Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf’s resignation brings to an end one of the more interesting curiosities of subcontinental politics: for more than four years, Pakistan had a president who was born in India, while India had a Prime Minister (Manmohan Singh) who was born in Pakistan. Since the two countries’ separation is now more than six decades old, that anomaly is unlikely to be repeated.
巴基斯坦总统穆沙拉夫辞职，从而结束了南亚次大陆政治中更为有趣、令人好奇的一页。这也就是，四年多以来，巴基斯坦有一个出生在印度的总统，而印度则有一个出生在巴基斯坦的总理(辛格总理)。由于两国分裂已经超过六十年时间，这一不同寻常的状况不大可能再会重演。但是，这并非印度对于穆沙拉夫退出感到五味俱全的唯一的原因。
