Dear Pervaiz,

Thank u for your quick response. As far as my health is concerned there is

    Mohammad Ilyas

good news. The Doctors have diagnosed it as '' Bells palsy’’. Known as nerve disorder, which can be cured by strong drugs, anyway please remember me in your prayers.

Now to your wonderful subject of the ''day'' India & Pakistan Independence day is really wonderful.   Let me also congratulate both Indian & Pakistanis on both 14/15 August.   I am a great believer in coming to the table & having all the disputes sorted out in a peaceful manor. After all no matter what we do & where ever we go, sooner or later we will have to sort out our differences, because the fact of the matter is that there are more things that unite us that keep us apart, in other words there are more common that UN-common things among us, so the sooner we get together the better for all of us, because the challenges ahead for both our beloved countries are so big that even if we spend all our energies in one direction that is for example having a common fight against poverty, illiteracy, bad health etc, it will takes us decades to over come that.....so let us get cracking.......
 
 Now its always easier said than done....the way forward or the start should be 1st of all by openly admitting where we went wrong & that is for both the counties....You know I can only find one example in recent history, where the people came to terms by forming '' Truth & reconciliations commission '' in South Africa. This is what made Nelson Mandela really a great statesman of all times. By forgiving
all the white community of South Africa for the price of having to admit of their past crimes, Mandela paid a tribute to that great man in the history of mankind who having suffered so much at the hands of his own people 1500 years ago in a place called Mecca, forgave nearly all, when he entered the city as a conqueror & everybody who was responsible for committing crimes against his innocent followers was at his mercy. This man was of course the one & only Mohammed pbuh.
 
You know interestingly when Advani recently visited Pakistan, he caused so much trouble back home in India when he said that Qaid e Azam Mohammed Ali Jinnah was a secular minded person. He was absolutely right. Mohammed Ali was considered to be the greatest ambassador of Hindu & Muslim unity up to the late 1930,so now the question is what went wrong that Mohammed Ali Jinnah decided that enough is enough & went his own way.... I think this can only be answered by our Hindu friends, especially the members of the congress party of India.....why suddenly Jinnah lost all confidence in Hindu leadership of his time that he didn't trust them at all so he went for the rights of Muslims alone & demanded Pakistan....Our Hindu friends owe us the answer to this intriguing question....I hope they  come forward for the sake of the truth..........
 
Being bigger of the two '' brothers '' the responsibility is also far greater on the shoulders of our Indian brothers. Since they are feeling more '' hurt '' by the division, they also have the responsibility to come forward to '' patch up '' the differences.....here is a word of advice....they should learn a lesson from a past ''super power '' I mean Soviet Union & stop trying to pile up Arms which is good for no one....as far as the claims by the Indian brothers of having a threat of any kind from Pakistan is not only laughable, it is also  humiliating * disgraceful to our Indian brothers....If that is true then the Pakistanis are absolutely right in thinking that each Pakistani is equal to 10 Indians( although Pakistan is nearly 10 times smaller in population as well as land  )....this really is a shame.........so please please let us get together & stop this madness of hating each other & start thinking of our people which are the real owners of these counties called INDIA & PAKISTAN.
