Re: Height of hatred in Indians towards Pakistanis..
I have no loyalties towards India. I merely state what I have seen.
Your suggestion that I’ve played CNN to keep my loyalties is an example of how an opinion is quashed by implicating bias where none exists. We are so blinded by perceived threats that we don’t even want to hear opinions that might prove our own to be misguided.
I have family ties to both India and Pakistan so maybe I am exposed to opinions from both sides and can more easily see the disparity.
Let me give you an example…
my bhabhi’s family hails from punjab in India…her mother proudly tells us of '71 when Pakistani fighter jets would run missions over northern India.
she tells with tears in her eyes how her whole community would pray that they could be successful in their mission and return to safety across the border without harm.
I have met many, many Indian people of differing backgrounds and faiths and it is very, very rare that anyone has ever expressed any anti-Pakistani or anti-Muslim sentiment. I wish I could say the same for Pakistanis. It takes a very tiny pro-Indian comment in any Pakistani gathering to launch a full scale anti-India verbal attack with emotions at full flare. I find that sad. Don’t you?
