Re: Question...
It matters to people because whether we admit it or not we all have a natural affinity for the country in which we were born or grew up. I can't deny that I am biased towards Pakistan.
My husband's family is mainly from India and this issue often raises its ugly head in discussions. I have learned to bite my tongue and just let it pass.
I have also learned that there are many good things about India that we might never see in Pakistan. Does that make India better? Does it change the love I have in my heart for Pakistan? Nope.
Will I invite trouble/arguments in my household for this reason? No way.
