Re: Why Do Pakistanis Reject their Indian heritage?
Thanks for the clarification! However, let’s not include Kashmir because of its disputed status.
I didn’t count the population of Kashmir in my calculations.
Punjabi is mostly spoken in East Punjab of India (different dialect/script from Pakistan’s Punjabi), and Sikhs are a majority in East Punjab. Hindus of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh voted Hindi as their mother-tongue in the 1951 census. Details: http://www.sikhspectrum.com/052004/ahluwalia_ms_3.htm
**Yes but their mother tongue is punjabi isn’t it? No wonder sikhs like to consider themselves the truest punjabis. Also, racially hindu and sikh punjabis are similar although Sikhs might be more jatts while hindus might be some other punjabi caste. **
These Jatts/Rajputs are a small minority in India whereas they are a majority in Pakistan. The differences between Pakistani Jatts/Rajputs and Indian Jatts/Rajputs are what I stated in my previous post. Btw, there are more than 21 million Sindhis in Pakistan.
**That’s what i mean. 50% of pakistanis share a heritage with 10% of Indians but people like to say that all of us are totally alike. 21 sindhis? Are you sure that’s people who are ethnically sindhi or people who live in Sindh? I got those statistics from a Sindh website.
