‘You surely got a brother’ ‘You surely got a brother’While we debate ad nauseam the placard that a Kargil martyr’s daughter Gurmehar Kaur held a year back without current context, here’s another video that has resurfaced online and is being widely shared now – and it’s a message from a Pakistani guy to Kaur. Branding the 20-year-old an anti-national and whatnot, Twitter trolls embroiled her in a debate that had little basis. Any attempt at suggesting that the ‘infamous’ placard was taken out of context – from a video titled Soldier of Peace, no less – was drowned out. Among the videos being shared now is this one by Australia-resident Fayaz Khan, a Pakistani who posted a response to Kaur’s original video sending her love from the “Dushman Desh”. The Gurmehar Kaur controversy is a perfect example of jumping the gun without a thought.
