Is this emphasis and stereotyping of step relationships a property of Indo-Pak culture?
Hearing about love and sacrifice by Abbas (RA) for Hussain (RA) says that it was not followed in at-least Arab culture. Even when we read about the Prophet’s (SAW) relationship with his uncles and aunts, it seems that these step relationships were not considered negative.
Probably Indo-Pak culture was also tolerant for such relationship and it become hostile at a point of time.
Any thoughts?

Siblings argue...sagay ones as well as sautele ones.
More than one wife(consequently step siblings) was a phenomenon widely accepted in the arab world, but not in the rest of the world. So there would be less hostility towards wht you accept compared to what you don't accept.

May be. But even in Mahabharata and Ramayan's era Indian culture witnessed such step relationships. I think Lakshmana (who accompanied Rama during his exile) was Rama's step brother.

in those days when the families had more abundant resources and bigger joint families had lesser ambitions and lesser needs and more than one wife wasn't a taboo, they were OK living together in harmony but when these trends were reversed, they became more hostile to each other and this living together led to jealousy and acts of discrimination and cruelty.

so this is one more example where economics play its role to create division.

Or maybe possessiveness. People weren't as possessive back then. They are more posessive now, and a step sibling means their dad is shared with someone other than their mum. So you dislike the step mum and eventually dislike the step siblings.
