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

If you can source that then we can accept that. Otherwise we have to assume she is an Indian from New Delhi.

A non-sarcastic, serious response would be better.

I seriously wish this thread wouldn't have been derailed at the first place by your fellow Pakistani.

Ejaz wanted to discuss how much is there to gain between a free trade agreement between the two countries.... I agree that we are different people and partition was good for us (my opinion)... but the crux of the matter is that valuable trade potential is being sidelined between the two countries because of trivial issues. Recent Onion crises was a living proof of how much both countries can gain out of a free trade agreement.

No offence but i found one video on youtube.
There must be some Punjabis Kashmiris(due to occupied part of Kashmir by India) or Karachities who look like Indians but Sindhis,Balochs,Pashtuns,Seraikis,Hazaras,Kalashs, Baltis,Makranis,Brohivis, etc etc have nothing common with India, not to forget that more than half of Pakistan was not even a part of Subcontinent.

Yaar Punjabis dont even make 4% of India's population while Punjabis make more than 45% of Pakistan's population. Also Punjabi Pakistanis are almost all Muslims and Punjabi Indians are almost all Sikhs or Hindus. Kashmiris are part of disputed territory. The rest of Indians (more than 95%) share nothing with Pakistanis.

The origin of this article is Pakistan, the author is a Pakistani (Karin Brulliard). The correspondent however is an Indian in new Delhi. Is that clear enough?

You can stop assuming now.

We all know that but how can bharati hindu (high cast rich Brahmin) write article for uncle sam washington times.

Everyone knows what's going on, i.e. this person is from India.

Here is what's going on. Karin Brulliard is a correspondence from Lahore and Rama Lakshmi is from Delhi.

I noticed that ever since people started paying their way up the ladder ( isn't that what this 'premium member' business is all about), standards are not what they used to be.

Don't accuse me of me being un'fair' now........

Yes but this indian hindu contributed to this article from New Delhi, India. Keep this indian girl in india please

It isn't. What RAW can sponser is only terrorism. That's all where their money goes to.


Look, if you don't want to troll a non-admin/non-mod on this forum, it'd be me.

The rest of Indians (more than 95%) share nothing with Pakistanis.

By that logic a bengali shares nothing with a marathi, an assamese shares nothing with a punjabi, a nepali shares nothing with a tamil, yet we are a Nation. You don't have to care for dissimilarities, a feeling of unity is enough to bind you as one.

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.
