So in India and Pakistan our brides and traditions are very unique and different. Please share your wedding traditions. In our family we have a separate function called Sehra bandi where everyone gives dulha money necklaces or haars and after that everyone eats dinner. One more paisay kaa kharcha function My chacha (chichoray) made dollar garlands on his wedding and my daadi and phoopi and some other people used dollar garlands. But all in all it was a good event.
Now share some of your wedding traditions from my side more to come.
I hate these money necklace tradition… pholon ke haar were best and aesthetic thing..
I don’t know the logic, but they dispose of mehndi from brdie’s / groom’s hands in river water. Thinking about wastage of rice, the bride throw at her back while leaving her maika..
*"I think all these are hindu traditions and we shouldn't be spending or wasting money on these traditions"
*Do you think all Muslims have to dress, act & behave like Arabs? Even take up their history as theirs.
If that was the case, than all the Christians (even the Sweepers in Pakistan) should act and behave like the British rulers of India, and claim the history of the British Empire as theirs)
The reality is most Pakistani's ancestors were Hindu.
You should be proud of your ancestors, traditions, history, heritage and culture.
Pakistani is not a ethnicity, its a nationality, Pakistani People come from all sorts of different backgrounds, but to say most of the ancestors are hindu is completely wrong, i dont know where u read that, yes few muhajirs and kashmiris were actually converts from hinduism, but certainly not the rest of Pakistanis.read the history of pashtun, sindhi, balochi and seraiki, they all come from muslim backgrounds, mixture of arabs, persian,turks, afghans or moguals.
pal.. balochis and pashtuns may be iranic people, but the rest of pakistanis are pretty much all indic. punjabis (including saraiki, pahari/potohari, even hindko speakers) were hindus, still cling on to the castes as hindus and sikhs of these cultures even 500-1000 years after converting to islam. same goes for sindhis. and until 60 years ago these people lived alongside the native hindus of these cultures. it is a pity that you don’t even realize this, and try to invent some other past for your land with shizz like “muslim backgrounds, mixture of arabs, persian,turks, afghans or moguals”.
do you really think punjabis and sindhis are new to their lands, and haven’t lived there for at least the past 2000 years? arabs are from arabia, persians are from persia, turks and mongols are from central asia, but punjabis and sindhis are a mix of all these and not from punjab or sindh?

Lol sure...
I would like Muqawwee to shed some light on this :)
Rangoli, ancestors of people living in Pakistan were non- Muslims. The point is some converted to Islam as early as Arab conquest of Sindh and some centuries after that. These conquerors form Arab or North were conquered by the beautify of this land and its tradition and they get married in local people.. so there are majority of people, whose ancestors were non-Muslims and there are people who came from other regions and become part of this land.
IMO traditions are related to culture of a society and not religion and religion also doesn't say not to follow good traditions of a society. So its on someone's judgement to follow or not to follow a particular tradition, if he/she consider it against the religion.

Hmmm...tht does makes sense. I was looking it from the point of view that im a sindhi syed muslim.as u guys know syed are the direct decendant of Prophet Muhammad saw. Hence.my ancestors have always been Muslims.. But yes.like you said as for the others some did convert at some point ancestors were not muslims.some must hav converted from christianity.judism or hinduism.thanks muqawwee for making things clear.i was just looking at it from one perspective
