India is just like Pakistan, say reality show contestants (from Pakistan)

[PakiiZeeshan]

In that way no Punjabi is similar to a Baluch. No Bengali is similar to a Marathi or a Tamil or a Gharwali. Other than this which dissimilarities you see? Anyone didn't notice those dissimilarities just even 30 years before the creation of Pakistan?

Dude, Most of the young Pakistani generation don't view themselves the same as Indians at all. Pakistani-Balochis and Pak-Punjabis wouldn't really care about ethnicity...we all just see eachother as Pakistanis.

India does have influence in Pakistan through Bollywood....but the Bollywood craze will eventually die out...

It was NOT The current INDIA at that time. Merely using the word India does not mean the current day country Bharat with a tricolor flag.

Than what 'India'? Was not the people of Sindh or west Punjab were called Indians before the partition?

I know that if a country is broken the next day everyone become dissimilar, like current India and Pakistan. We are going different ways for last six decades in modern times when everything change very fast. So currently we are different but it was not the case just from the early days of history to 1947.

most sikhs i've met have been hateful towards me because i'm muslim!

Youtube ? Stop posting BS, Sikhs worship Hazrat Baba Sheikh Farid, his verses are preserved in the holy book.

A Sikh does not show preference to any religion, he hold no bias. Sikh Holy Book guides a Muslim to be a better and purer Muslim, a Hindu to be a better Hindu and a Sikh to be a better Sikh.

It should be noted that despite the atrocities committed by the Mughal leadership in the name of their religion, the Sikh Gurus never criticised their religion, rather they blamed their evil directly. In the following verses of the Zafarnama, Guru Gobind Singh addresses the evil practices of Aurangzeb directly, he never attacks his religion:

Aurangzeb! I did not know that you are a perjurer; that you are mere worshipper of wealth and breaker of your faith.
You neither follow the teachings of Islam nor you understand its meaning. You do not know the ways of the Lord nor do you have any faith in the Prophet Mohammed.
Any believer of his faith, will not look here and there (while fulfilling) his own promises.
This man (Aurangzeb) who swears by the Koran as well as by One God, cannot be trusted even equivalent of a speck of sand.
(So now) if you swear hundred times on the Koran, I do not have trust in you even equivalent to a drop of water.
Zafarnama verse 46-49

See bro, no hate for Islam even after Aurangzeb executed 2 of his sons.

Are you suggesting that those dissimilarities grew over night, Jinnah one day suddenly woke up and decided he needs a separate country???

 

[Mirza Jatt]

i use to consider myself the same as indian punjabis, but i no longer see any similarities with indian/punjabis, and i don't really want any unity with the indian/punjabis. because from my experiance, most sikhs i've met have been hateful towards me because i'm muslim! some sikhs even told me that i'm not a real Punjabi because i'm a muslim...lol

I dont belive you sir..any sikh saying he hates you because you are a pakistani i can agree bu he cant hate you because you being a Muslim...I would have agreed if you would have said it was some indian..but as a sikh..I dont think so...as a member already posted..Muslims have a big share in our sikh history......people like Mian Mir, Baba Farid, Baba Bhikhan, Bhai Mardana, baba Buddan shah were al Muslims and are placed highly in sikhism..they are worshipped inspite of them being Muslim.

You didn't answered the main part. "n that way no Punjabi is similar to a Baluch. No Bengali is similar to a Marathi or a Tamil or a Gharwali. Other than this which dissimilarities you see?"

I think you know when the 'concept of Pakistan came' and who were being called as Pakistanis.

All the provinces of India has similarities with those it resides. Like West bengal with BD and Nepal; Indian Punjab with Pakistani Punjab; Manipur, Ngalaland with Myanmar, Arunachal with Tibet etc.

 

[Jackdaws]

Oh - but Jinnah was a Gujarati. Incidentally, so was Mahatma Gandhi and so is Narendra Modi. LOL - and your beloved Zulfi Bhutto's mom was Hindu. Funny then, that both your Quaid-e-Azam and Quaid-e-Awam are more Indian than Pakistani.

Man, whats your problem? the new pakistani generation don't view themselves the same as indians. we don't look like you, we don't smell like you, we have a different religion ect....it's just simple. we are talking about modern-day....not history

 

[nForce]

Many similarities were indeed there before partition.But,as time passes,the similarities are growing lesser and lesser.

Still we have some similarities like language,food,the way we dress looks,etc etc...But our way of thinking,our national policies,agenda,society and economy is way different as of now and the divide is growing day by day at a rate higher than ever......

i'm speaking from my real life experiance.

 

[parasite]

We were completely different even before the partition, that is why partition took place in the 1st place.

Except religion other factors were not potent enough to divide British India....you are majority muslim.........and we are majority Hindu...that is the most basic difference....

Are you not an Indian????

 

[parasite]

You mean Pakistan and India are the same despite the obvious difference in how the people look?

you can find all kinds of looks among Indians....

Jinnah's grandfather was a convert to Islam...so I guess within one generation Jinnah decided he was different from the "other" Hindus when generations of his family were Hindus.Also ironic that Jinnah's direct descendent's are now Parsis.

No offense but I never understood the separate nation concept when it came from Jinnah because of his family history.
