India and Pakistan are united by language and history, divided by commerce

And as for who brought up the issue of skin colour on this thread. The evidence is post #5. As for the article, I'm not sure who wrote that part and neither can I be sure of the authors' nationalities. I'll leave that up to you (if you feel overwhelmingly compelled) to find out.

Pakistan has many ethnic groups, but the largest 4 are Punjabis, Pakhtuns, Sindhis, and Baloch. The percentage of Pakhtuns, SIndhis, and Baloch you have in India are irrevelant (combined these ethnic groups make less than 1% of India's population). Punjabis make less than 4% of India's population. More than 95% of India's population are nothing like Pakistan's major ethnic groups. Even if you take Religion out of this, Pakistanis are different from the vast majority of Indians so I dont know why Indians like Rama Lakshmi say we are united by this and that, we are not united.

Hello....stop it, am an american with a punjabi (Indian) origin...No way....Never ever, we dont hold any similarities okayyyyyyyyyyyyy...
Leave aside.,.Its is such a disgrace if you have any relevance with pakistan.. EDIT your figure...100% of india is unlike pakistan and we as indians dont want to be termed like you..

And stop using indian names and lieing around in states to get jobs. Dont try to shadow your image on us.

Lol......i honestly think i would feel insulted if someone told me pakistanis and indians are the same. I dont want even an iota of my identity associated with pakistan.

Anyways, both the author Karin and the contributor from India are AMERICANS.

Fact remains that there is informal trade through smuggling between India and Pakistan and both will benefit if trade will liberalise. The people of Pakistan mainly the traders want it as they would not have to illegally smuggle Indian products from Afghanistan.

Trade IS happening between India and Pakistan. But while India Afghanistan and other countries in the pipeline are legally trading and charing custom duties on exports/imports. GoP is losing duties do to smuggling with Afghanistan.

By you logic, non Punjabis should not have place in Pakistan. You are emphasizing the importance of Punjabis on Pakistan but your forget that your economy runs on Karachi and not through Lahore. Each and every inch of land and people of a country are important. Because of people like you, disintegration happens and best example is Bengali, where you put forward your strong ego.

We Indians (Bharati Hindu Brahmins, high cast, whatever) should try to understand is that showing ourself better than our own country person, is nothing but shame on our being Indian. We should not only respect our country people but also others.

lol a indian trying to tell us that only karachi is running pakistan's economy

When I talk to Indians in my language, I'm never understood. That makes me say we are divided by language too.
