I started studying Indo-Pak history and culture, I'm learning process and my conclusions are thus no way fully developed but I have one observation, there are two groups one claims that both countries have same culture and goes with a long list while the other maintains they are totally different. But I find the truth lies somewhere in between these two extremities. You both have some common things and some differences. As I know people can understand each other using Urdu and Hindi..right? Similarly many foods are also same, some customs and traditions, you play same sports, to some extent dressing also. However the differences are largely motivated by the religions, Hinduism and Islam, so though even similar foods but there is difference that a practicing Hindu won't eat many food made of meat especially cow, similarly the requirement of hijab for Muslim women makes a huge difference in the they dress and carry themselves, names are different, and since Hinduism is more relaxed on moral values thus certain things are taken very lightly by Hindus as compared to Muslims. Though India also has a large population of Muslims but the dominant culture is of the majority while Pakistan also has a large population of Hindus but the dominant culture is Islam....Similar to difference between Singapore and Malaysia, but we coexist more peacefully.
Thus banning each other's material makes sense, however both nations need to find what should be allowed and what should not. Total cut off may not help either.
Agreed
that's what I find in my research/study too.
