Re: Saudi men banned from marrying Pakistanis
Not into politics myself but i came across the word on Pakistani affars and i had no idea of the meaning so i made a thread on culture forum. Hanood is the Arabic word for Hindu. Phoenixdesi said he heard it being used in Pakistan together with Yahood which means Jews. In my comment the Hanood majority country is Nepal, which is a Hindu majority country, which, unlike Saudi Arabia, has visa on entry policy for Pakistanis.
I don’t think most ordinary people use it. Probably only the ones who want to sell some message.

only recently, i commented on the hatred that we have cultivated against* “hanood wa yahood”…**..those who are born and raised in Pakistan know what i mean…let me add qadyanis to this list as well. the amount of nafrat our masses have for qadyanis is just toxic…poor qadyanis simply hide their identities.
obviously there is something terribly wrong within our societal behavior as well as constitutional framework (aka blasphemy laws for example ) that first needs to be openly admitted and then aimed to be corrected.*
