RCUPG Says...
The India-Pakistan relationship has been strained for years
and years. Today’s youth largely believes that these communal differences
should not be used as a base for any conflicts. Why not put aside our
differences and explore similarities between the two countries? (And yes, there
are many!)
And so, what we aim to do through this sister-club agreement
of RC UPG and RC Lahore is bring to the fore concepts, ideas, vehicles for
change that are in our capacity. This blog is only a part of it. But what we’ll explore in the blog will be matters
pertaining to the youth of both countries, who have more things in common than
they might have thought! We’ll address issues and more importantly, talk about
the overlapping culture of the two countries.
Along with our thoughts and ideas and interpretations, we’ll
be also talking about any upcoming joint events. We hope to pass a message of goodwill and peace. This is a
big issue that we wish to take a small positive step towards. In our own way,
we could make a difference. After all, it’s an India-Pakistan thing!
RAC Lahore Says......
Pakistan & India are sibling countries, who share a
rich culture & history. Unfortunately, since partitions the relations
between the two countries have always been difficult. This is the exact
opposite of what the founding fathers had in mind. The result has been the
suffering of the people on both the sides.
The past cannot be changed, but the future can be & it
is high time that the future of the relation between the two countries be set
in the positive direction. Youth from both sides of the boarder want change
& are involved in activities that are aimed at bringing the people on both
sides closer.
This joint blog by RCUPG & RAC Lahore is one such small
contribution in the direction of a peaceful & prosperous future. The motto
of Rotary/Rotaract is ‘Service above self’ & this forum will be used to
look for innovative solutions for our problems, which are so similar. The
people have the same issues but their causes are ignored because all the energy
is wasted in dividing the people.
Let’s revisit our shared roots & build a better future!
