You valid point but as I explained it is a crossover. No province in Pakistan had saree as it's regional dress. Not even Sindh. My assumption is in the formative years the army only took in females doctors/nurses. And with literacy rate in Pakistan being extremely low the only body of educated females was from the Indian migrants who came from urban areas. They of course used the saree and it stuck. Somewhat like we have Scottish bagpipers in Pakistan Army dressed as Scotish Highlanders.It doesn't prove anything. But it's wrong to say that it's a cross-over from India in 1947. Do you realize the significance of the post this lady is holding? She is an army general NOT some model or actress. Why isn't she wearing salwar kameez? Air hostesses wear salwar kameez. Why not army generals?
That is a very, very convenient catch all. Contrived and self serving. You had a war in Sri Lanka between these 'civilizational buddies'*. Taken that way we are all civilizational human beings. It all depends which common denominator you use. I would proffer Sikhs are not leaving that asides you have Muslims and Christians to contend. And then if you use the ethnic cleaveage you have Dravidian. Austro-Aborginal, Indo-Aryan, Tibeto-Burmans etc.ALL essentially civilizational Hindus.
And in Pakistan we are all "civilizational Muslims" or nearly 98%. That is far more homogenous entity then you ever will be. We only have ethinc and even then it is broadly just four. India on the other hand can be sliced, diced until the knife goes blunt.
*Nepal
*Sri Lanka
*Bali
*etc
Ps. The Sikhs are civilizational buddies but Nepali Hindus, Sri Lankan Hindu/Bhuddist, Bali Hindu, Burman Bhuddist are out are they? Divorced??
