How much of Pakistani culture is Indian?

[illusion8]

These people are shrieking like r@ped victims, FYI you were not r@ped - you willingly gave in and let our culture enter.
No one forced their culture on you - you adopted our culture yourself.

The core of the Indus Valley Civilization that included harappa, mohenjo-daro and mehrgarh was in the land called Pakistan. Only the periphery was in parts of india. The irony is that the IVC is of a lot of cultural and historical significance to the hindus but there are hardly any hindus left in that land now

New title should be how much of Pakistani culture is Indian. Indians have copied our IVC culture and tradition, religion, language etc.

do you get it that we are living in 2012 not 3000-4000 BC!

if you believe India's cultural influence on Pakistan is despisable, why not ban India's Television channels as well as other cultural similarities. IMO, URDU language is the reason why Pakistanis are interested in India. why not encourage another language which can help Pakistani people from India's influence. like....FARSI.

but, We are not(atleast a minority) really happy that North Indian culture spreads in Pakistan.

The Indians are completely accomplice to globalism. While some people in cities make you feel that Indian culture is dominant, the truth is most Pakistanis do not give importance to bollywood/indians.

Rural areas yes urban areas NO.

You are mistaken by bollywood movies to be indian culture, real indian culture is **** compared to Pakistani muslim culture. We are much more open minded and civilized than backward indians.

Yes, and you have bigger hearts too...

Indians are going to be proud of IVC whether you guys want it or not, as that is one of the many building blocks of South Asian INDIGINEOUS civilization, something that India prides itself on being based on, much like the Ganga/Yamunas/Chola/ Gandharas/Vedic/Mauryas etc. These Pakistanis were getting slaughtered by Arabs and converted to Islam to save their sorry a*ses, and now they are telling us $hit. Since Pakistanis abandoned their civilization in fear, someone had to make sure that the indigenous South Asian civilizations flourished, and you guys have India to thank for that

There is nothing indigenous about Pakistani culture, like come one you guys are Muslim, enough said. At one point in time you imported your culture of Islam from Arabia, nowadays, you guys are importing Bollywood culture from India...

hahaha, you think so buddy. Their wont be such thing as "Pakistani Muslim culture" because we are heading towards "open minded" civilization in which Indian/western culture will be imitated.

Your argument that Islam is about arab culture does not hold water. Only one-eighth of the muslim population worldwide is Arab. And there is not much historical evidence to support your assertion that islam was spread by force in the sub-continent.
That is because Islam is a global religion and has attracted followers and converts from all over the world. Islam is compatiable with every culture and land.
Hinduism is more of a regional religion and has not attracted followers anywhere outside the sub-continent with the only exception of hare krishnas, who are very small in number. Throughout history, people have always converted out of hinduism and hinduism shares similarities with paganism.

Almost the entire history that the hindus claim as their own happened in the land called Pakistan. The Indus valley civilization almost in it's entirety was in Pakistan.

It pains the hindus when they see that the land of such historical and cultural significance to them is now in muslim hands FOREVER. Now hindus are less than 2% of Pakistan's population and in a few more decades there will be no trace of hinduism left in Pakistan!!

Here is today's news.

Pakistan Air Force owned cinema hall shuts after ban on Indian films

Lahore: A cinema hall owned by Pakistan Air Force in this eastern city has been closed by its private management after officials imposed a ban on screening Indian movies earlier this month.

The PAF officials singled out Indian films for a ban though Bollywood productions are being screened across Pakistan, including in two other cinema halls within Lahore Cantonment, sources said.

The PAF has been leasing the management of its cinema to private parties through annual contracts. The current private management took over the hall more than two years ago and spent around Rs 20 million on its renovation, an official said.

On September 6, which is observed as Defence Day in Pakistan to commemorate those killed in the 1965 war with India, the PAF ordered the private management to immediately stop screening Indian films.

"You are hereby directed to stop screening of Indian films in the PAF Cinema, Lahore, with immediate effect," the order said.

The private management of the cinema hall said it suffered huge financial losses after a ban was imposed on screening Indian films. Nadir Latif, an official of the management, said the hall had been closed since September 7.

Latif said when the ban was imposed, "Raaz 3" was being screened at the hall. "Barfi!" was next in line to be screened, followed by "Heroine".

"I have had to bear losses running into millions of rupees for not being allowed to show these movies," he said.

"Practically speaking, the PAF has closed the cinema and it should now give us compensation," he argued.

Latif has also approached PAF officials, seeking a relaxation of the ban. His case is based on the stated difference between an "Indian film" and a "foreign film of non-Indian" origin.

According to the current policy, movies starring Indian actors may not be treated as "Indian products" but simply as foreign films.

Such foreign films are routinely imported from Dubai. "Raaz 3" was cleared by censors in Punjab province as a product of Britain.

Latif said he attached a letter of the Punjab Censor Board with documents that he submitted to PAF authorities.

The letter read: "You are humbly informed that... Punjab Film Censor Board has been screening foreign produced films (sic), all of films are imported from Dubai, either English feature films or Urdu feature films. These are taken as foreign films.
Punjab Films Censor Board has never screened any film imported from India or has never issued Censor Certificate to Indian films."

Yes you are right.

Hinduism is an ancient Pakistani religion.

In a few more decades there will be no trace of hinduism left in Pakistan!!

This is why the whole world calls Pakistan terrorists, because it is in your thinking. I really don't give a rat's *** as to Pakistan today, and couldn't care less if you identity-less fools decide to become 100% Muslim or Christian or Hindu.

P.S. If it makes you feel any better, your ancestors were also treated like Rinkle Kumari by the invaders...
