Yes.

 

It is disgusting whenever I see a Pakistani actor or a singer in a bollywood movie....I mean how many struggling actors and singers are there in India....why can't they catch a break? Bollywood movies are a rip off anyways but just to ripoff bollywood and India obsessed Pakistani they seem to throw in a bone by casting these Pakistani hacks or giving these singers a break.

 

Even before these extreme reactions,For Novelty an odd Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan or Ghulam Ali can be overlooked once in a while as they were world-renowned artists but when I see some Pakistani actors or Singers just being cast for the sake of it,it is absolutely disgusting.

 

India has so many film industries within it's country....All 4 South Indian Film industries are individually bigger than Pakistani film industry.....Punjabi film industry,Bengali,Marathi,Bhojpuri already have immense following among the native speakers of this language and so many aspiring actors/artists who want to catch a break,but yet we clamour for these Pakistani artists to cash in that extra buck...this is absolutely disgraceful.

 

I mean what unique skill does Atif Aslam,Ali Jaffar and some other actors I can recollect the names right now bring to the table?

 

You need to clean your hosue first

It most definitely has multilateral implications, since de-recognizing a government is implicit for 'going back on your recognition word'. As i said, it simply is not done that way. When countries break total relations, they still recognize each other as countries, if they already have done so in the past. Only a survival failure for that country causes that country to be not recognized anymore. Just go check, when we broke relations with RSA, we still recognized RSA as a country.

 

Either way, even if we break any treaty with Pakistan, say the Indus Water Treaty, it amounts to "going back on your word." We may indeed be going back on a previous government's word, but that is the same as if we break any treaty we have ever signed. The question is, are all diplomatic relationships the same? In my mind, no. Every major country should know the unique relationship we have with Pakistan. If they think that India-country x diplomatic relationship is subject to the same, then that is bizarre. 

 

Also, if I remember correctly, after the assassination of the US ambassador in Afghanistan 1989, the US essentially closed down all its embassies, etc in that area. They didn't recognize a government authority there until 2001, after their invasion. 

 

RSA and Pakistan are apples and oranges. On RSA we were taking a moralistic position on the basis of apartheid. We also had Indian nationals, NRIs, and PIOs living there that we were at least somewhat responsible for. Pakistan, if we declare them a terrorist state, we have no need to recognize them. Treat them as proto-ISIS, as they are anyway.

Do not purchase any pakistani goods. There are lots of masalas,basmati rice that comes from pak these days and i see them even in Indian stores, brandishing themselves as Indian masala, boycott them, unless you want to sponsor terror.

lol... I thought the only made in products they have are the terrorists they send to India. Who in their right minds even buy these items?

The problem will be when we then deal with China over Brahmaputra i suppose.

IF we don't respect International treaty/court then how can to the same place if we have issues with other nations

China can only access 30% of Brahmaputra.Not more than that.70% of Brahmaputra is beyond it.And theres a 100bn USD trade to worry about for China.

And Might is Right just like China showed in SCS and Russia in Crimea.

India has to withdraw from IWT.Thats a firm response but not a war.The only response they have is a war which they cannot afford.

The trade deficit is around $54 billion USD a year between us and China. They would take an enormous financial hit.  

 

Also, withdrawing the IWT, we would get more water to Punjab/Haryana/Kashmir.

we dont need to not respect International law or riparian water rights ( India is not Karnataka alone ;) ) but we can appeal against the IWT and withdraw from it and ask for a greater share than the current 19%, like say 50 50 lol..

There are people who go to Pakistani websites and post there and are doing so even now.And they want Govt to take action.We cannot boycott Pakistanis cant even stop going to their websites but we want govt to go to war.Shame on us.

Are you serious? How is clicking on a Pakistani website the same as cutting down trade and employment or going for war?

 

Yeah as a matter of principle fair enough.....but what you are saying -It is the equivalent to stop watching porn to avoid contracting STD's :phehe:

At least 2 Pakistani forums that i read Pak Defence and PP have their second largest member base from India.You think they dont make revenues on this?These forums survive on Indo Pak discussion because no other country is remotely interested in what Pakistani do.

Anyways these are my opinions you are free to visit and post on these founs and watch them support terrorists and make fun of our dead.

I have absolutely nothing against the stand taken of voluntary boycott of Pak based websites......I will applaud if anyone has taken that stand....I personally never visit them anymore but if someone who has been visiting these sites ,has been provoked into posting his/her opinion,I don't see that as a weakness either,it is basic human nature 101.

But yes, you are right that if their revenue will take a hit if Indians and Non-Resident ones don't indulge them and that reduces their traffic.....some amount of restraint needs to be shown but that is easier said than done.

I have noticed the trend too. It seems they are too addicted to those forums so much so they are happy to take some s h I t as long as they are allowed to post there.
