‘Aman Ki Asha’, a joint initiative between two leading media groups of India and Pakistan – The Times of India Group and The Jang – is born out of a dream, a dream to live past the decades of distrust, hostility and wounds and build, instead, a future of hope, faith and bonhomie across the border.


It is an online forum for people of the sub-continent, who share love, respect and admiration to each other and yarn for peace, stability and prosperity.

Enough of playing at the hand of war-mongering fanatics, the political jingoism that we are fed in regular doses. We know, some will be there to ridicule us. But, this people-to-people peace initiative aims at defying the forces of evil. We’ll persist on the power of our belief, the belief that the sum of all good must triumph over the sum of all evil.


Come, let us celebrate what we share in common – the social, cultural, familial and above all, emotional ties that bind us together – rather than the differences that keep us apart. On  'Aman Ki Asha' forum we will talk, laugh, sing, paint, share our thoughts, memories, aspirations; join hands in building a future for ourselves, our friends, relatives and children.

This unending cycle of enmity and violence has to stop. Give peace a chance.
