Last week while I was going through the morning newspaper, I happened to see this picture showing the Indian Cricket team Captain Rahul Dravid on the right, Pakistan cricket team captain Shoaib Malik on the left and Prince Charles standing in between them. This photo made me think about an ironical situation. On the extremeties one could find two young men looking quite 'similar', who for sure would be called by someone unfamiliar with the game of cricket,as brothers or as cousins or as neighbours or even as collegemates. I am sure that such a person would be puzzled to learn that these two young men represent two completely different countries with completely different political, social and religious ideologies, two countries which have fought several wars in the past! And in the middle one finds a 'completely different' person, whose predecessors split the young men asunder for ever.
Celebrating 60 years of Indian Independence, Jai Hind.
