such an important political issue for the 2 powerful nation. will cut off or change anything for the seat. could it be a testing ground for peace between india and pakistan more than 70 years after their partition. as we travel through india and pakistan when john we come across new hopes and fears. of. going. to. the new border crossing is located just a few hours drive south of kashmir the region india and pakistan have fought 2 wars over since the foundation and where they remain on a hostile footing with each other. but here on the ground in punjab at the entrance to the car talk or corridor the mood is currently a peaceful even relaxed one. of. the indian

subcontinent is home to over one and a half 1000000000 people 20000000 of them are sikhs most of them like a monday live in the punjab a region that was torn apart by the partition of india and pakistan. for more than 70 years there was only one border crossing but now there's a new one the talk of. a monday makes its final preparations for a journey that he expects will change as we're going to. let the top of the body go over the edge of bringing fees in just a little definitely before the what. i'm seeing has seen a lot of the world he spent a number of years in birmingham england and it's also traveled extensively across india and to dubai but this is his 1st trip as a politically conscious place. for this purpose the dentist has transformed his.

modi. and almost at the same time but not in the same place biased pakistani counterpart even on fox. it had been almost 20 years since plans for such a hoarder were 1st the host then indian premier because the hardy bunch tight. and it's in that spirit of peace that among deep and keyed out are now making their trip. they were both born in punjab not far from where they now live in would ya know they're making the trip on behalf of their respective families and are among the 1st to have been granted permission to go to kentucky. i'm excited that i am. living the moment i saw many videos of the many big

j. is many but going across but. the thing that really will be a feeling basically i'm an. indonesian magazine that it didn't think danny and willing to listen to. their journey takes them through the indian part of the punjab the bread basket of india and the only indian state where 6 comprise the majority population the rule even romantic region is home to 18 of the 20000000 in tennessee. as well as a monday computer programs from within pakistan are also under way. on seek holidays believers are required to visit a temple for bottom ideally one of the especially holy places like mine kind of sucky birthplace of the religions founder would amount to. a little.

one kind of sucky applies a good 3 hour drive away from kentucky this is where we've been for seeing lives of works. but. i'm going along to the 1st secretly who migrated here after 947 of my grandfather and his 2 brothers were the 1st ones to come of it all. sikh from leeds had moved from here to india during the partition 947 that it partitioned into. at that time it was difficult for us pakistanis see it with a target to live here. today pakistan has an estimated 6 population of just 20000 in a country of 220000000 muslims 28 year old put in there has strong thoughts about the country's partition over 70 years ago. i could see our indian seeing brothers on the other side they would look at the good water through binoculars that was

their way of being respected and homage to the shrine for just a single glimpse of the temple these people traveled thousands of kilometers across india. we a company saying for the pakistani to one kind of psyche where a sense of tradition it's a more future oriented outlook as typified by seeing the tools of his trade or laptop and camera he's a you tube video grapher with a very specific target audience. being the team behind the plunger journal are trying to increase the love between pakistan and india because they have so much in common. and we don't understand the reasons for the hate between the 2 nations on the other hand. the temple of one kind of sucky sings favorite filming location his videos provide an insight into the secret religious service on feast days the ceremonial

reader or get on team carries the holy book into the temple on his head an expression of respect together with the ceremonial family. sick. sick sick mean someone who learns. in sikhism there is one god he is the almighty and the creator and lord over everything. he is infinite to the supreme god he is the god of. truth and he takes care of all living things got to work. women have equal rights in the sikh religion and there is no caste system as a hindu is a belief in one god and one book of faith as a concept also familiar to muslims while hindus recognise the notion of guru sat beneath sacred trees. good or not adopted a range of ideas from the great religions he was surrounded by but also added his own notably the 3 basic principles praying and thinking of god earning

a living by honest means and sharing the fruits of one's labor with others. that's why sikh temples offer free food and drink to visitors regardless of their religious affiliation those who work hard are eager to share tend to make friends this is perhaps another reason for the growing social presence of sikhs in pakistan . over the last 20 years we seek scrounger least started to become a more prominent in society as you can see in my own family. some of us are in the army some are professors doctors engineers. and one of our boys is in the rangers range of the vitreous i don't want to have so this created a sense of pride amongst us and now you can see sikhs represented in every field here and even though we're a modest mall ost minorities in the country. at. the temple next door has been

draped in a special show of lights to celebrate good or not birthday. here we meet one of the biggest relatives was also enjoyed professional success. by hendon policy. with a proud member of the provincial assembly punjab. stunned the met government of i had 6 but i am the sole sikh parliamentarian in pakistan. there's nothing better than being born in. same place where sikhism was born and origin began oddly beginning. religion just said was i'm so proud of that. for my hand at the cut out for corridor is the fruit of joint efforts at a political and religious level. and the daddy qatar poor car door is not a recent idea. it's the result of many decades of prayers by

a sikhs. in the islamic republic of pakistan religious tolerance is far from a given. 100 looks to the good example set by his fellow believers he put into the artistic no sikhs from all over the world are kind of ambassadors for pakistan to me and when they see the love and respect they receive from us god they will then know that we are a loving and peaceful nation. like all sikh temples this one is funded primarily via donations. the money increasingly comes from the us canada and britain where the majority of sikhs outside the indian subcontinent live. but it's the stance of indian sikhs that is decisive for the region. when i listen to them when our indian visitors go back they will take away the message enough violence or fighting resolves nothing

we have to sit together and talk and for that reason the car top 4 corridor will become the country for peace corridor. in new delhi veteran foreign policy expert money shankar aiyar attributes this primarily to the sikhs in pakistan this is a symbol of the importance. to reconcile the community with them. and don't forget that it is probably the sikhs who suffered the most at partition the sikhs who lost the most at partition and the sikhs also who retaliated the was a partition. the history of the sikhs as one of glory and misery triumphs and defeats of suffering and inflicting pain and nowhere is this legacy more visible or tangible than in. the cradle of sea culture in indian point just. a month given his

wife stopped up to visit his brother who lives nearby and now have their niece with him to visit the 1st and only partition museum on the indian subcontinent. the museum was opened in 2017 and the town hall of a meets up to mark the 70th anniversary of partition most of the collection comprises photos and memorabilia of people directly affected by the partition. ruins and life size replicas fair witness to the victims and give visitors a very physical and emotional impression of a suffering. 40 percent of the population you know operated completely from border side. people lost their lives there are names. used it's been 70 years they moved up north he. in june 1907 the british had agreed to separate muslim pakistan from the predominantly hindu india and grant the 2 nations independence barely 3 months later.

british wanted to rule here so it was their policy to do why do why does it have one of the you know blackest step in the colonial rule. you know you know we meet people with the white dead and you know. even expecting the apology from british parliament up until the very last minute the british left open exactly where the border with you. the radcliffe line named after the british chairman of the boundary committee was drawn in an arbitrary manner with dramatic consequences to be independent of death are involved like a disease in punjab it was like a like a plague immediately we started losing people. that the said government whenever independence day i pleased to being up and. you know i cannot relate myself to the fairly brief and because i cannot ignore this i can not ignore the suffering. the

enforced population transfers in the provinces of punjab and then god's word unprecedented with up to 20000000 displaced persons and 1000000 dead. there are no exact figures only bitter memories of the past and fears for the future. visiting this museum bringing feel it in my heart and i'm comparing that 947 moment of it today and same thing is happening today as if we should try to do something so that not think that it will happen again. but a month deep is referring to is the other element in the pakistani division. the region has a predominantly muslim population with a large hindu minority and both countries continue to press claims to the entire territory. a visit to the museum provides an alternative perspective but the price of water would have already gone into their daily war and then that it is on the history from their point of view i read the

history but everything but good ben i'm coming to a museum in this age i'm watching many new things and that's that ever a generation should be told about the mistakes. at the earliest stage. in the partition museum the thorny tree representing relations between india and pakistan has leaves very unfriendly wishes. but cuba has also experienced a less promising state of affairs. but history is being changed i am a teacher and each year courses and the syllabus is being changed especially history books by replacing chapters in them. just a 10 minute walk away from the sobering partition museum is a truly resplendent site and one intimately connected to the history of the sikhs the golden temple of ahmed it's up there holiest site and indian soil it dates from

the sixty's and seventy's centuries. in modern times it was the site of a traumatic event but spent etched into the memory it seeks. only thought that all through david 984 there was a massacre on genocide a killing of an entire generation of sikhs in delhi after that even to this day we were advised not to talk about to move forward to move on. in 19846 wanted to create their own state of college that independent of india with as its capital. fearing further independence movements that then indian prime minister indira gandhi ordered the army to storm the temple to dislodge sikh extremists who had been using it as a refuge around 500 sikhs died in the ensuing gunfire. a few weeks later

indira gandhi was murdered by to seek bodyguards and broke out and hundreds of innocent civilians were killed those responsible were eventually sentenced over 30 years after the crime. we used to look at the ruins left by the massacre and think did this actually happen in an independent and free india are we not part of india only look why did it have to come to that later on we gradually try to take a more information but we did not find any answers. for sikhs the golden temple in number will always be associated with mixed feelings and bitter memories of the storming by the indian army. it was certainly the most dogs seen on in the bin in india and on the congress party and on that as you got the government programs despite apologies that have been done do it

quickly it will be difficult for the new store here to see the tree that has been wiped out. after taking some valuable history lessons on board for the journey to a potentially brighter future a monday now heads for a card and finds time. never comes easy it never does not better our what effort you aboard how much time do you know you can do it but in the disability go to know you a bit of in these donations they were on account of a very bold step. and. thanks to him that it is happening and we believe it is going to be a wonderful step between board the nation then thought about it in. this part of the indian punjab has benefited from recent developments the equivalent of several 1000000 euros were invested in building the few kilometers of new rope across the sandy plain and the approach to cut out the road was years in the planning but even

after the opening it still resembles a building site as does the futuristic looking visitor center. barely visible in the games as a much awaited destination. for sahiba now just 2 passport checkpoints away. it's a monday and keyed out have almost reached their final goal visitor numbers are limited to 5000 a day now a few weeks after the opening the initial rush has subsided. and filming is not officially permitted beyond the gates but the indian authorities have provided an online computer animation of its passenger terminal. passport checks like at an airport but no visa requirements and. it's hard to describe how i feel i'm on the pakistani side of the punjab. h a i just gone through the immigration from the indian side and then i'll do the same on the pakistani side you can see the past behind them i'm about to get on it

and i'll go to the top or psyche i have a lot of mixed emotions right now. i thank. you know it would have been a time generation has prayed to make it very easy for us to be here today if the all we had to do was get out of form at the border and officials from both countries welcome don. and now i would like to thank all of those who made this possible for us on what do you know me is how did they exit bob and i know. that this was the end result he could not resign over the media any. snubs here shortly and say with these they were brought up. the. day. finally the pogroms dream becomes reality.

followed by you all but that up to you. unfortunately film cameras are not allowed inside the complex but keep us photos and i'm a personal account do give us an impression of how. well preserved the historical interiors and of the other many visitors they met people of all ages and social classes. the visitors are not only sikhs they also include people from all religions and regions of the subcontinent curious to see the site. you know i appreciate how people have showered us with love we spent the 1st quarter of an hour just hugging and meeting everyone else and i see you will be treated but everyone here is really passionate and full of life like to. meet strangers come up to say hello to you and octavia they tell us about their own village and they ask us about ours

i'll give you the number of. encounters with an impact lasting longer than the one day visit. but we all have to be stakeholders in years we have to put more effort into this initiative this project needs to provide alan we need more initiatives to be taken to the digital age it. is open to visitors for just 8 hours a day indian citizens are not allowed to visit other temples in pakistani soil so the scenes are now at the end of the program. back to india for ahmed family are waiting in their village for a full report on this journey. is one thing i cannot know one day i was trying to take the credit or saying they want to hide the initiative all of them said are saying the thing that i say is good or not. it is your right to come here and right as on everyone

i found no one who said otherwise. i'm excited and looking forward to telling everyone about my experiences and encouraging them to go to the i know what there are some people who are wary when they hear them. but i would have to weed them to go and experience it. up until now the contact for corridor is only open to indians traveling to pakistan but not vice versa. among deep would like to see pakistani sikhs benefiting to. look at that we need to reciprocate this we are trying to do on that very site at the top or there are already immigration counters on each side extending the opening in both directions or is possible that there are also a lot of places in india that are important for seeing that friendship has to be from both sides your friend you know responds positively to our initiative we'll give them an even better response than. money a friend got

a yard from the opposition congress party in india does not share his optimism especially when it comes to a commitment from prime minister. i think he is. i think he's against this kind of a thing it doesn't suit his party and it doesn't suit his. for the support. of things between the 2 countries involved to wants peace then he has one of the candidates for the nobel peace prize as well but what is true is that. they run con that look so obvious thought he did this i would say. most indians he does have or has an eye on the nobel peace prize which would be the automatic prize that would be given for if it did reconciliation between the 2 countries. as a sikh among deep is definitely eager to promote reconciliation between the 2 nation it's only through dialogue that is both interrupted and goes up to

boot that we're going to be able to arrive at a resolution of these issues including krishna. it's clear that the cutoff for corridor has raised hopes for a more harmonious future in both parts of. life this was a lifetime opportunity for me i didn't really pay i made the decision to have it because that i live.
