Compare an average Pakistani in Punjab to a Punjabi in India… Minus the religion, and the nationalities, and what remains? there are many populations in Pakistan with a counterpart in India, with the only difference being relgion.
Pakistanis are very similar to North Western Indians. The Kashmiris even more so as they have been far more connected to the people of Pakistan then India.
We share a common relgion, a common history, common or similar language.
By all rational, Kashmiris are far more like Pak then India. Its should have naturally been Pakistans fifth province.
