Re: Do you hate Indians/Pakistanis?
Nationalism can be a very ugly thing.
I have noticed something,perhaps im wrong. But you simply dont see this level of vitriol in Pakistan towards India, and I certainly dont see this degree of nationalism among Pakistanis.
If there is any benefit garnered out of years of economic stagnation in Pakistan, its that the Pakistanis have become completely disenchanted with the very concept of Nationalism. Indians on the other hand, after 20 years have of growth have becoming extremely nationlistic, and this often manifests itself on occasions like the World cup.
Ofcourse this is a generalization, and not all Indians are like this, but you certainly see this gushing nationalistic pride in most Indians you meet. Cant blame them, but it can take an ugly turn as you mentioned above.
Pakistanis I think were depressed after the World Cup, but it didnt last long. They quickly reverted to being depressed about other things…
