I thought as much, but what baffles me is that if an un-initiated like me knows as much, the religious fraternity in India would know much more about the 11th avatar than me, it is sacrilege, desecration and yet no a single voice from the religious group? strange. As for the similarities still trying to figure out if both of the graphics have somehow been influenced by each other at any point in time like the case of Barnabis version of bible.
India is full of hypocrisies in the name of religion. So none of this surprises us Indians.
We have many cases of religious and spiritual "saints" raping females visiting them for spiritual blessings or whatever.
There are many religious cults in India that act as fronts for money laundering and human trafficking.
You should check the website for online visa option. Its pretty easy now.
I am sure when I submit the application, they will want a full-page scanned PDF of my Singaporean passport where in the particular section, the place of birth clearly mentions "India." Either an Instant rejection or a further referral to the Pakistani Embassy.
Don't mind: I definitely have it a lot better than with my previous Indian passport. But both countries impose restrictions on the people born in either country, even if they took overseas citizenship. In fact, India goes a step further and UK-born Pakistanis (2nd generation) can't benefit from India's own VoA regimen. They have to apply for a visa at the Indian embassy, although it's a lot easier for them than someone with a Pakistani passport.
It's the background verification which is a make or break deal. And I do have a few problems in my background which the Pakistani embassy staff will straightaway flag for suspicion. I still have strong ties to the old country.
I want to go through a proper channel - let me consult a staff member at the Pakistani embassy and review my options. Also let me hear from any Indians who have overseas citizenship (and a PIO card) - what options they have if they wish to travel to Pakistan.
Come what may, I will be excited to visit next year itself when I'll be visiting India for 2-3 months. Maybe I'd like to hop on the Wagah bus as that's the best way to see Pakistan. Also, I don't want to be restricted to Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad...I would really like to visit places like Jhelum (and there are restrictions for Indian origin people).
In fact, one major reason I joined this forum was to get ideas on travel options to Pakistan. But all the damned politics between the two countries have side-tracked my purpose of this forum.
