Re: Pakistani Muslims vs Indian Muslims…
Aaah. Well it could be because of visa issues. Like my husband and I have been married 16 years, he’s a US citizen but was born in Pakistan and because of that, he’s never been able to get a visa to India. Don’t get me started on this. It’s ridiculous. But, as a result, he’s never met my extended family (my immediate family has all come here several times). Maybe she’s worried about logistics like that.
Now if she’s grown up in a small town in say the southern part of India where she can only speak the native language and culturally very different from the North Indians, then maybe she’s worried about the big difference in language/culture that could arise.
Or, maybe she had a bad experience with one non-Indian muslim and is stereotyping.
Here I am, an Indian married to a Pakistani. I have no issues whatsoever (even during cricket matches). We have far more serious issues over iphones and Androids :D.
From what I hear but don’t quote me on it. If a Pakistani applies for Indian visa on their Pakistani passport from Pakistan they have greater chance of getting the visa instead of from America on their American Passport.
