Cultural affinity is more conspicuous in marriages
An Indian marriage
A Pakistani marriage
An Iranian marriage
A Arab marriage
Religion and Culture are two different things..
India believe the Culture is the bond that brings people together..whereas pakistan believe that it's the religion that brings people together.
pakistanis have similar culture to that of Indian , which they are trying hard to 'escape', and adopt the arabian cilture, but the arabs don't consider them , as u said, equal to them, even being of the same religion..
The Plight of pakistanis is well summed in the well accepted proverb
.." dhobi ka kutta... na ghar ka na ghat ka..."
Pakistan and India HAD the same culture. Now we are almost totally different, except some extra liberal Pakistani households. Pakistan has made a conscious decision to switch from 'Namaskar' to Khoda Hafiz to Allah Hafiz. Let's respect that. Today we are entirely two different cultures with a shared history. As time progresses the difference will increase. If you want to stress so hard on similarities - remember that Indians and Russians also die and rot the same way. That's all. The difference between a Muslim country and a non Muslim country is obvious. Don't be fooled by the soaps you see and Indian dramas that show Pakistanis (as ex Indians)... Times have changed. They have changed. It is time we accept it.

I have lived in the US since I was 17 and I find myself having a lot more in common with indians and begalis then I do with arabs. Here in florida we have a large palestinian and syrian population and I know some people in those communities but I really dont think we have much in common with them. Even the masjids are divided. The one I go to is mainly pakistanis and muslims from india and bangladesh. Its rare to find any arabs there.
Bro this is not the issue! we are clear with our customs and our culture, this guy is just trolling here.
Our marriages were never like this at the first place the sole problem is the media which has imposed this indian shyt onto us. But still if you look closely they are quite different. You guys have tons of customs which we dont have in our marriages.Cultural affinity is more conspicuous in marriages

We don't. Most of us don't. Some sentimental folks do thing you as ex Indians. You were the same as us some time ago, but not anymore. Peaceniks are idealists and they don't want to understand the reality.
You must be mad
