Trains arrived in Lahore with nothing but dead Muslims on board.

Did that happen by accident? No, it happened because you all were murdering Muslims.

But of course an anti-Pakistan troll would conveniently forget that part.

You don’t know what the word “genocide” means. That’s fine. We’ve clearly established English isn’t your first language.

“Genocide” is state led. What happened in 1947 was mutual ethnic cleansing.

wee eh?

Why? South Asia is a term that applies to the region as a whole, which is not just India and Pakistan. South Asia includes Afghanistan (according to some definitions), Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Maldives etc.

“South Asia” as a term doesn’t invalidate the component nation states. “Indian” subcontinent implies that the entire subcontinent belongs to India. It is this implication that Pakistanis resent.

“South Asia” is equivalent to “Middle East”, “Southeast Asia” etc. Regional groupings exist. They don’t necessarily imply that all countries in a particular region like each other.

So you should oppose terms like South Asia which conflate or hyphenate modern nation states in Indian subcontinent.

No it’s not.

India is a hostile power that has never wanted Pakistan to succeed. From the very beginning, they refused to pay the share that was due to Pakistan from British India’s money. Gandhi ji had to literally go on a fast in order for this money to be given to Pakistan. Gandhi ji was murdered by a Hindutva fanatic precisely because he was “soft on Pakistan”. India broke Pakistan in 1971. The list goes on.

It’s a reality that Pakistanis consider India our arch-enemy. Indians consider Pakistan their arch-enemy.

That’s a wee hyperbolic

If Indians find it offensive to be conflated with Pakistanis, Pakistanis find it offensive to be conflated with Indians.

India is our arch-enemy. We want nothing to do with India. Whether one likes it or not, this is reality.

Kabir has a right to define his nation hood on his terms ..

Most Pakistanis alas would agree with him (I disagree) but that’s what self-determination is about

As I was writing this comment it occurred to me a good post idea is whether Pakistan impeded India rise as a superpower and to what extent

yes Pakistan is a hybrid nation; Indian like India and Muslim like Arabia..
