I’ve noticed that many Indians on the net know whole a lot about Pakistan politics and history of politics etc. Even I don’t know that much about Pakistani affairs as much as the Indians seem to know.
On the other hand I don’t find as many Pakistanis knowing much about or as in depth about Indian affairs/Politics. Is there a particular reason behind it? Why such an unbalanced interest in each other’s politics across the borders? Or I’m mistaken?

funda kya hain ki in india there are so many political parties that even we get confused sometimes:bummer: .
every state has many stupid regional parties.
In pakistan there are handful of parties only so its easy to remember.

romanov,
indian politics, like indians, is bland and boring (if you exclude bihar). pakistani politics is very macho, like a kabaddi match. every day is action-packed.
Re: A question for our Indian friends & foes on GS
No it can’t be THAT simple! There are thousand places on earth with boring politics. Do you guys think it’s 'cause we’re good looking + exciting politics? :halo:
Re: A question for our Indian friends & foes on GS
ah yes, one more came to add to the likes of mercenery types of indians hate/ obsessing more than pakis hating/obsessed about indians thingy. In pakistan affairs section, only one indian talks/speaks. his nick is ‘aalsi’. No other indian goes and speaks. in world affairs, whenever india comes up, you count how many pakis will be there.
and i suggest all indians to know more about pakistani internal matters. there is a looooooooot to know ;). we can use them some time ;).

Many Indians have family in Pakistan. Many had family in the past. These days there is a very sensible rapprochement between both countries and that is why some Indians are interested in looking across their borders. My mother was born in Pakistan and went to school in Karachi - she married my father who was a medical student in the USA and then came to India in the days when it was possible to do this. These days it is impossible.
As a matter of fact, this is why I signed up here - to try to learn more about the country where my mother was born and lived the first sixteen years or so of her life. I have also been trying to trace other friends of my mother's family, many of whom are old through some Pakistani newspapers.
Not all Indians are Pakistan hating fanatics - there are idiots and good people everywhere.
Re: A question for our Indian friends & foes on GS
moonh nuchaayi of Pakistani politics is better than any drama Bollywood can produce hence the fascination of our Indian friends. I know Indians are sick and tired of leeches and poens aka lawyers and judges of their society. Poor people can't do anything about it. They vicariously lived out their ultimate fantasy when they saw Pakistani lawyers and judges (peons and leeches) getting an amazing chitrole on nightly news. They cheered, they clapped, they danced in joy and wrapped themselves up in green and white Pakistani flag.
Welcome. Enjoy the show. Bring your own rooh-afza and lassi.

I read Dawn's online edition more often than I do Times Of India or Hindustan Times. But that's only because of Dawn's clutter free spartan HTML pages that presents matter-of-fact news. No pictures of models walking down the ramp, no mention of Team India/Men In Blue on Page 1, no trashy news with sexual innuendos etc etc..... But my favourite part of Dawn remains - "Letters to the Editor". Also, columns that compare Pak unfavourably with India gives me a high.

Brother, the simple fact of the matter is that we Pakistanis have a certain aura about us (thanks to the Almighty Allah). A country that is a mere 60 years old has come so far in such a short time. Allah has given us power, an identity (as Pakistani muslims), good looks ( ), a (generally) fiery personality, and style. As such, our good neighbors see this and can’t help but flock to our matters.
There has never been a dull moment in Pakistan’s history; be it wars, politics, sports, or education. True that not all has been positive but the point is, Pakistan since its inception has always remained in the worlds view.
Just look at something so relatively simple as our cricket team. There is hardly a cricket season where the Pakistani team isn’t making headlines about something or another: Our coach (may Allah grant him janat al firdaus), doping allegations, changes in captaincy, player fights etc. All these events have held and currently hold the public’s interest. I realize that this does not shed a positive light on Pakistan but again the point is, we’re an interesting and passionate country.
We our the only muslim country to be a nuclear powered nation; to me that is an amazing feat (By the grace of Allah).
We have one of the top universities in the world in Aga Khan University (known in some circles as the Harvard of the East).
So what Im saying here is that by the grace of Allah-rab-ul-izzat, we have been blessed with many things that our neighbors would envy and want to know about.
