Pakistanis and Indians Combine Their National Anthems in This Heartwarming Video

Pakistan and India share a history that is certainly one of the most complex international relations in the modern world. The relationship is further complicated with the indoctrination of hate through text books, politics and media. It is because of this that there is virtually no social media thread about either country where Pakistani and Indian citizens don’t lock horns.

However, despite the constant tension between the bickering neighbours, there is a subtle movement led by the youth of both the countries that is helping Pakistan and India rise above their differences and embrace the message of peace and friendship.

We thought that the rendition of Pakistan’s national anthem by Indian Acapella band, Voxchord was a one-of-its-kind effort but then “Voice of Ram” – a Facebook humanitarian page – recently posted a video in which singers from Pakistan and India are seen singing a combined version of the national anthems of the two countries.
