While it’s great to have a certain level of rivalry, we must ensure we don’t go overboard. It is truly heartening to see that people like Archana exist and speak up, planting seeds of hope for the fact that maybe, just maybe, hum sab sar phiray nahi hain. We hope the tension eventually dissipates to a point where an India vs Pakistan match can be enjoyed without distasteful comments from either side.
