A PAKISTANI FAMILY FIND SEATS ON THE FLOOR OF THE SAMJOTHA EXPRESS, 2001-07-13 (photo)

A Pakistani family find seats on the floor of a compartment on the Samjotha Express, a train service which travels twice a week from the Wagah railway station on the border town of Wagah, some 20 km to the east of the provincial capital of Punjab, July 13, 2001. More than half a century after the hasty partition of the Asian subcontinent by departing British colonialists, relations between India and Pakistan are still dogged by hatred, suspicion and misunderstanding. Pakistani military ruler General Pervez Musharraf will visit India for a two-day summit July 14-16 with Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to focus on the disputed territory of the Himalayan region of Kashmir.
