The document discusses Indo-Pak relations from the perspective of young students. It describes examples of students from both countries expressing friendship and a desire for peace between the neighbors. However, it also notes examples of some immature minds promoting hostility instead of friendship. The document argues that shaping young minds with values of love and peace should be a priority, as it is the key to creating a more harmonious society between the two countries in the future.

1. Indo-Pak Relations: Bright
Eyes,With Colors Of Love & Peace
By Ravi Nitesh

2. To the Indian friend, with love
• She was a very young student who narrated some lines of
love and peace and extended her love towards the neighbor
country named India.
• In her lines, she imagined a tour to the Taj Mahal and the Red
Fort and also meeting and befriending some Indians.
• After coming back to India, during my formal and informal
experience sharing, I happened to interact with a person who
worked for Indo-Pak peace through letter exchange
programs among school students.
• In his experience, he narrated an incident when a son of a
police officer from Karachi informed his father that he is
writing a letter to an unknown Indian friend. To this, his
father remarked, “you must write, the mistake that our
generation did, you must not.”

3. These young minds
• There are a lot of examples when we try to find innocent and
pure hearts, still unaffected by the mindless and dirty politics.
• These young minds must know the importance of humanity,
fraternity, love and peace, not only among their society but
also during inter-societal communications.
• As some bad examples of the immature minds, a student of
graduation posted his Facebook status that “people should
not work towards friendship with Pakistan”. He further added
that, “they must work and see towards problems of their own
country and not to go and extend support with neighbor”.
Statement received some comments including the one that
says ‘’all these people who are working towards Indo-Pak peace
must be sent to Karachi in trucks.”

4. It is surprising, isn’t it?
• These examples show that there are minds that have become
corrupt because they are misinformed.
• Surely, these statements are neither logical, nor acceptable
but I am sure that there are the people on both sides of
border who think like this.
• These people who are supposedly passed out from schools
and colleges can become a threat to peace.

5. We must
• These examples should not disillusion us but should push us
more towards working on these peace processes.
• We must know that shaping young minds must be a priority
as values of love and peace that will be received in younger
age, will be in memory and will reflect in thoughts and work
of these students even when they will become mature.
• We must know that maturity is not an attribute of age.
• We must know that maturity without feelings, maturity
without values of peace and love has no use.
• We must understand that a society can become harmonious
only through peace and by spreading love within and outside
of it.

6. Strive towards betterment
• In view of the younger minds and hearts, we must work
towards these bright and colorful eyes that can change the
whole scenario, whose hearts and minds are full of love and
feelings.
• These students, in their present age, are so fascinated with
concept of humanity that their hearts are pure and full of
love, their minds act regardless of any favor towards religion,
caste, race, gender, region etc that we can say that these
children, young minds truly reflect the concepts of equality,
freedom, secularism etc as they are unknown to political use
of these sociological terminology.
