When humans are born we are well natured. All our flaws are taught to us by society. Before we know identity we know only humanity.
Anyone who loses that basic humanity is not human anymore. If an Indian soldier dies in Kashmir I have no remorse for them, they were there to oppress my people. I can however empathise with the family who has lost a son/father/brother - that is normal.
There is a distinction between sympathy and empathy, but human beings should be able to aknowledge either at the loss of life. To feel apathy or even joy at such events is inhumane.
The reactions Pakistani's have had are both in our human nature, part of our culture and of course - what we are taught by our religion. Our Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) led many armies into battle and saw many victories, but there is no record of him expressing glee at the passing of an enemy. He is our example.
The Sufi poet Mian Muhammad Baskh wrote "dushman mare te khushi na kariye, sajna vi mar jana".

This forum is an odd place, it brings out the worst in people. It's not the forum per se, it's the anonomity of the internet, coupled with the subject matter and the reactions to triggers. A lot of people here are young, a lot of people here have ego problems, and it only takes a few instigators to cause trouble.
The internet has made the whole worlds information available to everyone. I suggest Indian members take some time to review how Pakistani media as a whole portrays India and how Indian media portrays Pakistan. The rhetoric of hate has seeped deep into your society, to a point where it is difficult to distinguish between extremist and mainstream views.
