Re: [mukto-mona] FW: THE PARTITION AND TODAY'S PAKISTAN

I am actually no fan of Napoleon Bonaparte; just used his quote to make the point of agreeing with Mr. Subimal Chakrabarty that re-unification of the Indian sub-continent is not totally impossible, while maintaining myself that it would be very much unlikely in the foreseeable future.

 

As for Nehru's quote, I would say that re-unification of India with today's Pakistan would be a much bigger problem for India than just a carbuncle on the butt; it would be like a huge cancerous tumor. Being born and raised up to 25 years and having a lot of friends and relatives there, I am reluctant to use the phrase "carbuncle on the butt" on Bangladesh. Moreover, I do see some ray of hope for Bangladesh. The country overall is certainly much better than Pakistan in terms of secular humanism, which seems to be in a growing mode there now.

About reunification Nehru said, "I don't want a carbuncle on my butt."  We all know what Napoleon did to himself and France.
