Lmao...the worst of burgers and ultra liberal idiots from our side sucking upto india...what's new?

This bitch---I mean girl--goes like "We don't wear burkha and we smoke!"...Like how pathetically you have to suck upto non-Muslims just to show "we are just like you. Accept us".....Our girls don't wear burkas, they wear traditional Pakistani clothes....but they also don't smoke or drink for the most part. These students should reflect our true culture to bhartis and try to not suck up to em that much

Absolutely pathetic

Experience in India completely at odds with what we heard, say Pakistani students
DIVYA NARAYANAN 19 June, 2018

The 71 Pak students who visited India on a cultural exchange also want to change how Indians view their country.

New Delhi: Ramsha Rehman made plans to go watch Veere Di Wedding as soon as she and her friends landed in Delhi, because the film is banned back home in Pakistan, and in any case, they wanted to “experience a visit to an Indian movie theatre”.

A Communication Design student from the National College of Arts in Lahore, Ramsha and a few friends finally got to watch it but it wasn’t the film that thrilled them as much as the fact that she and 70 other Pakistani students got to spend the last two weeks in India.

“I was told there is flash kidnapping and several incidents of rape in Delhi. I was asked not to go out after 7. But what I heard across the border is wrong,” said Ikra Nadeem, a masters student from National College of Arts, Lahore.

She added that although she had the opportunity to go to Spain, she chose to come to India due to the difficulty in obtaining a visa.

Ikra and Ramsha are part of a group of Pakistani students, most of who have come to India for the first time as a part of a cultural exchange programme. They said that their experience in India has been completely at odds with what they had expected.

“I am taking back so many wonderful memories. I can’t even describe how much my thinking has changed,” she said.

A similar sentiment was echoed by many of the other students.

“We had the liberty to cycle all around the IIT-Kharagpur campus till the morning, chatting with the other students. You can’t do that so openly in Lahore,” said Namrah Fatima, a third year architecture student from NCA.

While the students claimed to have experienced minor inconveniences due to language barriers and the absence of a ‘Muslim shower’ (water jet) in public washrooms, they also claimed to have had an overall experience that was very enriching.

“I cried when we crossed the border. It was such a special moment to be able to get a visa to come to India. I’m waiting for another year so that I can visit again,” said Ramsha, a communication design student from NCA.

‘Art, culture not that different’

Most students also felt that although the experience of art, culture and heritage was not as drastically different in India and Pakistan as was portrayed in the media, their exposure to this was always limited in Pakistan.

“Pakistan has untapped diversity,” said Zafeer Butt, filmmaker and former NCA student.

In Delhi, the students were given the opportunity to attend a day of cultural events at Spic Macay. They have also visited Kolkata and Agra and return home Tuesday.

Along with changing how they perceived Indians, some students also spoke about changing how Indians viewed them.

“They (Indian students) were shocked to see some of us not wearing a burkha and smoking. They believed we are only violent people but now they know we are just like them,” said Ikra.

Like there are religious people in India who do not go to the temple, there are similar people in Pakistan, she added.

The group of 71 students arrived in India on 1 June from the NCA and the Center of Excellence Arts & Design in Lahore, as a part of a cultural exchange initiated by Indian filmmaker, Harsh Narayan.

Narayan has been organising this exchange for the last 15 years with students from various institutions across Pakistan.

“The idea is to connect young minds from both sides of the border so that they can work together to overcome artificial stereotypes and misconceptions,” said Narayan.

Speaking to ThePrint, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood lauded this effort to bridge the gap between the two nations.

“We must have such platforms at multiple levels for enhanced interaction between the two countries. It is only when interaction is increased that preconceived notions and misconceptions can be eradicated and mutual understanding fostered,” he said.

“Similar events can be planned for Indian students to go to Pakistan. The endeavour must be to improve the environment of bilateral relations and ensure sustained engagement.”

Wait till they meet Modi and his gang or a random rapist in a bus. I will ask them for their perception.

This is an Indian source so I will take the info with a big grain of salt.

@Dalit @Nilu Pule @ashok321 @Talwar e Pakistan @Areesh @Maarkhoor

Wait so you think posting the worst about a country compared to your best is a good debate

Let me show you why this is stupid

Did you know that India has been declared the worst nation in the world for women

Did you know India has tens of millions of people in extreme poverty, hundreds of millions in poverty and if it used U.N recognised parameters that would increase its poverty levels

Did you know U.N declared india a state sponsored humans rights abuser in Kashmir

60% of the total population of the world who do not have access to toilets live in India and they are forced to defecate in the open.

Two-thirds of people in India live in poverty: 68.8% of the Indian population lives on less than $2 a day. Over 30% even have less than $1.25 per day available - they are considered extremely poor. This makes the Indian subcontinent one of the poorest countries in the world; women and children, the weakest members of Indian society, suffer most.

India is one of the world’s top countries when it comes to malnutrition: More than 200 million people don’t have sufficient access to food, including 61 million children. 7.8 million infants were found to have a birth weight of less than 2.5 kilograms - alarming figures for a country commonly referred to as the emerging market.

Child marriage - the early end of childhood

In spite of banning minors from marrying in 2006, it is still widespread in many regions of India. The main leaders in this practice are young girls, who are still children themselves and become mothers too early. Many of them die at birth. According to an investigation by the medical journal The Lancet, 44.5% of girls are still married in India before they are of legal age.

Due to poverty, many parents encourage early marriages for their daughters in hopes of better lives for them

HIV / AIDS - a taboo in Indian society
2.7 million Indians are infected with the HIV virus; about 220,000 of them are children, with the tendency rising. The lack of education and the lack of condoms mean that the virus is spreading faster and faster and more and more people are dying of AIDS - especially in the slums of the growing cities. More and more children are living there as so-called AIDS orphans , often being infected with the virus as well.


Its easy just to point fingers

Do you know according to global fire power your military power is now standing 17th from 13th rank last year.India standing at 4th ranking.You will be out of top 20 list in about two years time.

Not only a Pakistans nuclear assets not taken into account but neither are Pakistans strategic assets that we have been working on from MIRV to SLCMs to anti ship cruises

Over the next few years we have 8 subs coming our way, our current dub fleet has been upgraded in Turkey, also coming is 4 milgems, 4 type 54s, Block 3 Jf 17s, 30+ T129 attack helicopters, new tanks etc

All things considered we are a significant world military and the reason why india hasent grown the balls to attack

Nice gesture. This sort of exchanges should keep happening. This will strengthen the relationships so that we can exploit the potential of friendship when the main hurdle in friendship Pakistan army ceases to spoil the relationship.

They are in all cities or urban centers. And yes Lahore is in Punjab and producing more idiots than others.

You would find Karachi more anti India than Lahore who for some reason like sucking to Indians.
