It might be fair to say that the recent bombings in Delhi, India might have something to do with the current talks, reported by the BBC on the same day, between India and Pakistan over easing restrictions along 5 points in the Line of Control (LoC) that separates Indian- and Pakistani-controlled sections of Kashmir.
Or does it? The news coming out of Reuters is pretty confused at the moment, and no one’s claimed responsibility for the blasts. It wouldn’t be difficult to imagine something like this happening with specific reference to current talks; some parties may have an interest in keeping things tense across the LoC. Then again, it’s just more fruitless speculation; it may just be general anti-Indian / anti-Hindu insurgents taking drastic measures.
Unity is strength. And we do not need to be told of that again and again. Give upon the communal card. Do not be a victim of the division strategy - the English have long gone. Why still patronise them and their vicious ways. Education adds perspective thought.Or does it? Remember, RDX knows no religion. Likewise for humanity.
It’s time for delhi to stay undivided!

I think its more than that. It will be easy to suggest that what divides India and Pakistan is merely a throwback of the Empire’s “Divide-and-Rule” strategy, but this easy answer won’t hold up against hard questions: what are the political conditions that engendered such bitter separation? What has religion to do with this, and how? What are the historical antecedents?
