The Yearning for Peace

We can forget about India and Pakistan merging, anytime in the near future or any time at all. Even though the BJP types talk about an `Akhand Bharat`, it is more in nostalgic terms or to use as a threat. Why would any sane Hindu in India, particularly a sangh parivar type, want more Muslims in India, by an union with Pakistan? It would only dilute the political and economic power that the Hindus have in India, due to a 82% majority. This power has come only through democracy of numbers, after centuries of slavery under the colonial and Islamic invaders.
I dont think any sane Pakistani Muslim would want Pakistan to merge with India, either. Even though there might be economic benefits (doubtful), why would you want to submerge in an ocean of 800 million Hindus, when you have your own Islamic haven with near zero minorities?
In fact, the only significant group that might want an Indo-Pak merger would be Indian Muslims, as the increase in Muslim population would increase their political power and standing within the country.

``I hope the Indian government will see the light and give us back this land. ``

Give us back??? When did you have it in the first place?

``This is the feeling of all in Pakistan because kashmir is in our blood and soul. ``

Simply amazing how you have survived 50 years without your blood and soul complete. I am sure if you can manage 50, you can manage 50,000 years as well.

Anyways, if peace was upto Sabziwalas and time pass people like us, we still would not have achieved it.

kashmir is in our blood and soul.

It`s a shame you can`t live in peace until you lose your blood and soul too. Hope you will change your mind.

Interesting perspective from a peacenik. Can`t wait for Jay to enter this particular china shop. The sentiments you heard expressed by a handful of people, i have heard from a hyderabadi pakistani who believed that the two countries should simply merge and that would get rid of all the acrimony!
