Re: Pakistani film Bin Roye banned in India
But... I feel bad yar.... They just dont stop... seeeeeee .. seems like op has devoted his life to India bashing thread... I live in India and have never heard anyone say anything against pakistan.. and I used to be such a believer of unity ...and felt that pakistanis feel the same way.. newspapers are filled with love for pak.. books ..texts just filled with pain of separation and well it seems thats all theory..but ......yha toh as I said "Imarat ki chulein hil gyi"
When It strikes to me that I am talking to one percent most educated , learned, sensible people of pakisatan who have access to all the resources..and still they choose to believe that India has always hurted them on purpose(or whatever they choose to ).. so its dreadful to think how the minds of rest 99% works.. when they have someone else to blame for all their problems...
Maybe Indians are trolls and idiots too but I havent been anywhere apart from this.. so I dont know..but..
patriotism is one thing.. and just blaming someone else is totally other.. I mean feel like I am a one sided lover.....
khair hai chalo...
logic chodein...
You dont need to reply to this..... it just wanted to come out...
Dont feel bad yaar. Ive not read this whole thread or all the threads out there yoh mention. I do know GS has lot of awesome pakistanis and the sid plus other mods have always been friendly to me. Trolls of both sides exist in different amounts on different forum.
If you want to feel like a bilateral sided lover then spread your love on other threads and sites. Branch out. If you are getting disillusioned or feeling like you are hitting a wall on a thread/site then explore more. You can still be active on all places. I have made some awesome Pakistani friends on quora. 2 from lahore and 1 from faisalabad who have invited me over. I made minimum 1 api from islamabad and 1 bro from karachi on gs who i stay in contact with outside the group.
Then i have made many kind hearted awesome pakistani friends who live in pakistan..on select secret indo pak friendship groups on fb. Some who call me didi, api and who have become my bhainas, kashra khors and nandro bhaas from peshawar, hangu, gujranwala, karachi, sindh and bahwalpur. They've been inviting me over for ages. They are awesome and will restore your faith in indo pak friendships. If we meet trolls on fb they defend me and i defend them.
Trust me i thought my love and affection may not be reciprocated but it was 10 fold. Ive found the love and friendship i give to friends ive made residing in pakistan is reciprocated just as much. Distance and borders dont stop us. I send them bday videos, photos and eid mubarak videos. Some commented that it doesnt seem like i am a stranger but main unke apni hi hoon. If only people who have similar backgrounds can get along with each other why are there so many fights/issues/arguments within families. Families are people we are born with..they are not chosen by temperament. I have come to value my indo pak online family over past yr. They've been with me through tears and hard times. I will be with them also. So if youre looking for good pakistani female friendships its not hard. Just have to know where to look and i can help. Its great ive got to know them..they are all friendly, big hearted and not judgemental. I think you are in same age group and since yoy are from rajasthan you could be very helpful. One of my pakistani friends had some family pre-partition from rajasthan so ur knowledge can be useful.
One of my closest friends here in aus is a girl with family from karachi. Ive made friends with another who is older than me and kind of like my api. Her whole family is from islamabad and i live away from family. When my family brings food i share with her when she has night shift. I ask for her fav sweets from my parents so i can share with her. I also share my love for shan masala and roohafza with her. Thats how a genuine indo pak friendship should be..but i feel many who see stereotypes not people miss out on both sides. Har kisi ko nahi milta yahan aisi indo pak dosti zindagi mein..khush naseeb hain hum jin ko hai mili yeh bahar zindagi mein. And my friends arent all from some elite group quite a few are from conservative middle class groups. Some quite religious. It doesnt impact our friendship.
Thing is with all india or pak forums you'll always get some people who are very nationalist and see you as different. Most will see you as individuals. The mods do well here to reign in those elements. I think its hilarious that some nationalistic indians online and its only ever online think im anti india because i like some pakistani things more than indian like dramas. Most appreciate my knowledge on pakistan. Then there are some pakistanis who think i am brainwashing with my talk on bollywood and call me anti pak because somehow by showing similarities i am diluting 2 nation theory. That doesnt make sense.Most of my online pakistani friends dont think this and appreciate that i like pakistani dramas.
You probably also need to diversify your Pakistani friendship base. Instead of aiming for Pakistani friends abroad or in big cities try to make friends from relatively smaller cities like Gujanwala, Hangu, Noshera, Hyderabad, Bahawalpur and Faisalabad (which is actually 3rd largest city).
