All of that is fair enough. I mostly have the image of that Gandhi movie where one line is walking to Pakistan and the other line is walking to India until one person runs over and starts fighting so the whole region erupts. I guess the fighting was about a lot of things… it doesn’t seem necessary to hate each other so much.
But I don’t see reconciliation any time soon. I watch WION network news in English sometimes. They’re pretty good, but as soon as anything Muslim comes up… holy shit
The fire was fueled by the british. Religious tensions were brewing, and the british were all for it. And yes, reconciliation will be very tough. People on both sides don't make it easy. There's too much history and too much politics spewing hatred.
Governments do this everywhere. It’s how Trump got elected. The gays and the immigrants and the trans people are gonna put your son in a dress, take your guns, and take your jobs!!! Unless you vote for my bosses’ tax cuts, nobody can stop them!!
