Well Rostx Israel and Palestinian Issue is Diff.There we have one freedom fighting going on here we r two liberal countries .And yes if we would remain in Past then it would go far more deep so dont get ur self stuck there.look into the future and tell wat u think should be done like presently we had this Cricket series and Now imran Khan is going to hold an Concert for his Cancer Hospital which he plans to build in karachi and he is planning to invite many Bollywood stars and they willing to participate regardless of all political isuues.So just forget those political issue and keep the topid free of it and lets think more possitive.I hope no harsh feelings!!!!
I think the Film Industries of both the countries should merge. Bollywood films has a lot of impact on we Indians and of course on our Pakistani folks. Our lives somehow revolves around these films and around that.. what we see in these films. It has shaped india's society and culture in lot many ways. And only the film industry can motivate and change the thinking of an average person. India/Pakistan matter is an emotional one, and films can help mould this emotional aspect of it, and guide general public of the ways to reconcile. I was glad to see the effort made by 2 countries to come closer during the Dubai Awards Ceremony.
I do feel that it wont be an easier task to come closer, as I feel that despite the efforts, there are some strong negative grudge among the ppl of both countries, it may take quite a long time to see peace between the two. Although its worth a shot. Alot has been lost in this fight, its time now to 'kiss and make up'.

I agree sonia jee and i think my friend Rostx is still dwindling in the past as my question was that what steps should be taken .Cuz as i see this issue that theer are'nt any tensions between ppl of these countries everything is on political surface but as u go to the grassroot level pplz dont even bother what their govts says.Even here on this chat i have learnt through these singing rooms where u Sonia jee and i go and we sit together singing and enjoying regardless of cultures and colors and religions and above all nationalities.I never felt any tensions though iam Pakistani but i have long list of Indian Friends.So i dont find my self lost in political issues and there is a saying "jiska kaam usi ko sajhay" we have pres and prime ministers out there they know their jobs we the ppl should do our job to ease the tensions.And yes Sonia i agree the Bollywood has its deep impact on Pakistani Audience same way ptv drama seriels has their impacts on indian viewers.So yes i agree with ur idea that film industry can play an major Role.
