To say that humanity is facing unprecedented challenges as we turn the page to this new decade is quite the understatement. We live in an age defined by information, and where misinformation plays a pivotal part in shaping our worldview. It’s not hard to imagine why so many polarised opinions exist across a host of topics that impact our lives today.
A key issue that hugely impacts almost 1.5 billion people across India and Pakistan is the diminishing understanding of each other as a people, despite our shared past that dates back to the beginning of civilisation. While the first 50 years after the Partition saw relationships on both sides wane, the last 20 years have seen little or no people-to-people contact. With no tales left to tell, we are raising an entire generation that will soon have no meaningful connection to the other side.
