Pakistan is a South Asian country and western neighbour of India. It was created in 1947 after being partitioned from India during independence. It has longstanding border disputes with India and is currently reeling under economic and political issues.
Thoughts go sometimes to Ms Gurmehar Kaur, wise beyond her years. One shares the Tripathi family’s pain and desire for retribution, but then the cycle will continue.

After the Last Post is sounded, they will have a lifetime of loss and memories.
