Pakistani Sisters Bushra Ansari and Asma Abbas Rap about Peace, and Delight Thousands of People on Both Sides of the Border

Pakistani actress Bushra Ansari and her poet and writer sister Asma Abbas recently composed and performed a Punjabi rap number seeking peace between India and Pakistan. The song Humsaye Maa Jaye became an instant hit on both sides of the border, in a demonstration of how much ordinary people in both India and Pakistan desire peace. It was also a sad contrast between entrenched power centers on both sides who would prefer a permanent state of hostility and conflict instead. What is good is how much support there is for peace on both sides - as long as this is the case, those who would like otherwise, will find themselves overruled and brushed aside. Hopefully, this will happen sooner rather than later. Thank you, Bushra Sahiba and Asma Sahiba! My sincere respect to you!

Iman and Moazzam - The "News, Views and Updates" Channel

Iman and Moazzam are young Pakistani siblings who look at videos of various aspects of life in India from across the border in Pakistan, and react to what they see. In addition, they feature historical locations in Pakistan that are always of interest, in a region that is thousands of years old. Seventy plus years of intense hostility between India and Pakistan have erased the memory of the two countries' shared history from the minds of the younger generations on both sides of the border. Iman and Moazzam are among a dedicated group of young peace activists who work to keep the memories of a shared history alive. Kudos to them!

Entrepreneur, Social Worker and Documentary Film-Maker Rehan Allahwala

Rehan Allahwala is a man with much to commend him. From a successful background in technology entrepreneurship to his current aim of promoting education, encouraging both the financially weak as well as members of the minority in Pakistan to take entrepreneurship up, and with very strong video production skills (he likely has a superb team to film and edit his videos) his work in promoting peace is exemplary. I would sincerely hope that his attempts at fanning the sparks of curiosity that exist in most peoples' minds into warming and constructive flames succeed in a big way. This is one more good-hearted individual whose success is certain to make the world a better place.

Indian Instagram "Influencer" Meghna Kaur is Doing a Great Job Arranging Support for Indian Coronavirus Patients

I am wary of "influencers" on Instagram and other media, because most of these are people trying hard to get themselves noticed. How much time can you spend shaking your head sympathetically for someone who wants every aspect of their lives presented online in a faux milk and honey format? There's a reason why I follow some of these young people (and some not so young ones). It has long been a hobby of mine to find and expose scammers and cheats and many of these hang around attractive young women to try and phish. That's another story, though! Today's peacemaker is Meghna Kaur, a young woman whom I know nothing about. She does not make documentaries or seem to have a VLog like all of the others I've featured so far. Most of the young lady's posts are social ones about outings with friends, short holidays at Tier-2 resorts etc. But in recent weeks, while India has seen a horrific spike in Wuhan Virus cases, she has done something that ought to stand out a...
