Young Voices for Peace…

Selected extracts from letters of students of Beaconhouse School System, Lahore, Pakistan 
replying to the letters of students of City Montessori School, Lucknow, India

1

I agree with you that the Kashmir issue has certainly been blown out of proportion. People my age in Pakistan usually know very little of the Indian perspective on the issue other than what has been presented by the media and the textbooks. I do not favour a nationalistic approach. I consider our common humanity as the singular cohesive force between us. The notion of perfect compatibility. Similar appearance is by no means indicative of commonalities in personality. We must, however, understand that we are different but can still achieve optimum compatibility by changing our obstinate attitudes. Kunal lets adopt rationality. Lets not accredit our economic stagnation mainly to our expenditure on defense. Our lack of development has been the consequence of gross inefficiencies in the past and present. The best we can do, currently, is write letters and essays, professing peace. We (our generation) are not ruling our countries. We are members of states run by people who do not share our views. So what I find appreciable about this 'Lets make pen pals' scheme is that it is informative of the general opinion of our generation in our respective countries. This scheme cannot influence the present but can better the future.

On receiving your letter, I came to realize our responsibilities as human beings. I feel that we children are the next generation and soon our country's responsibility will be on our shoulders. The Kashmir issue, which is the main reason of tension between the two nations, can only be solved by negotiations and peaceful processes. I earnestly wish that you will extend maximum friendships to ensure a peaceful, healthier and secure world for ourselves and the future generations. Just imagine how friendship will lead to the progress of these two nations, but this can only be achieved by whole hearted friendship, co-operation and love, for which, I extend my hand towards you.

The thing that itches me a lot is that the peace in our country has lanquished in the recent years and I believe that every problem has a remedy. We can have peace after we stop hating love, and stop loving hate. And I believe that creating peace and harmony can be attainable due to a dedicated effort. I am looking forward in building peace between Pakistan and India.

Kashmir is the cause of tension between two countries and war is no solution to it. War leads to killing of civilians and bloodshed. War only brings damage and destruction. I am also not in favour of war. I think both countries should resolve this problem by dialogues and negotiations. My friends and I are ready to shake a hand of friendship with you. I accept you invitation of peace and harmony. We both countries should forget our differences and be together and fill our area called sub continent with peace, harmony, love and friendship. I also invite you to come to Pakistan. We will do everything we can do to entertain you. I think you will agree to my point of view. Only peace, harmony and friendship can make our future bright while war will ruin it. Do reply me.

I am very grieved to see the growing tension between Pakistan and India, and as you pointed out that the Kashmir problem is the major reason for this tension.1 believe that both countries should peacefully talk over this issue and try to resolve it through negotiations and I fully agree with you that we children have a major role to play in making a progressive future. The fact is that war would not benefit any country and, therefore, we should spread the message of peace and friendship. Because if our countries overcome the differences we could greatly benefit from each other. So lets ensure a bright future.

What depresses you, depresses me and my class fellows too as it is the matter of these countries in which we are living. I guess it is a matter not only of Kashmir or any one country. This is why there must be a bill between India and Pakistan. I would also like to make a friendship on this basis of peace.

We children are the backbone of our nations and it depends on us to make our country's future. The crime is spreading all over the world. We should from today promise to try our level best to wipe out crime from this world including our countries so that there is peace everywhere. Our goal is to solve the long lasting problems of Indo-Pak peacefully. Among those problems Kashmir issue is the major. We should make our friendship strong so that there is no violence and the environment is peaceful.

Asalam-O-Alekum to all those who wrote and are willing to make a contribution for the better tomorrow in the sub continent. Muslim, Hindu, Christian, Buddhist do not matter because if we are a single, united nation than we are under one flag. The flag of peace, harmony, co-operation and love. However, I consider not to start a discussion with the Kashmir dispute or any other past issue, which still guards the two borders.

The subcontinent was once a golden sparrow but hatred between India and Pakistan has made its golden colour to fade. You yourself think of those days of war, with atomic explosions everywhere, racking noise of guns followed by vetting sound of empty shells. No food to eat and water to drink. Bloodshed of humanity and total days of isolation. This would blunt our shiny future.

May be in future we might even meet one another through peace programmes.

The word victory is generally associated in our minds with war, and calls up visions of battles, bloodshed and conquest by forces and we think of war as a glorious thing. But when I think of the achievements of great men, statesmen, scholars, social reformers, scientists and honest workers for the betterment of human race and the progress and the civilization of the world, we realise that the victories of peace are even more glorious than the victories of war. Men who are always grumbling about their poverty, complaining of their difficulties, whining over their troubles, and thinking that their lot in this world is mean and poor will never get any happiness out of life or achieve any success. However, mean our life may be, if we face bravely and honestly and try to make the best of it is a great thing to take a pride in our work. Let us hope that good sense prevails. Let those who believe in violence learn a lesson from the horrible devastation caused by world wars. We all should pray that peace prevails everywhere.

I am also against the things happening between Pakistan and India.

I am happy that you tried to seek pen friendship here in Pakistan, as it is a good way to find peace. I agree with you that it is the need of the present time that we should solve all of our disputes amicably and try and live as friendly neighbours. War is a brutal and incomplete way of solving disputes and even after a war we have to come to a table to talk to each other.

The increasing gap and tension between both countries has led to many wrong things. Even to this extent, that both have not played a cricket match since 3 years. We, being sensible, have to spread the message of peace and harmony. We must not broadcast any propagandas against ourselves but we have to be friends and amiable So, in the end I would like to say that we must live in a peaceful and clam environment and atmosphere so, 'May Peace prevail in India and Pakistan' Amin!

I appreciate your school's efforts regarding the peace promotion between Pakistan and India - similarly here in Pakistan several educational and non-educational institutions are busy engaged in raising awareness among our citizens for the need for increased cooperation between the two nations. My school is one of the finest schools of Pakistan and it is also promoting need for peace. Many seminars, anti-war campaigns and debates are organised by my school, the agenda of which is mainly peace and harmony. We are taught that war is not a sophisticated way of resolving conflicts. Thus we are totally against war and other such destructive means of securing power.

I got your letter and am glad that you have offered me pen friendship. I am happy to know about your struggles for peace for this world and would like to join hands with you in this mission. I agree with your voice and will try all my best to convey your message of peace and harmony to others, and help you to achieve success in your struggle against war. Though Pakistan and India are neighbour, but still the relations between them are very tense. Both the countries had always been at dagger's drawn and the bone of contention between them is the Kashmir issue, which should be solved through negotiations, or otherwise a disastrous nuclear war shall begin in South East Asia, which shall be a great set back for both the countries and people. I believe that if we have a firm belief that God has created this universe and every creature present on it, and all human beings are equal, and keeping this in mind, we sacrifice for each other, all problems shall be solved, we shall be friends and would be able to cultivate the feeling of love and fraternity in our hearts for each other. Anyhow, don't you worry, because now you are not alone in your struggle against war and in the mission of peace and harmony, but we will work together and I ensure you that we shall be able to make this part on earth, a peaceful region with harmony and contentment ruling it. May Allah help us to make earth a peaceful place to live in.

When I heard about the letters coming from our neighbouring country, I got excited and it was my luck that I got your letter. I had many reasons of replying but the most important is that I had to experience pen friendship and the other reason is for peace between the two nations. Our religion also teaches us about love, peace and harmony. This is not good thing that the two mighty nations of the world are fighting for nothing. This issue can be solved by dialogue. Compassion is the best way to solve everything. If one does something wrong, one must compromise. The two countries have taken the correct step to establish peace through the students.

I accept your proposal of friendship with an open heart. I agree to lend a helping hand to spread the message of peace, love and friendship. In our present time we see our environment changing. Today there is chaos, bloodshed and misery everywhere. Hatred today is human nature. I am relieved to see that people who care for peace still exist. Making peace between India and Pakistan will be a major step towards our goal of "World Peace. If we take this step today then the world will be ours tomorrow. Lets join hands to teach this world the meaning of peace, which is currently oblivious of it.

I read you letter and really appreciate your great gesture and am here with the reply. Now coming to your letter, you have written that you want to encourage peace and friendship between India and Pakistan. War is not and will never be the answer to any sort of issue or contention, so it only leaves behind its dreadful marks of destruction and bloodshed. As both countries are nuclear powers the first priority on everyone's (citizens of both the countries) mind should be promoting peace and harmony. This attitude would later end in friendly ties between the two. So I hereby close this letter by thanking you once more for taking this major step in developing peace between the two nations and hope that this later succeeds as one of the most successful projects ever. Thank you for your co-operation.

In your letter you've also expressed your feelings about Pakistan and India relationship. I was very pleased to read that the new generation in India is against war. As you have written that you want Pakistan and India to talk over the matters and solve the problems peacefully. It reflects on what our future generation plans and thinks. I am also very much against war and I think that the differences between Pakistan and India should be settled through talks, not through might or weapons, Moreover, Pakistan and India are now nuclear powers and as the saying goes "With great power comes great responsibility”. We are children of such age group who can make the future of both countries bright and prosperous. So, let us spread the message of peace in the world.

Your opinions are absolutely right, because no further improvement and development can take place until both Pakistan and India come to a peaceful agreement. What both these countries need is a very strong and solid friendship, which should never be broken, because it is obvious that from battles, arguments, disputes and conflicts no progress will take place. Friendship is indeed like a shady tree under which you can rest and protect yourself.

You mentioned in your letter that you don't like the situation between Pakistan and India same is the case with me I also hate this situation. You are right that both countries are developing and cannot afford a war because it is very destructive. The hatred between both countries is increasing I don't know what is this all for. All this bloodshed and hatred is useless. I would take us to nowhere but destruction. So friend harmony is the best way to bring both countries close.

First of all I would thank your school for communicating with us. This indeed is a good way in which we both Indian and Pakistani children can understand each other. Pakistan and India should make peace with one another because, where there is peace, there is grace. Pakistan and India truly cannot afford a war. A war will only take us into the depth of poverty and unemployment. Thousands of innocent lives will perish away only because of war. A war will cause suffering, distress and agony to the people. A war between Pakistan and India would be a total destruction of both countries. Peace is far better than a war.

I appreciate your concern about peace and friendship. It's a great effort towards the ultimate goal that is to make this world a heaven on earth where there are no rivalries, no tensions, and no enmity. It is high time that we, the citizens of both the countries, should exhibit the spirit of sportsmanship and be responsible. We can have mutual cooperation in all matters. We should be tolerant and patient to each other whatever the circumstances may be. We should try to resolve our minor differences and push away the boundaries between us like the Berlin wall

Having good and friendly relations with neighbours is a principle, stressed in both in Quran and Geeta. So, should not Pakistan and India forget conflicts through the exchange of good will missions and try to improve their relations? Pakistan and India have similar problems, for both are third world countries and are developing nations. Although, the religion of majority of people living in Pakistan is Islam whereas in India it is Hinduism. Both of its inhabitants have same needs, desires and problems. Thus, we must not fight on the differences between Pakistanis and Hindus, but be optimistic about our similarities.

Time has proved that we Pakistanis and Indians in spite of sharing borders, we are far from each other to tell you the truth, we Pakistani children, too, have our favourites.

I got your message of peace and harmony. I am glad to tell you that I had the same thoughts about peace. Well, I have written this letter to inform you about the wars which I must say, are becoming very common in the world but we are the ones who should tell our adults to have peace and love between the two countries, Pakistan and India and make the relationships between the two countries as cool as a cucumber and not only in these countries but all over the world. I know that this is a hard nut to crack but when there is a will there is always a way. So, we should tell them that war is not the solution of any quarrels. In fact, it has never been fruitful. Only the innocent suffer. So, I offer you a friendship so that we can join hands to establish peace, love and harmony. I am sure; with this friendship we can do a lot for our countries and help our countries in different circumstances. So, I am sure you have understood the message and help me prevailing peace in India, Pakistan and all over the world.

But peace can still be obtained by harmony and unity. And also by friendship. I, therefore, ask you for your acquaintance so that we can live in peace not terror.

I completely agree with what you wrote in your letter and would like to add that all of us Pakistanis do, like you Indians, want peace and harmony to cultivate in the entire world, especially between our countries. It would make things so much easier! What is prevalent in the world is very sad and presents an awfully gloom picture. I mean, can you point any single country, which is truly dedicated in restoring peace? America wants to invade Iraq because it wants to acquire all the oil-laden lands of the country. Likewise, Iraq invaded Kuwait in order to seize the wealth of the small state. Similarly, Pakistan and India are engaged in a cold war, if I may say so, over a piece of land! Are the aforementioned countries really truly devoted to the people of Kashmir? What role does India basically have in Kashmir? But having said that, what is Pakistan's role? Do the Kashmiri's deserve this? I pray with extreme sincerity and hope for restoration of friendly ties between our countries and would like to end by saying that our life is action not contemplation. It is our generation, which holds the future. And it is only us who can take concrete steps to rectify the apparent situation!

It was a pleasure to know that children on the other side of the border have opinion with respect to the world peace similar to ours. Although children should be playing an important role in the future of the world, but what we are seeing looks like the opposite. There are a lot of organisations, groups and movements that have been making efforts to solve Indo-Pak problems but their efforts today seems to be useless.

It's indeed very pleasing to observe steps taken to bridge the gap between India and Pakistan. I bet, the gulf between the two nations is not much; it’s just that no one is willing to overcome it. Steps taken, such as establishing World Peace Organisation, promoting 'Aao Dosti Karein' and most importantly taking part in it with pure heart and true spirit would definitely help the cause. Though as a nation, we have never fused but individually we have common interests and similar thoughts. Still 'Why don't we care for each other?" We must quit all this fighting stuff and look-forward for world 'peace'.

Slouched deep into my bed with a cup of tea on my left and a junk of scattered magazines and P.C. games on the floor, I picked your letter at about twenty past eleven, here, on Thursday. Your writing impressed me and intrigued me to know about a new person as a friend. But after going through your letter I felt sad as well as guilty. Actually, frustration hit me and now I repent that it should have been me who should have extended this hand of friendship! Obviously, I understand well the condition of the two countries. The development, which is already quite slow, may be completely hampered due to a war. The hostile atmosphere further encourages both the countries to strengthen their defences with the capital, which might be used for the development of our countries. Therefore, we surely need to develop good relations; it might not be our ancestors but let it be us. I congratulate you for starting a mission, which, I hope, we all will together accomplish.

The Indo-Pak tension is since Pakistan came into existence only because of our religions and sectarianism. So it is a great responsibility on us to spread peace and harmony amongst our countries.

Peace, a word which people think is nothing but has very much importance in our life. We should make peace with each other so that we should become friends. With peace people can make more progress and bring more comfort and happiness to the citizens. We can make our life very peaceful. We should solve our problems by doing work with each other. We can also take help of our neighbours. In Quran there are also some verses about neighbourhood. It is written, "Do help your neighbours and they will help you "or" He will not be a good Muslim whose neighbour is in trouble and he is not helping him." We should sacrifice for our neighbours. We should make our neighbours our friends. If we will do like this, then we can't make good progress and there will be peace and only peace. We should be good helping neighbours. We should share advance technologies and good culture.

I will pursue the step taken by your school to persuade people to spread peace, harmony, love, synchronisation and adoration for peace.

I am delighted to receive your letter. I offer myself as a pen friend to you. We must follow the path of peace in order to progress and live in harmony as good neighbours. Without peace we cannot achieve anything since we keep on wasting our resources and energy in developing animosity. We all in one way or another depend on each other. Peace is the only hope for this decaying globe.

I received you letter and was very happy to know that you also want peace and harmony between the two countries. I have also conveyed you letter to my friends and elders. They have agreed with your suggestion and appreciated your idea. We need to think how to improve our relationships; perhaps better communication will help us to understand each other's viewpoints. So frequent exchange of ideas should be held.

I appreciate you that war is not any solution to a problem. To solve any problem, friendship is always there. Being friends, well solve many Indo-Pak problems. I would love to be your pen pal.

We as a Pakistani and as a Muslim also feel that war is not the solution of our problems. God has given us this beautiful world and we should not destroy it by our own hands. Once our fore fathers were together for the last 500 years. No doubt that we have some issues to settle but the greatest thing should be "humanity". We must not repeat our mistakes. Peace for the sake of humanity.

I am greatly impressed with your feelings about overall peace in the world. Yes! I am of the same opinion that there is an acute need of peace and harmony in the world. No one can afford war. Lastly, I would be cheerful if our friendship continues from both sides.

I have read your letter and I was really impressed by your suggestions. Peace is a nice thought, and I agree with you about spreading it amongst ourselves. The only result of all the wars has been bloodshed. Being neighbours we should shake hands of friendship and live in peace.

I also agree to what you say for keeping peace in the world and avoiding wars, we should all think of everything in possible ways. We are neighbouring countries and we both should positively think of our relations. No matter what race we are of, we are human beings who are sent here to share this world, and live in peace; we should keep our morals high and respect mankind.

I agree with you because if peace will not spread in the world, then soon the world will be destroyed. I want to be your pen friend. We should make peace in our city. Lahore is a historical place. If you get the opportunity to come to Lahore then I will take you to all the historical places.

We, the children of two countries can play a very important role in spreading peace and harmony between the two countries. We can also try to develop friendship between the two nations. In the end I would like to request the two nations to spend the life in peace and to spread love and harmony.

War is not a good thing to do! During wars, the soldiers throw so many bombs and with one bomb over 20,000 people are killed. We should make friends and protest against wars. With wars we can lose over 1 million dollars and still we get nothing. So we should make peace between the countries.
