“They are like my two eyes,” says the fabled Pakistani folk singer Reshma, speaking of India, the country of her birth in 1947, and the country she has lived in since infancy. Similar emotions are echoed by another lauded singer, the Mumbai-based Seema Anil Sehgal, known as the ‘Bulbul (nightingale) of Jammu and Kashmir’. Last May (2004), she dedicated her CD, recorded at the first ever concert in Mumbai on the poetry of Allama Iqbal, the man credited with the idea of Pakistan, to “India-Pakistan friendship”.
