Remembering the Road from Kabul to Calcutta in Pakistan (2005 - 2007)

0333hrs:

This video reminds me of my time in Pakistan between 2005 and 2007, when I strived to understand the British defined relationship between India & Pakistan. 

What if I had (then) met (now) retired Kashmiri Pandit Justice Markandey Katju of the Supreme Court of India, whose family we understand have been living in Uttar Pradesh in India, for many generations.

The following Facebook (FB) video was initially taken down and then re-posted after much commotion in Pakistan, which I learned directly from the retired judge yesterday.

This is the hyperlink to the FB video

I've now embedded it here too:
