It is sad that we still cling to the history that divided us. The times have changed and somehow we have to find a way to be more sensible about what is needed at present than what happened at a time when we were either not born or were too young to understand anything. I hope everyone of us wakes up and does the right thing which is taught by every religion...HUMANITY.
First as a human being, we must respect each other. If and when any Hindu did extremist acts, he is no different than any one else. Hindus have also done extreme cruelty to other living religions of India. Many Jain temples were destroyed by none other than Hindus, In fact, good Moslems saved Jain temples from being destroyed by Hindus. But all told, there is more Moslem fanatism prevailing in the world.
I remember seeing this movie in early 60s in Pakistan and this song was etched on my mind. Beautiful Kalpana Kartik lip singing a marvalous song by one of the greatest female singers of Subcontinent Lata Mangeshkar. Male version of this song by Talat Mahmoodd is also good one that Dev Anand lip sang. Movie was simple but showed good old days of Bombay when it still had colonial look/charm and was not so thickly populated.
Brother; I was born in Pakistan in 1954. My parents, however, migrated to Pakistan at the time of partition. We can debate about the merits and demerits of partition and can remain equally divided. Key to the future is to live in peace, trade and prosper and someday may have our own Union/Confederation like EU. We should look into that possibility and work toward it. No more wars and waste of large amounts of money for defense by buying antiquated surplus armaments from the west.
Looking back can show everyone what we should do when we go ahead also. Please read the Maulana Azad article at your convenience. It is easily searchable on google when you type "two nations theory india pakistan", and see the difference of what Jinah said versus that by M. Azad.
Now for the future, do you believe there should just be one country ? I do. Moslems have made tramendous contributions in India.
Kindly read Jaswant Singh's on Quaid e Azam Mihammad Ali Jinnah and also re-evaluate your priorities as a Hindu nation e.g Gujarat and even what U did to the Sikhs..
Nehru and the extremist Hindu leaders for creating Pakistan.
dev anand was the biggest heart-throb of those days--this film features Dev and Kalpana Kartik (whom he was to marry later). Great Sahir, S.D., Lata number...actually this was not as lesser known as it may appear.....
My God Dev Anand is soooooo handsome. My Dad says at one time College girls used to drool over him. By the way I think the male version of this song is better than Lata's
nice song

Maulana Abul Kalam Azad was Congress party anti-Pakistan !
M.A.Jinnah was founder of Pakistan & first citizen of Pakistan afree nation !
Myself ,was a free, born citizen of Pakistan, with my flag & my National Anthem,
and am grateful & indebted to JINNAH not Azad, we are 170 millions today !
I deeply appriciate your humanism,
Freedom cannot be compromised as it is the base root of humanism, not colonial politics !
hope you realize !
