Two countries - Two people

Today ( 15 March 2013), I saw the Indian Lok Sabha speaker on TV reading out the national rejoinder to the Pak resolution on Hafiz Sayeed. She says ' Whole of India, including that under illegal occupation of Pak, is an integral part of India and will always remain to be so.' She seemed very excited, with all MPs thumping the desks unanimously. Bharat mata ki jai. A school annual-day atmosphere. The whole episode is a good case study of - Two Countries:Two people. On the one hand, there is India and Indian politicians who have handed over large parts of its territory (POK) to Pak on a 500+ year lease, without any sanction from the people of India. Since sanction has not been taken from the real owners ie the people of India, they occasionally keep murmuring that they have not signed any lease. So, as a sham, every few years, they keep reminding the other party about the encroachment, but don't send any anti-encroachment notice to them. Write it, show it to own people, tear it up. Other party does not even feel tickled. They have already sold away parts of India's property to third parties. On the other hand, there is Pak and Pakistanis who make a similar claim on some parts held by India. However, they don't keep quiet, nor do they allow India to forget it. More than mere shouting, they keep making ALL possible efforts to regain it. Many of their people die trying it. They blow themselves up in small pieces just to keep the issue alive. Which country/people do you think has better chances of regaining the territory claimed, some day in future? God helps those who help themselves. So does Allah. Own territories are not regained by parliament resolutions and tons of dossiers. They are regained by sacrificing lives.
