What's It Like To Be An Indian In A Pakistani Cab In The U.S?

Been there done that. 5o make matter more confusing, cabbie said he was from hyderabad. Only hyderabad I knew back then was in India (he was from Sindh). But I think author is a bit over-reacting.

It is not bollywood. Pakistan is a big market for bollywood films. It is Indian media. Indian media are bit hyper when it comes to Pakistan.

Seriously for a nation that hates to be stereotyped in Hollywood you guys love to stereotype Pakistan in Bollywood. Agent Vinod was one of the funniest movies I ever saw, please do take me to the Pakistan he went to also ( I always wanted to go to other dimensions)

• Saif Ali Khan as Agent Vinod
• Kareena Kapoor as Iram Parveen Bilal/Ruby Mendes
• Adil Hussain as Colonel
• Ravi Kishan as Major Rajan
• Prem Chopra as David Kazaan
  big name big budget, not that many........

And honestly this is one of the very few I watched, and only because my friends claimed it was the funniest rendition of Pakistanis ever

For me, it's always been a pleasant experience.

This Pakistani guy at my office is an intern through AIESEC. One day this dude meet me and we went to eat lunch. After we had some talk about India Pakistan, he started to tell me about his political links and power bullshit. Then the topic moved from his mera baap koon hai to BEEF. He asked me what are the main "Real" reasons that we don't eat beef and to that I gave him SOP kind of replies and soon he sated describing multiple Pakistani beef dishes and said he cooks it here too and loves it. After, a minute I asked him when are you inviting me then to taste your super cool beef curry and to which he replied "Oh.. You eat beef ? " , "OK, but isn't it sin ?" "Ok. we can eat this weekend"...........

And after that encounter this dude never showed up and my BEEF is due....

Moral of the story : NOTHING

Hi .. I have a question why do you people think Pak is like your Hyderabad ?

Why do you think we all wear skull caps and have indian type beards and a Hyderabadi "Mian" accent?

Call eachother "Bhai jaan","biradar" etc .

Why do you think we are like you or for that matter like indian muslims?

Why do you think Pakhtuns have a wierd Arabic sort of accent.


Why do you think we have cresent and moon "jhandian" ?

Why do you think Green = Islamic?

What's up with other wierd stereotyping shit?

 

[JohnyD]

when I met Pakistani ppl in UK and in NL, I found them more related than the chinese ppl I had met around the same place....so yes, Indians mite have issues with Pakistan but not Pakistanis in specific...

 

[xyxmt]

Why should I have any issues with a Pakistani on a personally level? I see no reason why I cannot be friendly with a Pakistani. At least in other countries like US, I can identify myself with him, having come from the same region.

then why every Indian thinks Pakistani is about to kill him...lol
I had an Indian roommate, three Pakistanis and one Indian from Kerala, when he called his mom and told her about it she started screaming why you living with Pakistanis, they will kill you..move out today!

what do you mean 'you guys'. We dont finance bollywood. We just watch it. We have no hand in either demonizing or fetishizing pakistanis.

I was returning the favour stereotyping I thought you would have gotten that.. If you can stereotype a city in such weird ways and a nation to be exact in that way, of course it comes around to that
