So, ever since P.O.W has started, a doubt had been lingering upon that whether a pakistani should or should not watch it. Whether it is against patriotism or whether i am being disloyal to my country watching a show which out rightly will be against my country,. I started it, fell in love with it, and then left it a i felt i had to ignore many things to love it, and but thanks to my cross border friends, who were al praises about Sid, that i started it again, and i realized what you learn when u watch a patriotic show of another country.
1. You are not the only person who loves his/her country. As a Pakistani if i love my country, every Indian does that too, and that allows all of us a liberty of forgiveness if we ever cross the line. Love of ones's country is said to be very powerful.
2. Indian and Pakistanis both will invent bizarre excuses to justify their losses in the cricket field, like they will invent every lame excuse but will not accept that the other team is better.
3. You can draw borders on ground, but you cant stop entertainment influx. Hussian shouting that India is an enemy state and then singing thier songs was a beautiful paradox.
>4. Linguistic politics can influence more then we assume. Lala's haveli was said to be in "Pakistani Occupied Kashmir", while in pakistan we call that city "Azad Kashmir" - Look at the contrast between two words - occupied & azad!
5. If you plan to destroy someone else's home, the ruins will begin from your own home .. Lala wants to destroy India, he has to sacrifice his little boy first.
6. Humans everywhere can be molded by love and destroyed by betrayal.
7. Hatred for another country is promoted on a personal agenda rather than love for ones country. No Pakistani hates India because he loves pakistan, and no indian hates pakistan because he loves india - loving ur own country doesn't make u hate another one - the hate is always promoted on a personal agenda, which am assuming Lala will have one too.
So i am going to continue watching this show, as in no way is it a threat to my patriotism, but a new horizon and perspective to understand someone's else's love for thier country too.
