  1. Poor soul, just made one bad decision of going to p0rkistan, and suffered life-long. Maybe he didn't have a choice and migrated when his entire family was migrating. But he was still 20 at that time, he should have shown more courage and authenticity, and he should have stayed back in India, his mother country, instead of living in the land of islamic hatred. He should have reverted to his original religion, Hinduism, and should have shown the way to all other muslims who are products of forced conversions.
