Dear Karina
India can surely avoid unpleasant encounters with Pakistan and You Should be In Favor of this Idea.
Two Women I respect the Most in the World are Mother Teresa and Mukhtaran Mai
Mother Teresa for Selfless Service of Leprosy Patients in India and Mukhtaran Mai for her braveness. Mukhtaran Mai lives in Pakistan, has fought legal battles against the culprits of humanity. She runs a school, her students are girls. Hats off to Mukhtaran Mai.
About Your Picture and Your Present State of Mind
Please change your picture, tear drop doesn't look nice. Yes Our Pictures describe our Present State of Mind and I know that you are Sad but trust me Life is beautiful. I want to see you happy.
I know People of Pakistan Especially Youth of Pakistan, Youth of Pakistan considers India as an Ally
I have joined lots of Online groups of schools and colleges's students of Pakistan. They don't have anything unpleasant for India, all they want is development of Pakistan and Peaceful and Friendly Relations with India, China and America.
I am a great Fan of People of Pakistan. I like singers of Pakistan very much. Sufi Singers of Pakistan are unmatchable in the World. India also has Sufi Singers but they are few in number.
The Challenges before Youth of Pakistan and India are same
1. Our History
Karina, we can learn a lot from our History, separation of India and Pakistan was very painful. Lets Learn and move towards progress.
2. Presence of Fundamentalism/Extremism in our Countries
There are politicians in India (I can name them), there are politicians in Pakistan (have seen their Interviews), who try to shift the focus of people of their Country from (Poverty, Malnutrition, Under Development Corruption, Poor Health Care) to hatred and ill will against Other Country.
All Politicians are not Bad, Some of them are Pro Development because Only those are Corrupt who are Corrupt able to begin with.
3. Poverty and Inflation
India and Pakistan both have poverty. People survive on daily income of even less than a US Dollar or One Fourth of a Pound.
4. Healthcare
Healthcare Services are readily available but for only those who have money to pay for. If the projected expenditure of particular treatment (Heart Ailment) exceeds Rs 1 lakh, Hospital expects us to deposit 80 to 90 % of the amount of total expenditure before starting the treatment. This is the State of Healthcare in India and Pakistan which is way below than US, Canada and Europe.
5. Education
There are so many industries in India and Pakistan that employ under age children as laborers like Fire Crackers, Domestic Help, Glass Industry, Tobbaco Industry, Handicraft. They have no access to primary education.
6. Economy
Inflation has plagued our Economies. Food Items are costly and out of reach of people below poverty line. I have seen malnutrition ed babies in the arms of children who survive on leftover food in the garbage dumps.
7. Basis of Division
Basis of Division should be DEEDS and not Caste, Creed, RELIGION, Economic Status, Region etc.
We were divided on the basis of Religion.
It is SO UNFORTUNATE that
We India and Pakistan fight with each other and we have no idea that we live in the poorest and most under developed part of the world that is SOUTH ASIA. Look at Europe, its Developed, Look at America, Its Developed, Look at Africa, its developing Very Fast. We should understand and remove poverty.
Indian Politicians and Indian People
I have seen interviews of Leaders of Pakistan and India. I have seen Debates of Youth of Pakistan and India. I want to Request you that "Please don't take seriously the interviews or comments of some of the Politicians of India who earn their bread and political survival through Pakistan Bashing.
A Message from Me and All Young People of India for Youth of Pakistan and Especially You
We People of India have no ill will towards People of Pakistan, We here in India want Pakistan to be a Major Economic Power with no economic dependence on any Country or International Financial Institutions like World Bank and International Monetary Fund.
We People of India are happy to see Pakistan as Friend of China and America, after all our objective is Peace not only in South Asia but also in all parts of the World.
