Pakistan on the road to recovery perhaps

Yesterday, I chanced to read again a bit from the novel 'Adha Gaon' by Rahi Masoom Reza.
Rahi Masoom Reza’s candid and controversial novel unfolds during the latter years of the Raj and the first decade of Independence and portrays the loves, fights and litigations of rival halves of a zamindar family. It attacks the creation of Pakistan and studies the abolition of the zamindari system and its repercussions at the village level. A semi-autobiographical tome set in the author’s village of Gangauli, in Ghazipur district on the fringes of Avadh, Adha Gaon, is full of passion and vibrancy, a powerful record of the meeting of Muslim and Hindu cultural traditions that bound Indian society together.
It is sad that we fight with each other in the garb of communalism. We are like siblings and still fight tooth and nail against each other. Those who love their villages can empathize with the sufferings in the novel. The writer says somewhere that he was happy to be known as the resident of Gangali village and was saddened when people started knowing each other as Shia, Sunni or Hindu.
On-the-neighbour's-front, I believe that India and Pakistan together can be a force to reckon with and this axis will upset the geopolitical balance in our favor perhaps.
With the restoration of democracy in Pakistan, there are chances that Pakistan will be able to overcome the challanges especially that of terrorism. The new PM Yousuf Raza Gilani has taken a very positive step of proposing to initiate dialogues with the militants so that they can lay down their arms and live peaceful lives. As per the new PM, 'war against terrorism' is Pakistan's own war as it has suffered a lot due to it. There has been an unprecedented increase in violence in Pakistan reently. The perils still exist. The PM has planned to reinstate the judges that were sacked by General Musharraf. This demacratically elected government has shown light at the end of tunnel and peace will perhaps return in Pakistan and elsewhere. We will perhaps experience a family reunion again.
Let us hope that India-Pakistan will forge warmer ties and will together grow in stature on all fronts.
