I think of myself as Indian in a sense that includes Pakistan: Aatish Taseer
Because of Partition, my relationship with nationality's always been strange. My ties with Punjab are more real than abstract relations with Pakistan or India. Nations are made up of songs, dress, the way people talk, literatures — those are much closer to one than the passport you carry. But Pakistan never recognised this. It was based on rejecting these for a larger Muslim allegiance.
