I don't know whether you have gone through this link of quora before...
It is something which taught me much more than many books...
Because
of our policy makers, we are injected with infected with ideas of
hatred... we could not even identify the difference between each other,
yet, we see each other with suspicion...
Sadly, we are still
unable to change, reverse the mistake done during the period of our
forefathers... we are unable to stop being greedy, self centered and
sectarian about the world...
our prejudice rule over our real values...
In
an athletic competition, we enjoy the victory of a guy living in the
eastern side close to Indo- Pak border, while are not happy when a guy
who live just a mile to the western side of the border... these two guys
comes from almost the same village... but still we see both in a
different way... we call it patriotism... isn't there something wrong
with our 'patriotism' here? these two guys have nothing to do with us in
reality, since they are nearly 3000 miles away from us, and yet we, in
our heart keeps a small love towards one, while a small hatred or grudge
towards the other... we see their victories in different angle... and
still we don't know why we could not see and enjoy both the victories in
same way...
This is where I am now stuck...
:)
I
love India too much... and I don't know why I could not love
pakistan... I don't know how a line drawn by an English man, who died long ago, created
these thoughts of hatred (or indifference) in my mind...
I traveled to North India
after my mains examination... I went to Mumbai, Jaipur, Delhi and Agra... and found
that I was at home, I felt like home at all those places... I met many people... I did not
face any discrimination for I being a malayali...
and the most
important thing is... The people over north may (not all, just few, just like here) behave a bit rude (or we just mistake their way of speech for rudeness)... but
in reality, they are far far better than we keralites... they don't
keep grudge in heart and smile outwardly... they don't cheat with a
smiling face as we do... may be they are a little bit less educated, but
at heart, they are loads better than us....
and after that
journey, since I could not find any difference between us other than
the language, I just want to travel through Pakistan... to know what is
the difference between I and them... After reading this quora article, I
strongly believe I could not find much difference...
:) just few thoughts...
anywhere
and everywhere, there would be a minority who acts differently, and we
just see the small black dot at the middle of the white paper... we just
forgot about the white side of the remaining paper....
