    The repeated intervention by the military in the political affairs of this country have made the issues more complicated and now we are on the verge of collapse and this exercise should be finished as we have lost half of our country because of this. And the glass is full up to its capacity and there is no more cushion.

    I am from India and I am touched & concerned. Tough times do not last tough people do, tough countries do. Jab zulm-o-sitam k kooh-e-giran ;Rooi ki tarah ur jaenge - Amen

    Simply a suberb piece of work.
    keep it up

    In this time of despair, I found this today and I have been watching it again and again since morning because it gives me hope that even if not now, even if not soon, hum daikhain gay.

    Sixty years after partition, a new exhibition should be required viewing for a generation of indifferent Britons and Indians

    In a summer largely distinguished by floating Taj Mahals, Bollywood extravaganzas and empire-nostalgic television, a new exhibition at the British Library offers a more thoughtful commemoration of the 60th anniversary of independence for India and Pakistan. Countdown to Freedom chronicles the turbulent centuries from the arrival in 1608 of the East India Company to the fabled midnight of independence. Though small, the display succeeds in evoking the historical ties that bind Britain to the subcontinent.

    I really think we should all send emails to Geo, ARY or Aaj asking that they broadcast this during Aug 14 telecast. This is so true about our times today.
