what Mr. tassavur has said hold true only in imagination. Love for one identity usually does come form imagination than any other thing. Its like being a askenazic, yemenite, Iranian jew. They are hardly one race now, but exist as a people-- as a jew --only because of imagination imbedded. Or being an Arab, whether ones from sudan or lebabnon or egypt or Iraq.
If you want to go by actual historical facts, and would like to discuss with me, than by no stretch are pakistanis indians Or pakistani territory indian territory.
I leave that upto you. If you feel indian, I guess thats what you are.
Most people who are not religious are the ones who hold nationalistic sentiments. Its amazing to see them change their winds when the actual repercursions of their priciples would manifest in reality.

I agree with NA, most of the Iranian or middle eastern food I have eaten is quite bland although I like their bread. Use of Spices is very Indian.
