Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of Art and Living Came to Pakistan
on his three day visit to promote peace and goodwill and also to promote his foundation
that deals with stress reducing techniques, reducing individual violence and
societal problems etc.
We as Pakistanis appreciate his idea and efforts that he
came to Pakistan to spread a good message about peace and harmony but I feel it
was more of his advertising campaign for his foundation. The art and living foundation was formed in
1989 in Germany and America with headquarters in Bangalore, India. It is one of
the largest volunteer sources in the world.
It is true that it is
important to spread love between the both countries but it will all be futile
unless important issues that are spoiling the relationship are not dealt with.
1)
Kashmir issue
2)
India’s interference in Afghanistan
3)
India’s violation regarding water accords for
instance Baghliar-1 dam has disrupted the flow of Chenab River in Pakistan and
also stopping the flow of water. Clearly violating international laws.
4)
Constant accusation by India regarding the Mumbai
Attacks in 2008
5)
On the other hand Pakistan blames India for
funding the terrorists in the country and backing up separatists in Baluchistan
Unless the leaders of the both countries do not plan out a
proper strategy this aman ki aasha, making singers and spiritual leaders go
from one country to another will not help. Pakistan is free country and you
cannot blame it to be discrinmative towards Hindus. We are taught to safeguard
the right of minorities but this issue is not religious. Its political and out
to be solved politically.
It is very important that south Asia should have the same
peace and goodwill like they have it in the west. Global harmony can only be
attained that way. Unless the core
issues are not treated, such peace steps that talk about cultural mergers,
media collaborations can not work.
