A cliché from Nawab Din’s Story

#7 ``every prodigal son wanting to return home.``

Wake up from your dream world. No one is breaking down the door to come settle in India from Pakistan. And in fact the flow to date has been the other way.

Bechara Baba ji,

I hope his wish is granted and India lets him stay in his pinD. I dont think this case will have any implications as this guy i stoo old and he is not claiming property or anything, just his right to live the last few years of his life there. It would be a different story if my dad went to India and refused to come back and asked for his land/house back. But this guys way too old for any punga like that.

Be nice to him Indians and help him!

thanks for highlighting this issue.
there are thousands of people from rajouri in mirpur and kotli, infact one of our neighbour was from kot bainka, i believe before the militancy some of them used to visit their relatives by crossing the loc.

no I do not mean that. The issue is one of right of return to ones property as well.

Once a precedence is set, the law runs its natural course. And as things stand he could be breaking the law.

Re: # 6

I don`t think Pakistan will object if someone of no use to it voluntary renounces his citizenship. And `right of return` is too loaded a term here. This is a simple case of someone wanting to die in his homeland. No need to regularize it and open the floodgates to every prodigal son wanting to return home.

#5 where will it end? That is the questin you must answer first. Would Pakistan be happy with it? Implications of the decision are important. Right of return could be set in stone then and it would be one sided?

#4

Precedence is the issue here. It will open the flood gates and will there be reciprocation?

Bhai Dotty, every good (or for that matter bad) thing has a start somewhere. And in humanitarian matters, why should we seek reciprocation?

somehow i doubt if it will happen (even if we take VRV`s advice in #3)

Precedence is the issue here. It will open the flood gates and will there be reciprocation? What are its implications?

Mr. Chowdhary and all concerned persons (Harish Included),

I think we shud petition the President and Prime Minister of India and as many MPs as possible to let the centurion to live in the place of his birth.

As the author has rightly pointed out that a man as old as 107 cant do any harm to anybody.

If the last morsel of humanity is gone from us, then we are human beings at all.

Pl petition all the concerned.

Zafar bhai,

If all else fails, you should perhaps write to the President of India. I`m sure he, being a man of great compassion, will do something. If there is anything people like me can do to help, please let me know.

India should honour Nawab Din for spurning the land of pure and coming back to India to rest in peace for ever...........
