To be honest? Nothing.

 

Let me make it clear - I don't hate or dislike Pakistanis, and this is the same mindset I have for people of all nations. But when I think of the amount of hostility they have in their conscience for us, it becomes very difficult for me to appreciate good things from there.

I don't need to join the military to show my support bruh. Not all of us have to join the forces, but we can help the braves in our own way, even by taking nationalistic stance, giving moral support, shunning the enemy, supporting pro-forces politics, expressing our gratitude if we meet them, contributing to national defence fund, exposing/pressurizing internal traitors, social media campaigns etc.

 

I don't need to show you anything, you can call me RW, LW, chicken, pig, fox, deer, eagle whatever floats your boat. But that you are making personal remarks instead of debating the points is a giveaway that you have erred. Come on danda, I like you as a poster, I know your political inclination and special love for the Pakistanis....maybe you are in extra charitable mood today or merely a brainfade. Not debating further, no bad blood, up to you. Have a nice day. 

Sorry I did not mean to insult you. I do not know if you have been part of a minority ever.

 

When I grew up in Kolkata, I was part of the majority and never faced any discrimination and never understood what it felt to be marginalized. After coming to the US and facing overt racism, my outlook changed. I am not saying all the things you are saying is false, but sometimes putting yourself in other shoes can give you a different perspective.

So you hate Pakistani’s even though you said you don’t. 

Hate is not the right word, avoidance would be the right one. Again, I don't dislike the people of Pakistan but the end of Pak army or total change in their priorities (looks impossible) will not only benefit Indo-Pak relations but also the world.

You can say what you want but outside of our own countries there is no better friends than the fellow brown neighbors. 

Yes, I'm aware of that. Most upper middle class families from Pakistan and India do get along well in overseas countries, it's easier than getting along with white Americans, afro Americans, Chinese, middle eastern and Europeans.

But action against terrorism is always vindicated.

A dude who can fire once in a blue moon and still get the crowd going every match, means the dude has talent. I bet you this guy was a potential husband for any chick.

Its a curiously Pakistani thing - to brag about the manliness of some random Pakistani, and think that it reflects on all of them somehow.  Kind of like how they embrace the "unpredictable" tag for their cricket team, instead of being insulted - probably because they don't understand the full meaning.

Because you can say what you want, but ultimately we're pretty much the same people

Pakistani girls are hella cute. Wouldnt have minded dating one of them when I was in college.

The low bar that Pakistan set and how we Indians feel good about how we are above it, while there are lesser countries who have set higher bars.

Born before 1947 but yeah lots of talent in the fields of entertainment i.e singers, composers, actors, writers,poets.  Most of the stalwarts were born pre-independence.

All of that was part of India. Pakistan obviously came into effect 1947

I think pure Urdu (not the modern spoken kind) is the sweetest language to listen to. I do not understand everything, and frequently have to look up dictionary, but still sounds so rich and intriguing.

Mostly borrows words from Persian and somewhat Arabic.  What sort of words you look up?

I think the timing of this thread is a bit off 

Looks like a mistimed shot edged to the slips
