat-Pak relations could be by organizing frequent musical
extravaganzas , wherein Ghazal singers of both the countries perform on a
regular basis.
In terms of trade and commerce, there is no direct trading between Bharat and
Pakistan. Bharat exports many commodities and Pakistan imports many, most of
which they procure at a higher price from the international market. If Pakistan
imports commodities from Bharat, then, Pakistan stands to gain considerably,
given its precarious economic condition.
The LOC or The Line of Actual Control in Jammu & Kashmir shall have to be
adjusted in such a way that both the countries can defend it and ultimately
become the International Border.
Cross country terrorism shall have to be stopped once and for all. Decades of
unabated Terrorism has eaten into the vitals of both the nations causing great
hardship and suffering.
Moru Tirtha Hinglaj is located in Balochistan. There are hardly any Hindus in
that area. I understand that local Muslims offer Pujas and also contribute to
the upkeep of the Purohits. If this is true, such gestures need to be further
encouraged and publicized.
The Indus Valley River Agreement between Bharat and Pakistan was signed in 1960;
Despite several battles fought between them, this agreement is still being
honoured. This is a positive sign in the midst of an otherwise bleak political
scenario.
The Punjabi Muslim leader Sikander Hyat Khan lamented that had he knew that
Punjab would be divided, he would have not asked for Pakistan. An exclusive
Sanskrit chair shall have to be established in a renowned University in Pakistan
and it has to be financed by Bharat.
I wish I could visit Pakistan and discuss these matters with the Pakistan Prime
Minister. I also hope that Bharat’s Prime Minister will give me time to discuss
these matters with him.
The great Bengali poet Kazi Nazrul Islam wrote – “ We, Hindus and Muslims are
two flowers in the same stalk; the Muslims are the eyes and the Hindus are the
souls. As the sun and the moon play on the lap of the same Mother Sky; We, the
Hindus and the Muslims play on the lap of the same country and we have the same
blood in our veins and the same umbilical chord connection.
Both Mr.
Shebaz Sharif (PM of Pakistan) and Shri Narendra Modi (PM of Bharat) shall have
to leave the old baggage behind and arch forward for mutual benefit.
I am sending copies of this blog to the Prime Minister of both the nations.
MY BRIEF INTRODUCTION:
I hail from a Bengali Brahmin family. In 1914, when my father was 20 years old, he started taking fish meals in the houses of Muslim villagers. He was a strong supporter of Hindu-Muslim unity. He was against partition. He told me that when partition became inevitable, it ought to have been carried out amicably by avoiding the heart wrenching genocide. Both the Hindus and the Muslis behaved as barbarians. Neighbours dismembered neighbours and then murdered them. At that time Bharat (Still Undivided)was under the British rule.
The gruesome attitude even surpasses the Nazis. The Nazis did murder the Jews through gun fire. When the bullets were in short supply, they put the Jews in gas chambers; the Nazis never tortured the Jews before murdering them.
When I was born in 02.09.1939, there was no Pakistan and Bangladesh; so Pakistan and Bangladesh are parts of my heart.
I want to play an important role in improving the bilateral relations between Bharat and Pakistan.
I pray to Allah – Hey almighty Allah! Please fulfil my wish!
JAY SHRI RAM. GOD IS GREAT. ALLAH HU AKBAR.
