It is a frightening time in Pakistan

This is the first time I’ve been to India after 26/11 and the weirdest thing is that actually of all my trips to India I found the least antagonism this time. But it isn’t a post 26/11 scenario but rather post Salman Taseer assassination one.

Everyone here feels that Pakistan is in such a terrible state to say ‘Why you’re doing this to our nation?’ There’s this feeling of  ‘Oh my god your country! I am so sorry!’ The animosity is much less but it is in some way because there is a profound sense of ‘We’re so glad we’re not in your nation’!
