I do not agree that majority of Indians want unification of India and Pakistan. Besides religion differences their are cultural differences also between the two. Also Pakistan acts as a buffer between an unstable Afghanistan and India. Geeta was not a prisoner in Pakistan. Therefore there is no question of exchange of prisoners. Just as we think low of Pakistanis they do so about us. The formation of Pakistan was a well thought out strategy by its supporters and was not on a political whim. It will be a long time before both can have good cultural and political relations. Issue of Kashmir is not easy to resolve.

Yes, Geeta was not a prisoner in Pakistan. Geeta was taken care of by Edhi foundation during her  stay in Pakistan. Though the the High commissioner of Pakistan in India requested the release of Pakistani  prisoners in India, India is yet to reply

What is our relation with Pakistan, but we must be say thanks to Pakistan for this deed. Pakistani peoples are not bad but its government is not fair.

It may be right that majority of Indian don't want unification but many Indian wants it. It is not right that their are culture difference. Pakistan have two principal states, Sindh and Punjab. Laks of peoples migrate from Sindh and Punjab at the time particiation. Culture and language of these peoples are alike peoples of Punjab (Pakistan) and Sindh.

There can be no unification  of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh unless the cause tat led to partitionofundivided India is removed. Secularism as a way of life must be acceptedby all concerned.  Theocratic state- Islamic or HinduRashtra- have to be given a decent burial.   

The concept of Hindu Rashtra has gained momentum now. Earlier during the regime of Congress both the countries had strained relations. There can never be unification of India and Pakistan.

Islamic state is notcompatible with secularism. Similarly Hindu Rashtra. Islamic and Hindustate are just antagonistic.  There appears no scope for unification in near future. Possibly in distant future, may be one hundred years later, this could materialize. future generations may be wiser.

Relation with Pakistan had strained and is strained. It is not because of peoples of both countries, it is because of army and some fanatical groups of Pakistan. Unification is hard but not impossible. Future is uncertain. POK and Sindh have spark of unification.

Welocme Gulati. 

Sir, will you please ask Mr. Gulati to come to the forum after he has posted his post and express his opinions too. It further enriches the discussion. Sorry for taking liberty.
