This question is obviously for Pakistanis living outside Pakistan in the diaspora. Do you get along with indians (or hindus to be more specific) in the real world outside the internet forums? How do you interact with hindus at school, university campus or workplace??
I am deliberately using the word hindu because the animosity between Pakistan and India is seen in muslim-vs-hindu terms in both countries. Muslims may be around 14% of india's population but there are hardly any muslims in india's armed forces.
I detest hindus and at my current workplace there are no hindus. But i have worked with hindus in the past and in that situation, i try to be tactful and avoid any discussion about politics or religion. If those hindus at work tried to initiate any discussion about these controversial Pakistan-vs-india issues then i did not tolerate their BS and was ruthless in my response. Otherwise I try to avoid any interaction with a hindu unless it is completely unavoidable.
I was in high school during the kargil conflict in 1999 and there were even fights between pakistanis (including myself) and indian students because of that.
I am ambivalent about sikhs even though there are lots of sikhs in the indian army. I have noticed that the sikhs living in UK and north america are either khalistani and very anti-india or they are very patriotic about india and hate us. The sikhs in the diaspora seem to have a schizophrenic mindset.
