There is much that can be learned from the partition of India and Pakistan. It is also easy to see problems when we are looking back on them as history, but if you are a student of current events, you will see similarities between this historical account and the dilemma in Israel/Palestine of who the land belongs to. In their case, as in India's, the people do not all recognize the same government leaders, instead acknowledging leaders who support their perspective. And instead of a partition into two separate countries, Israel built a wall. When people focus more on their differences than their similarities, they are more prone to division, which impacts governability. Do they identify with their country and trust the decisions their government is making? Or are they more focused on "regional" issues - issues of religion, ethnicity, politics, or others - and thus unwilling to allow their government to make decisions that impact them?
