I laughed when the commentator says Lahore has remained a liberal and secular city. May be before partition when there was something to be liberal or secular about

Commentator said right. Lahore have mosques, Gurudwaras, Mandirs, Churches though majority population is Muslim but all minorities are there in Lahore and contributing Pakistan's economy. Just visit lahore to know everything. People are hospitable, loving.

Yash Chopra's "Veer Zaara" movie was also influenced for this initiative. The movie was released in November 2004 & that time a lot of peaceful appreciation & love among many Indians & Pakistanis were expressed on media, personal letters & greetings to the team. Hence, finally in around January/February of 2006, this train was started.

It is a great and well made documentary and it certainly deserves a special recognition award. Many Thanks to all those who were involve in the making of it. God Bless.

British India's 2 dominant state BENGAL & PUNJAB affected most by partition. *Bengal was the worst sufferer as East Bengal was affected by West Punjab in Pakistan regime* So, The ultimate battleground was Bengal since 1947 & rest of British Indian state was merely audience.
@fatehjeetsingh1430

U can't say bengal was the worst sufferer... Only 40% of Punjab stayed in india... rest went to Pakistan.. Most of the sikh empire and it's history is related to areas which are now not a part of present day india.. So we lost a big big chunk of our history. And after 1947, Punjab has always suffered... First Himachal pradesh taken out of Punjab, then haryana was formed from Punjab.. Even chandigarh is not a full fledge in Punjab.. After that all the 3 wars with Pakistan, china, kargil,,.. Punjabi people had the biggest contribution in army.. Punjab also suffered sikh genocide after 1984. Punjab had literally lost majority of its youth. So u can't say, that after partition, only bengal was worst affected.. Bengal suffered in 1947 just like Punjab, if not less. And once when Bangladesh was formed.

Samjhauta Express was a good idea but it should have been a premium train, like the Rajdhani and Shatabdi express. By the looks of it, it's an ordinary passenger train and doesn't do justice to the concept as well as to those who use it.

1. This Documentary is 10 years old 2.Samjhuta Express carriages were last seen by my own eyes in 2016 at its designated platform in Lahore Junction. Now it has ceased operations. 3. Kartarpur Corridor was opened by Prime minister Imran Khan's government and the whole thing was built from scratch. Also, its some sort of easy way to meet friends from being a common point. 4. Sikhs travel to Nankana Sahib city on buses crossing through Wagah border and the railways for them were ceased operations. Sikhs also travel to Kartarpur Corridor in masses as its also a holy site for them. Edit to point 3: Friends from India
Marvelous report I have already been to India, I take a many interesting trains across this fantastic country but unfortunately never the Samjhauta and I don’t know Pakistan. I like to travel by train when it’s possible, and I work as a train driver from France …..Thanks for sharing
It is not my intention to underestimate the importance of having good relations between India and Pakistan, which is certainly the primary goal right now. But if you allow me to look to the future, I would like to observe that this railway route is the one that could potentially connect India, Pakistan, Iran, Turkey and therefore Europe. If today there are regular freight rail services between China and Europe, why not think in the future to have similar services between India and Europe? Of course now the problems are mainly political, while the technical problems, which anyway do exist, could be easily overcome. But I hope for a better future for everyone where political problems can be just a memory of the past. All the best to Indian and Pakistani people from an Italian railfan!!

Brother main problem is muslims non acceptance to hindus they deem our god's not worthy of worship & don't tolerate hindus amongst them on the other hand hindus are also getting radicalised by seeing this behaviour of muslims in this era of social networking because till date brutality was only word of mouth now when we witness it live we cannot comprehend it.

Bangladesh was also part of INDIA before independence. The British empire created east Pakistan and west Pakistan after a lot of bloodshed.but Bangladeshi people even though a poor country it utilized its resources and manpower to emerge as one of the fastest growing economies. Whereas Pakistan was embroiled in it's on problems created by it's own political system. There is still time even for it to come out of the situation and develop into a powerful economic nation.and for it the railways play a major part as it(Pakistan) also inherited from the British empire.
