I respect his viewpoint but i just don’t agree with it. Everyone is free to their views. You are free to yours as well. I just noted it was interesting to read someone having similar views. I agree the guy was drunk and doing extortion so that probably what caused him to get charged. What his intentions were i don’t know.** I don’t think an ordinary person on the road saying pakistan zindabad would be taken away for sedition. **
I mentioned 26/11 because so much has happened in the country since then that it seems like a distant memory and so much wrong has happened especially with security.

Wow that’s awesome that you’ve been to Pakistan. I’m so jealous right now Must be interesting to have Sindhi roots. I don’t have any relatives or roots there so I have no idea how it is like to visit on a personal level. I don’t know if i’d be able to visit. How is the yatra like? I’ve always been fascinated by Hinglaj Mata and the other peeths. Just from reading and looking online at various articles plus talking to Indian friends, online Indian friends, relatives in India i didn’t feel that they hated the common person..sure policies have been something people dislike on both ends. I think some people dislike policies but i don’t think anti-Pakistani sentiment in India is overwhelmingly higher than anti-Indian sentiment. It’d be the same. Once this terrorism issue is sorted out in both countries things will be better. Not sure how such a comparison can be made about sentiments anyway. I know in our elections since 2008 its made an issue but otherwise it’s not. Then again government is not the only marker of people’s sentiments. Education, health system etc count as well. we do have Pakistani studies in India and the Pakistani student who came to India said he did not face discrimination on nationality in his time here. That for me says something

So having visited Pakistan as an Indian how did you find sentiments? Especially during the yatra? Did sentiments change those 3 times? Did many Indians visit with you from different religious backgrounds and how did they find it?

      If a person in India  standing on a road and chanting pro Iran statements or Pro Iraq statement,either people would think he is an insane,or people would pay little attention or people will flock around him out of curiosity.But a person chants a pro Pakistan slogan in public,I do not think he/she will be spared or can get away that freely.It is the same in Pakistan aswell.A Pakistani chanting pro Nepalese or pro SriLankan slogans will be spared but a pro Indian mans,something different will follow.

It is just because of the fact that both the nations are seeing each other with an eye of suspicion.
