[Zibago]

what answer ?

The answer to your edited question
Both Amritsar and Lahore had equal number of Muslims and Non Muslims before partition(muslims were the largest group in both cities) and in a few months all Muslims from Amritsar migrated to Pakistan and Hindus and Sikhs of Lahore migrated to India
Even Nawaz Sharif is originally from Amritsar(though his grandfather migrated from Shopian in Kashmir during the great famine of Kashmir)

I have Christian friends and never heard them saying anything about leaving Pakistan least of it for India.

Ok, so beef is ban. Why is it ban for non Hindus, dear sunshine? It is your religious belief not theirs. Hindus are imposing their religion on others? So much for tolerance. If you hurt you guys so much, why every Indian just wants to shift to US where they cut cows in pieces and chomp them everywhere? Why no hurt in religious sentiments then?

Difference between Pakistan and India is that you guys as a nation suffocate minorities and their religious freedom while in Pakistan few nut cases do it on individual level. As a state and its law, Pakistan allows its minorities to eat and drink as their religion allows them to. Same can not be said about India.

Donno which part of Pakistan do you live in, but Hindus,sikhs,Ahmadiyas are coming in droves everyday and seeking asylum in India.

Because the rule was included in our Constitution,which has to be followed and respected by all.
That is very funny you talk of imposing religion on others when you come from a Islamic country where Blasphemy laws are present and punishable by death.
Indians go to USA for business and those who live there are its Citizens not Indian Citizens.What other nations do around the world is not a concern for us, but in our home and our Country these are the rules,they have to follow.
These rules were accepted by all Minority groups when the Constitution was formed during Partition.They can't be changed because some Muslim wants to eat beef .Let him go out of country and eat in another nation as much as he wants.
"our country our rules"

India maybe only country in the world to legitimize suppression of minorities at official level. I don't see what is to be proud about it.

Where is the suppression of minorities? The rules are clear No cow slaughter and we ask them not to eat Beef which might hurt the sentiments of Majority population which revere the cow,while there is no religious compulsion in Islam to eat cow or beef,while Hindus have a religious compulsion to stop Cow slaughter in their country..If they cannot abide by the rules its not our problem but theirs.
You can't live in a 83% Hindu Majority country and want Sharia rule implemented there,This is the same case where Muslims who migrate to EU,USA, and other western nations and demand Sharia law and Halaal certification of every food.What is the need for other countries to oblige and Change their rules to placate a Minority when those rules and wishes blatantly insult the conscience and sensitivities of Majority?

Do the math buddy. There simply can't have been a 1000 year rule. The Mughal Empire lasted from 1526-1857. And even before 1857 the Mughals were nominal rulers as the prevalent force in India was the Marathas then. 300 years at best.

Yeah this the stupidity hardwired into your minds that you are considering the Mughal Empire only while there were dozens of Muslim dynasties that preceded them. Muhammad Bin Qasim (May his soul rest in peace) attacked and conquered Deebal by defeating 200,000 strong force of Raja Dahir with his 17000 men.

Lahore was a Hindu city that has disappeared, says Dr. Tarek Fatah
December 2, 2015 India,Top Stories0 Comments

New Delhi: Canadian author and journalist of Pakistan origin Dr. Tarek Fatah has expressed the view that the plight of minority communities in Pakistan can best be described as abysmal, if not non-existent.

In an exclusive interview given to ANI, Dr.Fatah, when asked to comment on reports of frequent attacks being launched on minorities in Pakistan, said, “There is no Hindu living in Lahore. This ( Lahore) was a Hindu city which has disappeared. What happened? It is like Mecca not having any Muslims.”

When a reference was made to a recent attack on an Ahmadiya mosque in Pakistan, Dr. Fatah was extremely and scathingly critical of the community, squarely blaming them for the partition of the Indian subcontinent in 1947.

He said, “As far as the Ahmadiyas are concerned and any other minorities in Pakistan are concerned, there is something called Karma. This is a community that worked to break up India. The first non-state Jihadi group that attacked Hindus in 1947 in the Kashmir War. They launched that Jihad. They fought to create Pakistan, and as long as the Ahmadiya does not admit that they made a major mistake by betraying India which was their homeland, they will continue to be prosecuted.”

“The same is happening with the Shias, the Muslims of Lucknow, the same thing has happened with the Islami Muslims. They thought that they would create this (Pakistan) and would be able to place and play the game. It backfired, and Pakistan, is the lesson to everyone as to what not to do. But have Muslims learnt a lesson?. I do not think so. They live in concealed and concentrated areas, they want to segregate themselves. The women are more separate now from non-Muslim than other women than at any time in Indian history. It is very difficult to see or say who is a Muslim woman and who is not a Muslim woman. Today, you can only tell them apart when they appear in more and more in burquas,” he added. (ANI)

Yes it is, its ancient name is "Loh-awar" or The Fort of Loh, that is the eldest son of lord Rama.
There is also an empty temple dedicated to Lav/Loh in Lahore fort.

You realize these were not empires - they were looking small and local kingdoms. There were 500 odd princely states even in 1947 - with rulers who were either Hindu or Muslim or Sikh nobility. If you weren't educated in a madrassa and went to a real school you would know the difference.

Lahore is a beautiful city and Pakistani's are very proud of it.

We do not need to have it back.

 

[Battle Axe]

Really poor spin doctoring. Lahore was never even 25% Hindu inhabited.

 

[vayuputhra]

Sad fate for Hindus in Pakistan, its daily insult, genocide, ethnic cleansing , of Pakistani Hindus has been going on relentlessly, they opted for Pakistan and look what have they got, just nothing other than insult and injustice, may god save them, a city which was founded by lord RAMS son LAVA is now ruled by you know who, the population of Hindus in Pakistan during Pakistan's independence was 17% and now its 2% so a govt designed ethnic cleansing is going on, the fate of Hindus is worst than Jews in Nazi Germany, god save those poor people

1) Wherein Koran does it say Muslims should eat BEEF? Show me!
2) For Hindus it is a Religious Duty to protect Cows(which act as substitute for a Mothers Milk for a Newborn Infant whose mother cannot induce lactation to suckle her kid?),How hard is that to get into your brain? That is why we Respect Cow Since eternity.So we will be naturally be pissed off at BEEF being consumed.We didn't ask you to stop eating Pork,chicken,Mutton,Fish or other meats. All we ask is just respect our Sentiments, otherwise, there is going to be a major over spill. Which Nobody can control!

3) Madam, if( you are a female that is) You should tell me how are NON-MUSLIMS(Pagans)(not the Ahl-e-Kitaba) people are treated and etc...

Wherein Quran does it say ear beef ?
Are you serious ??

Cow ain't shit but a food source to us and I don't give a phuck if it's your mother grand mother or your auntie .same way when I kill a rat or snake I don't give a phuck if it's your God as to me it's dirty vermin that need to be killed
