boundaries

often I am amazed to see the distorted map of India on BBC. The parts of the Jammu and Kashmir which are integral parts of India and now under the PAK known as POK are not shown as part of India. What if we erase part of North Ireland from teh map of UK since it is an occupied territory. Then I know, elite group will cry and criticise our sensibility.

LOC is a good serial being aired at the Star Plus channel and must be watched by the migrants community in UK. If it at all possible. The aisan community living in UK should unite together and live in Harmony as we did in the PRE-PARTITION era. and i dont suppose that on other side of border people still enjoy hte harmony or not.
I also many times think that what PAKISTAN children may be reading as HISTORY. Since the nation came into being only in 1947. Once in UNESCO publication I read on the cover 5000 years heritage of PAKISTAN. I could laugh and bemused. but shocked to read that. HOW come PAKISTAN had a golden 5000 year heritage?? Thus thought came into mind about the level of sensibility of the ELITE group- which often consist of less informed, self proclaimed scientist people- nominated in international bodies, and belong to West- have towards the EAST.
No body voiced the resentment over the publication. MOHAN jodaro lies in the political boundaries of PAKISTAN But since centuries that part have been the part of the very indian thought. We know it from the period of CHANAKYA and the invasion by the Alexander known as SIKANDER, with whom our HERO the king PURU fought.
Mahatma Gandhi must not be happy over the partition and i am sure that ABDUL Gafar Khan must be feeling same. India is great. WHY ? Since my childhood I know, read over time about ABDUL GAFAR KHAN who is often known as contemporary of GANDHI Ji, as the Frontier Gandhi. and still in my world of thoughts he has prominent place. But Can I think any such thing about a child from PAKISTAN. Most and Many of the bigwigs of PAKISTAN must have been born on the soil of INDIA and same is the position on this side. SO why and where is the Barrier.
