First of all this is not political discussion forum and neither I want that we use same tone here. My comment regarding bollywood was general and it is common trend nowadays that anyone saying something good about India is tagged as bollywood mesmerized.

I know there are issues between both the countries and allegations from both sides to fund terrorism in each other’s countries. My point was avoiding generalisation. I can bring more incidents from Pakistan that include violent deaths on sectarian basis and how we treated our minorities under every regime (Each and every regime, not only under scapegoat Zia), but still we defend Pakistanis against terming as fascist nation.

What is being happened India under Modi government is definitely condemnable and there exist voices against such actions in India itself. Till such voices exist in any society, I don’t find any justification to term whole society / country as fascist.

There are sectarian issues in Pakistan, you won’t find anyone here denying them. Very sad and unacceptable. It’s a simple fact though that they’re not at the level you’re making them out to be, nor are they politically motivated.

You say this isn’t a political discussion but it very much is. The whole premise of this thread is political based. Indian policies ARE getting increasingly fascist. Of course it’s not hard to see why, like I said before their current PM (who won by a landslide) is guilty of murdering thousands of Muslims. If the BNP got voted in the UK, would we not say racism is on the rise in the UK? How is this any different?

It IS a political discussion because if you were aware of India’s present day police with regards to Pakistan, their activities in Afghanistan against Pakistan, their activities in Karachi, their activities in Balochistan - it’s all anti-Pakistan and anti-Muslim. Their media, their national security advisor, their defence minister - all anti-Pakistan.
The protests against the cricket today are just another example of this. Still, how dare we question amazing secular India.

Incidents such as the one in the original post are just a reflection of this. The level of panic and fear amongst their general public with regards to Pakistan is alarmingly high (and also hilarious) for no reason.

I’d also like to make it clear once more that I don’t hate Indians, far from it. I’m friends with many Indians, I meet them everyday. We help each other out. It doesn’t detract from anything I’ve said above though.
