Millions of mela attendees who worship equally diverse array of gods and goddesses, all march together in peace to take a dip in Ganges. This is true democracy in religion.

I was born in Hyderabad- India and left India in 1982. Eversince, I've had friends of all faiths in the UK and thoroughly enjoyed my life so far. Pakistanis are like marmite--- either you like them/they like you or not. Dawn is the prime example of quality and impartial journalism ; which is in the same league of The Hindu, Indian Express and scores more. I strongly believe in a future where both India and Pakistan will have a symbiotic relationship to create a strong world beater. next gebnerations of both the nations are our hope. At the CWgames inNew Delhi, Pakistani contingent recieved the biggest applause. What more you need.
