"I wish I could send my greetings on this occasion to the people of Pakistan (whom I love as I regard them as fellow Indians) but I regret I cannot since I regard Partition of India in 1947 on the basis of the bogus two-nation theory..."

I was born in Lahore. My mother escaped massacre by hiding me n my sister under her body in a train to india. Playing dead. Most people were killed. One million people died in Partition. 10 million refugees. On both sides. India n Pakistan were created of the blood of one people.

On the 81st anniversary of his execution, Singh should be remembered not only as a martyr who avenged the Jallianwala Bagh massacre, but also as a universalist radical who championed cosmopolitan ideals of religious and class solidarity.

What is the solution to the Kashmir problem? To my mind, there is only one: reunification of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh under a secular government, which while upholding religious freedom does not tolerate religious extremism or bigotry. —Justice Katju
Right now, over 9,000 schools in Balochistan are without drinking water, toilets. When Indian Reunification occurs, this will no longer be a problem as a united India will be an economic superpower, with Balochistan being one of its wealthiest provinces.

, speaking of the importance of the Urdu language, called it, along with Sanskrit, a vital pillar of the Indian culture and said that neglecting or suppressing it is against national interest.
Pakistanis enjoy watching Indian movies due to a shared language, Hindi-Urdu, and a shared culture. Why should Pakistan and India remain separate? The cause of Indian Reunification is one worth pursuing!

Terrifying accounts of 5 Indians who were forced to migrate when India was partitioned.
Not undoing the cruel division of one people into two nations is to deny them, & countless other victims, justice.
Reunification is the answer. The only answer.
With the incorporation of its

reaches a solid milestone today. Being the sole sufferers of the British swindle of Partition, the former two provinces bore great losses and latter is still suffering.
In what is now the Pakistani province of Punjab, this elderly man talks about how Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims all lived peacefully before the partition of India!

This was the passport issued to indians wishing to visit Pakistan. Till 1962 indians were granted visa on arrival and they held special passports valid only for Pakistan. That was never used by Pakistanis.
