In Asian Voice, in the ‘Back to the Roots’ column and other news items as well as Letters, I have read about the future union of Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Such thinking is both baseless and dangerous.
My great grandparents and our entire family perished in the largest force migration at the time of partition.
What has happened since then? With all it’s problems by and large, India has been progressing on a peaceful path of prosperity and regional coexistence.
Though I see some good signs in Bangladesh, I caution against such wishful thinking of the original Hindustan. Let by gone be bygone.
