Hundreds of Indian Sikh pilgrims arrived in Pakistan by a special train to participate in the three-day festival to celebrate the 547st birth anniversary of their spiritual leader Baba Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikh religion, at Nankana Sahib near Lahore”.

When it comes to religion, both India and Pakistan are on the different sides. Experts believe that the idea of Pakistan came into existance as some Muslims wanted a separate country.
