Right, we got these traditions from Arabs, a population that actually never ruled the subcontinent, or lived on it much.

Let’s get real. A lot of the backwards crap that goes on in Pakistan is deeply rooted to traditions dating back to pre-Islamic traditions. And who was on that land before muslims? You got it baby.

True it is that as well. I just wanted to say that Arabs and Africans have such things happen in their culture which may be influenced by their pre-Islamic and tribal cultures also.
Subcontinental history and traditions are exotic mixture of what you mention as well as persian, arabic, greek and buddhist influences (i.e. Buddhist monuments in Taxila). May not have been there too long but all these cultures left their mark. So let’s share the blame equally and blame all those pre-Islamic cultures as well Just my view.

Pakistan, like all desi countries, may have some backwards pre Islamic culture but it also has rich culture like that of the Kalash tribal people unique to the area. They are fascinating.
