I completely agree with you. In my opinion South Asian region from the end of 1940's was chosen by the war industry. We have seen that in last 60-70 years lot of business given to the war industry. The politicians were making money by sowing the seeds of hatred.
Now we have covered lots of distance in time. This region is getting educated. People are sharing different internet media to exchange views.
Before reading this article, I did not know how much Bangladesh was dependent on India. I had the memories which were typically from one side. For example, one of my close friend's uncle who was major in Pakistan Army, he was killed (not in war, but kidnapped by the........) and his wife and kids were burned later on. Only one of their child was saved who was in west Pakistan. Right now he is a successful doctor in US.
Stories like this are just one sided. Now, instead of playing into the hands of politicians and the gun industry. People should start accommodating each other.
People are same everywhere. This world is as much yours as it is mine. We just share a part of this world for a while and that's it. I have seen Pakistanis, Indians and Bangli's living in the west and they are very close to each other.
Question, why over there they forgot all these hate sentiments. The answer is all these things are very small and relative to certain time and space. Solution for all these problems is, we have to be broad minded.
Together we can change lives of lot many other people. Let's join hands.
