Any country that was founded through partition inherits a deleterious tradition and that in itself is a bad trend to emulate. Trend setting has a beginning but it is difficult to see how and where it will end, or if it will end at all. If a country inherits a bad trend, it will continue on the wrong path, with all kinds of development being derailed or brought to naught. The only salvation in the face of impending ruin is to openly admit failure. Admission of having taken a wrong turn is the surest way to arrive at the point of initiating new planning. Any country born of the politics of partition has only two alternatives; either to acknowledge how flawed its policy was and make a U-turn, or to refuse to admit its error and, in consequence, rush headlong towards national disaster. o Opting for partition can only lead to unending hatred and perpetuating the culture of hatred means that once the seeds of negativity have been sown, it will become impossible in this world to reap the fruits of positivity.
