We should learn from Rohan Bopana and Aisam ul Haq in 2011!

I must admit I have had the misfortune of growing up in an area where there was much carnage in Northern Ireland.Also I have an association with the Nations of Pakistan and India with my family having been stationed in India as it was before 1947.Thus hearing of the terrible carnage that ensued before and after the partition.Then through my life have heard of the various wars and struggles that occurred between the two Nations.

Basically incomprehensible bloodshed between people who used to live side by side…Now you can understand people harbouring grudges from things that happened generations ago and mistrust that is fostered by the media and government.Both who have vested interests in conflict and tension for it makes them money and plenty of it.So unfortunately when life is a bit tough and you have the irresponsible Media/Government play the blame game you tend to follow rather than accept responsibility for your own reality.Though in truth and I’ve lived nearly 60 years and broken bread with many Pakistani’s and Indian’s and one thing stands out as bright as the Northern Lights is this…….

They are kind good hearted sincere people.That have their beings built on respect.Like for example every time im in India im addressed by my surname out of respect.Everything is about respect and honour.Even in the Pakistani predominated of the UK for sadly haven’t been to Pakistan as yet.I can walk into a Nihari shop and automatically the feeling of welcome is so touching.The point being is this that what you hear is not what is………

This great doubles combination of Rohana Bopana and Aisam ul Huq is more the truth.One being Indian and one Pakistani,but in truth im not going to distinguish, for they are brothers.No Nation,No religion,no tension,no nothing-other than humanity in its purest form…For when we were created God created man and woman-then man created Religion and Nation in my view to have power over others…At the US Open at the acceptance speech both these great men extolled the message of Peace and hope not only between the great Nations of Pakistan and India but throughout the World….It was symbolical how warm the reception was from the American Crowd especially to Aisam.Then equally as symbolical was how Jim Courier was trying to stop the speech of Peace. For he knew how the Media Outlets, who make scullions from their Media monopolies would hate an event as wide ranging as the US Open being a place for truth to be heard.For lies and the hysteria caused by them is what Media outlets and Governments rely on-don’t they?I think we in 2011 as Humans should start dispelling these lies that cause such harm and should listen and learn from Rohan Bopana and Aisam ul Huq!
