Pakistan - Our blood related hostile neighbor

 Before India was independent there were many mass uprisings against the British rule by people of all communities. Unity in diversity was the biggest strength the society then possessed and everybody had a single goal of overthrowing the British out of our country. Many political leaders and organisations took active part in making this dream come true and finally in 1947 India was independent of once viewed as a never ending imperialism of the British. But were we independent in real sense...............
                         Soon after India was independent it was divided into two nations on the basis of religion
following the British divide and rule policy. A separate nation of Pakistan was created. The reason for which our society was cherished certainly seemed to be on verge of subversion .And this partition was not the end of the crisis. Thousands of hindus and muslims were mercilessly killed, homes were burnt and lakhs injured following the communal riots that arose. This bloody game of so called partition was regarded as the blackest day in the Indian history. So Pakistan was created by pouring down the blood of thousands of innocent people. And till now 63 years after partition its horror is not over and virtually will never be over.
             Pakistan is basically a Muslim country formed after British India was partitioned into two the other being divided India with majority of Hindus. And since partition Pakistan has been our bloody enemy and at least 4 major wars have been fought between both. There has been basically sour relations between both even though certain measures had been taken to improvise on the relations. The major issue being Kashmir issue,an issue yet to be solved. Kashmir, during the British rule had been a princely state and after partition when other princely states were joining to either India or Pakistan, the then king of Kashmir, Hari singh, decided not to join any of the countries and remain independent. But Kashmir being a Muslim majority state was subjected to invasions by Pakistani forces. The king became helpless and asked for Indian help. India agreed to help on the condition that the state was acceded to India in return. The king signed the instrument of accession and made Kashmir a part of India. Indian army immediately took to action and stopped further Pakistani invasion.
The matter was then taken to the UN and a cease fire was declared. India claimed Kashmir to be its integral part and declared the accession as final ,on the other hand Pakistan did not accept the accession and termed it to be illegal and forcibly done by India and thus demanded a vote of Kashmiri people to the UN which is yet to be done.Since then Kashmir has remained a bone  of contention between both. In 1972 Simla agreement a line of control was demarcated in  Kashmir to relive tensions but it still continues. And since Siachen war in 1984 the relations were worsened and Pakistan had made several attempts to cause disturbances on the Indian side of Kashmir. It has created terror outfits and trained the terrorists in its soil. Lots of people have been killed so far in the Kashmir valley and it seems unending.
        The 1971 war was another instance which separated east Pakistan from Pakistan and Bangladesh was created as a result. India played the major role in the creation of  Bangladesh for which Pakistan reacted strongly making the relations worse. Lots of people in east Pakistan were killed and several homeless who took refuge in India. The 1999 Kargil war was also because of the attempts made by Pakistan to invade Kashmir valley and it continues till now.
                   This was about the Kashmir issue. There are also other issues which are indeed a threat to our national integrity. There are strong evidences of all the terror outfits in the Pakistani Kashmir to have direct links with Pakistani army and Pakistan's intelligence ISI. It is a fact that Pakistani army trains these terrorists
and funds them with money and modern weapons. ISI has been suspected to carry out the Mumbai train blasts and 26/11 attacks on Taj hotel and several other places. On the other hand Pakistan also suspects Indian external intelligence agency RAW to carry out several serial blasts in Pakistan by funding the Taliban  and to have spread bad air in Baluchistan against Pakistan govt.
                               Other issues have also been there which are also equally disturbing. The drug tunnels discovered by the Indian sources on the India Pakistan border has been a major cause of concern. The illegal
drugs as well as arms smuggling has direct links to Pakistan and Mumbai underworld plays a major role in it.
It is also suspected that maoists in India are supplied with arms through this.
                               With so many issues there, several attempts have been made to build a peaceful atmosphere between both countries. There has been bilateral meetings of premiers of both the countries to solve problems and bring peace. The starting of Samjhauta express between Lahore and Amritsar and bus service between Srinagar and Muzzafrabad for instance have been quiet encouraging. Also during the 2004 earthquakes in Pakistani Kashmir Indian army came forward with a helping hand to Pakistan which was welcomed by both the countries. So these have been some instances which have made relations improve to certain extent but the main issues still remain unsolved.
                              Created of same blood, actually India and pakistan are blood brothers but have become
blood pouring enemies of each other. Well we are certainly waiting for the day when we can really say
                                           "Hindustan  Pakistan  bhai bhai"
May love overcome hatred and both remain in peace for ever. Both India and Pakistan will then rock.
