Is it not possible that humans from hundreds of different species (yes new species are being discovered all the time) evolved many millions of years ago and that they parted ways as the continents drifted? Think about this: India and Africa were tied together in the super-continent. Both the East coast of Africa and the West coast of India have lions.

Quantum biology can provide that intelligent framework. Among other things, it can explain how life began, evolution, consciousness, photosynthesis, bird flights over thousands of kilometres continuously guided by Earth’s magnetic fields, pheromones that attract us to potential mates, the sense of smell and more importantly in these troubled times, the behaviour of viruses and our immune systems.

These unlikely COVID success stories actually make virtue out of unpalatable reality. And, of ACCIDENTAL SUCCESSES.

Therefore, the strategic objective in the 1940s was to physically separate a soon-to-be independent India from the then USSR and Afghanistan. Pakistan was to be the buffer state to realise the insidious British strategic objective. That explains why the India-Pakistan border is roughly parallel to the Pakistan-Afghanistan border.
