Amidst the ever-escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, border disputes, terrorism, cricket bans and cultural boycotts, a scene has emerged that has given a new direction to the entire debate. Popular Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum surprised everyone by hoisting the Indian tricolour during a live concert in Nepal. At a time when tensions and sanctions are prevailing between the two countries instead of dialogue, the raising of the Indian flag by a Pakistani artist moved Indian fans, but sparked anger and debate in Pakistan.
