An Indo-Pak Royal Wedding

. . .
Jaipur all set to host Indo-Pak royal wedding

The strained Indo-Pak relations could not dent the cross border and cultural ties of Rajasthan with the people living in Pakistan.
Amid the anecdotes of strong cross border bonding, a high profile marriage between royal families of Jaipur and Pakistan is a much talked about event in the desert state. On February 20, Kunwar Karni Singh Sodha of Amarkot (Umerkot) district of Sindh in Pakistan will tie the knot with Rani Nalini Prabha of Kanota royal family of Jaipur district of Rajasthan.

The royal family of Amarkot holds immense significance in Indian history as Mughal emperor Jalal-ud-din Muhammad Akbar was born and brought up in this Rajput family when his father Humayun fled from military defeat at the hands of Sher Shah Suri.

“The engagement ceremony was held last year and a few family members had gone to Pakistan. The wedding function will take place at Narain Niwas Palace of Jaipur on February 20,” said a close family member of Kanota royal family. Amarkot is also one of the few provinces that had never been conquered by any invader, including Mughals, he added.

Around 500 guests from Pakistan are expected to attend the marriage in Jaipur. All the guests will come by Thar express and special request has been sent to both India and Pakistan governments regarding this. Members of Kanota Royal family said, Rana Hamir Singh, father of the bridegroom, had been an assembly member of Sindh province while grandfather Chandra Singh has been a member of Pakistan national assembly. Sources in the family also said that more than 40 prominent royal families of north India will attend the marriage. The family shares strong bonding with Bhutto family of Pakistan and speculation is rife that the Bhuttos may also attend the marriage.

“Whatever problems may exist between India and Pakistan, people on both sides are strongly connected. Apart from the royal wedding, there are hundreds of families living in border districts of India and Pakistan, who generally solemnise the marriage of their children on the other side of the border. Such relations cannot be decided on basis of Indo-Pak ties,” said Hindu Singh Sodha, president of the Seemant Lok Sangathan, an organisation working for the cause of the migrants.


I once met the late Raja Chandar Singh (late) with my Father.... During discussion he mentioned why Pakistani hindus (specially from Sindh) marry in nearby Rajhistan....

1)No suitable "rishtas".
2)Small population
other social,religious factors.

He said that they have no other option to marry in india ... despite the visa issues etc they later face.

Anyways good luck to the couple.

At least their female children will not be killed before birth in Pakistan.

We welcome the new couple and wish them happiness.
Unbecoming remark from an Admin

Amarkot has been renamed Umerkot in Pak to divest it from Hindu linkages IMHO

There is a thread to the to effect here.

You spend days showing Pakistanis your version of reality, take one for the team.

But when Admins make off topic posts and troll, what moral right do they retain to moderate the forum. Without that moral right, its just like terrorism - might is right. Dont you agree?

I think @Horus is well within his rights as a member first (and then an Admin) to troll and/or make cheap comments.

I do not think they get paid for the job they do. So why would any normal Indian or Pakistani give up his divine God sanctioned right to take potshots at the other side for nothing? It would be extremely masochistic.

Just that I feel that like normal members, Admins too should be open to review and/or disciplinary action if they cross the forum line. The mechanism can be decided. Something like a peer 360?

Things like time spent on the forum, age, responsibility and maturity should show in actions, thats all.

If Horus is Aeronaut, then he cannot be accused of any of these even when he was a commoner. Except time spent on the forum. Which in itself is a key eligibility criterion in terms of survival.
