Another appeal which laid the foundations for partition

Another appeal by the founder of the Pakistan Muslim Movement which laid the foundations for the partition of India into India for the Hindus and Pakistan for the Moslems. And today, while the Indians and Pakistanis may be proud of their respective countries, such myopic and divisive short sighted views of some individuals only brought misery, death and destruction and displacement to millions or ordinary people who bore the brunt of these actions. Even Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan is said to have admitted before his death that the partition was the biggest blunder of his life. Today the two nations still view each other with suspicion and mistrust, fueled further by idiot politicians on either side who want to keep the animosity alive,

probably for their own personal political agendas. Today's young generation will hopefully change all this, for in this era of social media, most youngsters draw no lines based on skin colour, race or religion. (Amritsar, Punjab, northern India, Nov. 2017)
