Three words – No we don’t!
Or at least, not all of us do.
Pakistan has a lot in common with India; both being multi-cultural countries that share more than just a common border.
Born just a day apart. The not-so-quite twins!
Natives from both the countries looking almost alike.
Make a Pakistani and an Indian stand shoulder to shoulder
and you wouldn’t be able to discern one’s national identity from the other.
No such thing as a communication barrier.
Then how can you possibly hate one of your own?
For Pakistani’s reading this post and bloating with angry,
ready to burst and vehemently disagree, here’s the deal. There could be a possibility
of you just being indifferent towards India rather than blindly hating on it.
So I repeat, not ALL of us hate India.
We love to groove to the beats of Honey Singh!
All of the latest Indian flicks make Pakistani’s throng to
cinemas in hordes!
Our shaadi’s are incomplete without medley dances, Bollywood
style!
And this is just the cinematic and musical aspect of our
not-so-hateful relationship with India.
I had an opportunity to visit India during my final year in
school. As expected, I had been exposed to loads of politicallyand historically motivated BS about India by that time (Courtesy: History Books). However,
I crossed the border with as much enthusiastic about India as I would have about visiting any other foreign
country for the first time. By the end of the 12-Day trip I had learnt important life lessons. Best of which was, it doesn’t take much to
hate on someone, but it definitely takes a lot to like someone who you’ve been
taught to hate since pretty much the time you first opened your eyes into this
world.
So in conclusion
India is beautiful, its food is almost as good as ours. :D A
little non-veg but with the same tarka and spices! :D
The people there treat you like you’e royalty. I’m pretty
sure we don’t get such treatment in any other foreign country.
Pakistani's and Indians have the potential to form beautiful friendships.
Pakistani's and Indians have the potential to form beautiful friendships.
And lastly, just like we don’t all hate India, neither do
all Indians have Shiv Sena in them.
Hence proved,
Not all Pakistani’s hate Indians.
Stereotype - All Pakistani’s hate Indians. Status = BUSTED!
PS: For those who do in fact hate India, because I am aware
that exceptions exist, maybe all you haters could shift yur attitude a bit. How
about going with the Plain White T’s “Hate is a strong word, but I really
really really don’t like you.” ;)
PPS: We don’t all hate India, but a Pakistan vs. India
cricket match and IT IS WAR! :D
