                    <description><![CDATA[Nothing is more important today than a better coordination among the South Asian countries and a durable peace between India and Pakistan. There are many people who are working overnights to achieve this. One of these lsquo;Soldiers of Peacersquo;, Nirmala Deshpande, renowned parliamentarian and activist, was in Malegaon recently on a mission to promote peace and harmony. She shared her experiences and peace plans in detail.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[In spite of the fact that we share so much with each other, India and Pakistan have always been at loggerheads. Unlike the siblings who grow up to love and help each other through troubling times, wersquo;re the estranged half-siblings who gloat at each stumble the other one takes. What we fail to realise is that each of these stumbles hurts the oneself as much as the other one. A weak or unhappy Pakistan is always going to be a problem for India and vice versa.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Forced marriages, honour killings and the hugely publicised case of the gang rape of Mukhtar Mai have held Pakistan up as an international example of the impact of religious fundamentalism on womenrsquo;s rights. This has certainly become evident from the number of reports that have been churned out by international human-rights organisations over the past several years on womenrsquo;s rights in Pakistan. Interestingly, this emphasis also fits seamlessly into the rhetoric of the lsquo;war on terrorrsquo;.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[I read with interest some of the contributions on this site. Being of Pakistani Muslim background, I can understand some of the resentment I note in the language in a few comments of articles. I have struggled with contradictory emotions myself in the past until a voice from deep inside came up with the answer;  Ask what you can do for humanity not what humanity can do for you  (I am sure Kennedy won#39;t mind!). I understand that there may be (mostly perceived I might add) grievances on both sides of the border, but the cause is by no means unilaterally instigated.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[Baba Bulleh Shah (1680-1758) was the great humanist, philosopher, rebel, internationalist, teacher and Sufi poet of all times. Baba ji was the disciple of Enayat Shah Lahori, who himself was a great Sufi of his time. Baba ji was born in a noble and aristocratic Sayersquo;ad family but, as a result of Enayatrsquo;s teachings, he left the life of nobility and luxury and led quite simple and humble life. Baba ji was a great poet and use to sing his poetry in the streets of his city Kasur.]]></description>

                    <link>http://arsalanj.tigblog.org/post/299675</link> 
                    <description><![CDATA[I read this interesting, albeit a little contentious, piece by Ravinder Kaur that examined the impact of partition on settling the communal question. The article states: The sixtieth anniversary of the independence of Pakistan and India on 14-15 August 2007 has prompted official celebration in both countries, as well as an ocean of commemorative coverage in the worldrsquo;s media. The terrible violence that accompanied the birthpangs of the two states from the ashes of empire is an inevitable theme in much commentary. What is being less addressed amid the profusion of human stories - and what this article considers - is whether the problems of communal division in the sub-continent were or are best addressed by the partition of territory.]]></description>

                    <description><![CDATA[A sad incident claiming the lives of another 45 odd innocents. May their soul rest in peace and may these terrorists have a miserable life before and after death. India was going on nicely apart from a few jitters here and there and it was getting all too quiet for anyonersquo;s satisfaction. I had always thought that with terrorists getting stronger and the friction between Muslims and Hindus temporarily sharpening due to the incidents of Hyderabad blast, Malegaon and the verdict of Supreme court for 1993 bombings a terrorist activity is imminent. By Allah#39;s will 19 bombs were recovered unexploded and a major threat to may be hundreds of lives has been averted.]]></description>

I would like to share a translation of a poem  Kaun Dushman Hai  by Ali Sardar Jafri - someone had sent it to me some time back. Unfortunately, the name of the translator was not sent with the text. I would be grateful if a reader would like to clarify this.]]></description>

Not everyone would share such incident of their life neither I would have ever but as lsquo;hersquo; says ldquo;there is some forcerdquo;, perhaps, which is compelling me to write about it.]]></description>

Which is hardly surprising in a multicultural melting pot like Dubai where you get to meet and work with some of the best and brightest people from around the world.We Indians and Pakistanis share a unique, emotional relationship that is not easy to understand for the rest of the world. There are hundreds of thousands of families who have their loved ones on both sides of the divide.]]></description>
