As I'm neither a 'lover' of what the Pakistani leading forces support in their country and the political narrative they peddle (be it private adversary endeavours like shown in Pathaan nor the supporting terrorist deads planned and done by Islamic criminals Pakistan harbours and/or send to India), I would call out Pakistan for that at any time.
However, what the new narrative does, happens in India without Pakistani support... it is a narrative peddled by forces inside India to further a divide... and t h a t, my love for India doesn't tolerate as I got a well crafted example in my own country. Hence my protests.
Every Indian government after the partition had to deal with the diversity of religious systems in India... they may have done blunders and mistakes, but there had been serious endeavours to de-escalate a divide between Indians on the reason of religion.
Unfortunately, often very crucial issus got forgotten to deal with - e.g. corruption and caste issues, betraying the own population about what "democracy" r e a l l y means. India has a constitution which not get followed respective to very important parts relative to human rights. That doesn't diminish my love for the country and its population but it is a serious issue since the British showed that they wanted to leave the country on its own... they never ever should have bowed down to extremist forces out of getting bored to deal with... they just escaped the responsability they so easily used to colonise a country that never asked to get colonised.
This is my first & last time ill reply to you coz I dont wish to engage in this particular topic..to each their own ..
I shared the same view as yours when i was young ...non violence , peace between communities , brotherhood , so on & so forth ..but more i delve deep into this topic I realized, the community whose allegiance lies with their religion & not india, till the time this is the reality , peace is a far fetched dream ..
all these years , india & hindus were passive abt this whole thing bec the govt in power played appeasement politics ..muslims are nothing but vote bank to them , they themselves give 2 hoots to their community , their well being & their people ....kindness & compassion is a two way street.....india is misconstrued as gandhi/ ahimsa country...."bhaay bin hoye na preet" ..in order to keep anti social anti national elements in check , Danda raj is needed ..we need it more bec we are "secular" & democratic..
now coming to solutions, there isnt any ..im not looking for one...this is one of the major blunders, a historical mistake like israel Palestine, Kashmir , north korea South Korea, & so on..These problems will exist till the time divides exist ..divides will exist till humanity exists ...
If Palestinian was originally inhabited by arabs n they must conquer their land bk from israel , bharat was always a land of Hindus..at least this point cannot be contested..
