For my own sanity, and to make sure I wasn’t imagining things, I dug up a not so old thread from 2014 about “Turn Offs” and without any provocation or reason, Hyderabadis/Indians/Mumbai walay girls were the top “deal breaker” for marriage by you guessed it…**Punjabis. **Apparently the Hyderabadi dialect and the mere fact that the girl is of Indian descent is a bad thing and throws an otherwise decent girl out of the running. That’s not ethnic bias? The amount of likes and quotes and agreement and snubbing was very telling. It goes both ways.

Btw, the guppan who made that preference known is a decent fellow who I otherwise like very much..I would never throw out racist labels on him. It’s his or anybody else’s preference.

Let’s just not pretend that Urdu speaking/Muhajjirs/Indians and espeicially Hyderabadis don’t get there fair share of prejudice/stereotyping/alienation on this forum because it’s quite common.

why do you always pick on punjabis, my mom’s friend who is urdu speaking told my mom that she wouldn’t want her daughter to marry a hyderabadi guy because of their complexion and accent. is this right? personally no but thats her preference. After opening this thread, I have learned a lot of urdu speaking and punjabis don’t want to marry hyderabadis and a lot of indian hyderabadis don’t want to marry into pakistanis (urdu speaking or punjabi speaking)
