I decided to stay back and trust Jinnah – the founder of Pakistan – who also guaranteed that we would not be subject to religious discrimination. Mahatma Gandhi also trusted him. Now when I look back, I am not sure which would have been a wiser decision for me. To stay back and continue to serve my land as my ancestors did since time immemorial. Or accept the cruel reality that tea-parties of few elite politicians can change destiny of oldest civilization of world in entirety, and hence move away from my home. In both cases, my fate would have been still the same – rape, abduction, slaughter, hatred – all in name of Allah – the Merciful. When terrorists killed innocent children in Peshawar, I saw you mourning as if they were your own children. May this never happen to anyone. But we face such Peshawars every day. Are we also not your innocent loved ones? We are also hungry for your affection. We faced the greatest ethnic cleansing ever in history of humanity. From more than 22% of Pakistan population in 1951, we are now reduced to less than 1% in Pakistan and 4% in Bangladesh today.
