India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh were one country before the Brits divided us in 1947 on the premise that Muslims and Hindus could not live in peace together. We have proved them wrong. India now has a Muslim President and the President of Pakistan was born in India. If the two Germanys could unite, if the two Koreas want to unite, what is wrong with the fragments of undivided India wanting to unite.

We are one people, we look the same, we dress the same, and we speak the same language.

Here's to reunification of the Indian subcontinent--the best bet against terrorism.

PS. Muslims have more freedom in India than in any other Islamic country. You even come across Muslim atheists in India--something unthinkable elsewhere.

Thank God for the Brits to have the courage to divide India. An un-divided India would have been a huge headache for minorities everywhere. They say about a million people died during the India-Pakistan division. If they hadn't more than 10 times would have been dead. India and Pakistan are much better off separate. In fact, I wouldn't even mind seeing ten different countries carved out of India.

India is a giant Yugoslavia. Different parts of India should separate into different countries based on culture and language.
