Pakistan - You need a reality check!


We are at the crossroads of humanity. Terrorism , the kiling of innocent people to justify any cause is wrong. To qualify such sickness of the mind with social causes and movements is absolutely absurd.
David Miliband the foreign secretary on his visit to New Delhi and Islamabad vaguely linked terrorism to solving the Kashmir issue.
I think this is absolutely wrong. Kashmir, secessionism, islam have nothing to do with terrorism. The terrorists are simply wrong and deserve to be tried by the law enforcing agencies of the land. Of course social problems need to be solved but they have nothing to do with terrorism. Terrorists are inhuman pieces of S***.
Pakistanis need to have a reality check. They need to understand that terrorism is a cancer and if they do not amputate this rotting limb they risk death for themselves before their neighbours are affected.
Islam like any other religion is open to interpretation and is used by many for their own ends.
Therefore for the sake of humanity the Pakistanis need to have a reality check.
Pakistanis are intelligent people. I am sure they want to live in a peaceful environment with freedom of thought and want their kids to grow in a place where their full potential may bloom.
I hope they pick up the gauntlett and get rid of the terrorists. For their own good.

East Pakistan Embankments- Philatelic History


East Pakistan dissappeared into oblivion on the 16th of December 1971.

The Mukti Bahini and the Indian forces liberated Bangladesh -The Land of the Banglas.

West Pakistan and its Punjabi establishments had gone into overdrive to show that its erstwhile eastern wing was still a part of the Pakistan federation and so many stamps, first day covers and bank noted were issued in Bengali and Urdu.

Inspite of all these superficial efforts there was no warmth in the heart of the west Pakistanis for the eastern wingers.

Our west bengal was flooded with Refugees and Indira Gandhi decisively stepped in and when West Pakistan attacked us we respeonded tooth and Nail and helped the Mukti Bahini to liberate themselves to form the New state of Bangladesh.

This First day cover is therefore part of the philatelic history of a country which showed that religion alone cannot bind people.
