Just by coincidence right now on CBC Radio - which is what I was listening
to whilst driving on errands - there is a documentary/interview show
about Indians and Pakinstanis currently celebrating their partition and
independence from British rule. The host preambled the show by saying
that the world anxiously watches this part of the world "and with good
reason" because of the hatred and religious intolerance. By the time I
got home, he was asking interviewees from each country- by phone - if they
could come up with some positive statements about the other. I only
caught the Pakistani side, the fellow saying that when he grew up he
didn't know the difference between Hindus and Sikhs. The sudden purging
from their neighbourhood wasn't really talked about except for casual
strolls or drives with their family, saying "oh that's where so-and-so
used to live", etc. He complimented India on being seemingly more
tolerant than Pakistan of various religions.

In India, in the building where I live, in which there are 16 flats and
six shops, there are Christians, Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs, at least one
of the shops belongs to one of each as well...

But we're sort of on the boundary between a Muslim and a Hindu area and
across the road from a big church and a big Hindu temple, with the mosque
just around the corner...

There is some religious tension, but none that actually stops people going
about their business, or, come to think of it, stops people shopping at a
shop owned or operated by someone from another religion.

Oh yes, and there's a Parsee bank just around the corner...

And every different group has excellent restaurants in the area.

Now out in the villages this certainly isn't the case, and every village
tends to have its own religion, but often you'll have two adjoining
villages of different religions, with one set of shops and service
providers...

I love Indian food btw. I've never thought of trying Pakistani food. Is
there typical Pakistan fare?

Not really.

What gets served up in most 'Indian restaurants' in the UK is actually
Pakistani with some bits added and some more taken away to fit the local
tastes.

India has a number of different cuisines, most of which seem to be
available near me in Bombay
:-)

We keep talking about starting a business selling food and shopping holidays
to India.

I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.
Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland
I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate
All these moments will be lost in time, like icecream on the beach
Time for tea.
