What nationality was your family before August 1947?

[Indus Pakistan]

Voted Indian.

How can that be? India did not exist. I assume it was British Raj your talking about. A nationality can't exist without a nation state. At best you can have a ethnic group etc.

The man born into slavery had by the time of his death freed millions and millions of Musalmans.

So he left all the millions of Christians, Sikhs, Hindus, Parsee etc in slavery in Pakistan?

Well, if we look at when the Indian Air Force was founded, it is on 8 October 1932. The Britishers were ruling then.

Indian Air Force was founded, it is on 8 October 1932.

Very funny. So the IAF was formed before Indian Republic came into existence? And stop playing nursey gamnes. You know on the 8th October 1932 the airforce established by gora sahibs.

The Indian Air Force was established in British India as an auxiliary air force[1] of the Royal Air Force with the enactment of the Indian Air Force Act 1932 on 8 October that year[2][3] and adopted the Royal Air Force uniforms, badges, brevets and insignia.[4]

Things you need to note -

• It was merely a adjunct of RAF.
• It had RAF insignia etc
• The RIAF was succeded and shared out with IAF and PAF in 1947.

Talking of nursery games did you know Pakistan was formed in 16th century in Uzbekistan?

Out of all territories listed, Pakistan is closest culturally and civilizational-wise to Aden, Yemen.

Interestingly enough, Yemenis are very proud of their unique culture which has heavy Pakistani influence (over thousands of years.) Shawls of Yemenis are mostly from Pakistan, women (and lesser extent men) can be found wearing shalwar kameez/ firaaq/ jewelry/scarves, food and tea drinking culture also very close to Pakistanis.

Even today, Yemenis go crazy for Pakistani fashion, as they wear it in their own country as well.

The same can also be said for Oman, maybe moreso due to the Baloch element there.

Omani/Baloch/Yemen/Swahili are very much inter-tied in terms of culture, traditions. So no surprise if you find similarities.

Omani/Baloch/Yemen/Swahili are very much inter-tied in terms of culture, traditions. So no surprise if you find similarities.

Interestly enough, even Khaleej/Gulf culture from UAE all the way up to Basra in Iraq had heavily influence of Sindhi culture.

One of the important stories of Alif Laila wa Laila (1001 nights) is about a Sindh-abadi (person from Sindh) telling the stories of his sea voyages to another Sindh-abadi. This was due to the prevalence of Sindhi sailors, shipmen, and portmen at the time.
