An Indian farmer in his 70s says, “I never believed we would have this sort of love from our Pakistani brethren.
On Friday, hundreds of Sikhs from India arrived in Pakistan for one of the greatest birthday celebrations in history: Guru Nanak’s 552nd birthday. The air was filled with the aroma of flowers and perfume.
The celebrations were occurring at the Sikh religion’s founding temple at Nankana Sahib, the city where he was born in 1469.
Due to coronavirus limitations in 2020, worshippers from India were unable to cross the border, which has increased the sentiment this year.
Indian farmer Darshan Singh, 70, told AFP, “I have goosebumps; I can’t even put into words how I’m feeling.”
He stated, “I never imagined we would receive this kind of love from our Pakistani brethren. They are stepping up to greet us with open arms and pure hearts despite the fact that these mothers are not Sikh and these kids have no knowledge of our faith.

Others were also caught up in the uncommon feeling of cross-border harmony between Pakistanis and Indians.
A 24-year-old Delhi resident named Annie Munjal claimed her grandparents frequently told her tales of life in Lahore prior to Partition.
She stated, “We had heard about Pakistan from them, but we never got to see. Now that we are here, they resemble us completely.
More than 12,000 people are celebrating in the gurdwara, and the joy is contagious.
