What does namak haram mean?
PAKISTANI PEOPLE VIEW POINT
"Un Appreciative Person , who does not appreciates a Man who tried to help someone"
Many folks in Pakistan feel Afghanistan owes them something because they housed afghan Refugees for 40 years
When typically the Afghans do not appreciate the sacrifices Pakistan made to house the illegal immigrants, it gives this notion of "Namak Haram" one who do not appreciate the kindness shown by People of Pakistani People
While a Majority of Pakistani do not want anything in return small demographics feel , some humbleness or recognition should be present in Afghan for showing appreciation for People of Pakistan for housing their immigrant for 40 years
When we see scenes such as Afghan Hooligans beating up Pakistani in stadium the common view point is people bring up the "Namak Haram" statement to imply Afghans are unappreciative bunch
While there is not anything racist about Claim by Pakistani People but it is more or less a regret that Afghani people (minority who act as hooligans) are blinded by their hooliganism
