Indo-Pak Sports and Cultural Ties as seen from the LOC

Unlike the earlier posts , this is no anecdote, funny or not so funny. I am aware , I am walking on thin ice , when expressing any opinion on Indo-Pak issues. I am no rightist or leftist but just a left-rightist , and would just like to ask some simple questions and leave it to the reader to answer.


Sports has no boundaries, art has no boundaries; fair enough.

Firstly, Will the sports persons and music maestros, continue to disregard the boundaries if some of their loved ones are deployed on LOC and may be shooting or being shot at even while the sports and cultural events are taking place at New delhi or Islamabad ?

Secondly, In case there is a War on , will the sports and cultural ties still  be as important ?

As seen from the LOC, you hardly find any kith and kin of a soldier amongst the people rooting for  sports and cultural interactions and secondly, there is always a war on.
