Guest dada_rocks Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 http://bihartimes.com/Newsbihar/2009/Jan/Newsbihar03Jan6.html Patna, (Bihar Times): There is not a single Muslim living in this village, yet it is named Pakistan. This Pakistan is situated in Purnea district of Bihar. Notwithstanding recent tension and four wars the people of that village oppose change in the name of the village. This notwithstanding the demand by some people to change the name. The villagers do not want the two countries to fight. A Lahore datelined report in a Pakistani daily quoting BBC said that the villagers want to spread the message of peace and brotherhood. This Indian––or rather Bihari––Pakistan is a village situated on the border with West Bengal and the native Muslim population migrated to the then East Pakistan in 1947. It is in the memory of those Muslims that the locals had named the village Pakistan, said the report. Before the State Re-organization Commission’s recommendation in 1956, the then undivided district of Purnea was contiguous to East Pakistan. However, in 1956 Islampur sub-division was given to West Bengal, which now forms the international border with Bangladesh. Many Pakistanis have their roots in India and many of them root for India. There is Bihari Colony, Delhi Colony, Aligarh Colony etc in Pakistan, especially Karachi. Similarly many western Punjabis living in India do not hesitate in declaring their roots. Shops like Lahori Halwa, Sialkot Sports, Peshwar Store etc can be found in many places But there is perhaps no India, Bharat or Hindustan in Pakistan and no Pakistan, barring this one, in India.
sandtest Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 This only confirms once again, when it comes Indians and Hindus -- they have no confusion, no conflict whatsoever with regards to their roots and identity. They are not afraid of any foreign ideology/new invention affaceting them due to sheer class of dharmic philosophy which has endured more than 6000 thousand years of invasion as well as inventions. Contrary to this when I look at Pakis they try to eliminate any possible trace of Indic culture and name in their Pakiland. They even renamed a city with "Faisalabad" -- just to please Saudi's Wahhabi King Faisal. But again, we are talking about Pakis, my bad!
yoshi Posted January 5, 2009 Posted January 5, 2009 ^the faisalabad renaming never occured to me-wow that was extreme.
Guest dada_rocks Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 Qaddafi stadiums anyone.. BTW this level of respect for posterity no matetr how negative it wud have been must be because NEHRU told us to do so :haha:
sandtest Posted January 6, 2009 Posted January 6, 2009 ^the faisalabad renaming never occured to me-wow that was extreme. Faisalabad's old Indic name was Lyallpur. When House of Saud ruler, Faisal Bin Abdul Aziz assured them of some oil money if they accept pure teachings of Saudi Wahhabi Islam, Pakis being Pakis not only accepted this whole heartedly but changed the name to appease Sheikh Faisal, after all Saudi Arabia is where Pakis have advocated long to look for guidance instead of India. Little they knew that this Wahhabism will be biting them in 21st century. The ways of Karma :giggle:
