Sikhs at home in Peshawar

Finally some positive news out of Pakistan! I thought the day would never come. Sikhs and Muslims living amongst each other in Peshawar. Bloody brilliant! There is still hope, I say. There is still hope!!



The Sub-continent has always been a melting pot. So don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. It has always welcomed all kinds of people into the society. And that is what makes the region a web of the most complex contradictions. It is only when we have stubborned ourselves in our “dreary desert sand of dead habit” that we have digressed from what South Asia has historically been.

Whatsobloodyever may be the official state policy, we as people, have always welcomed cultural diversity; and we should not allow extremist to voice our regional –and personal –narrative whether they be Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Sikh or Buddhist.
