India and Pakistan go to war, once again, like brothers breaking their mother’s shattered heart. (4/4)

[sandy kundra verma @kundrasandy]

India and Pakistan go to war and we debate what is right and what is wrong. Who does this land belong to? Why do you want something that should be mine? Why did Hindu mean death in the valley and Beef means riots in the plains? (1/4)

[sandy kundra verma @kundrasandy]

A long time ago, an old man had said that there was valour in fighting with words rather than weapons, that justice is not justification. Today his sons and daughters fight with deadened ears, eyes and hearts too full to listen. (3/4)

@manreetss Beautiful rendition! Brought tears in my eyes as this poem always does.

@PadhegaIndia_ @SamDalrymple123 Oh I’m so waiting for this one

[sandy kundra verma @kundrasandy]

When millions of people went from the west to the east, they carried a motley collection of insensible things, . My grandmother — like many other partition refugees — carried a heavy set of iron keys, one for each room of the house she would never see again. #partitionstories

@tavleen_singh Have been reading your work in the Indian Express for my 90s research. So impressed by your incisive, almost clairvoyant view. From Jan 93: "What happened (in the Bombay Riots) was not just a communal riot but the beginning of a new phase in Indian politics" Wow.
