Do Indians Hate Pakistan?

Deepak Mehta

If you are asking this because of a bunch of militant groups that constantly keep attacking India and because the Indian government is a bunch of sissies and the Pakistan Government is a bloody backstabber, then YES!

We (young Indians) hate Pakistan the same way we hate Switzerland because all our corrupt politicians have their black money holed up in their Swiss accounts, the same way we hate Britain because their ancestors ruled over us (and because we were too scared and disorganized to fight back), the same way  we hate Canada for giving us Justin Bieber.

On a serious note, we do not hate Pakistan (or Pakistanis). We just hate (despise, detest and loathe) the militant groups and the impotent governments of both the countries.

Simple rule for life, never generalize. Every country, city, community, religion or any other group of people has someone who has done something horrible. Hating the entire group for that one person would just spiral down to hating everyone.

Let me tell you a story.

I belong to so called "Young Indians" community. Last year, I was in Saudi Arabia for some onsite project. There are so many Pakistani/Indian cab drivers in Saudi who are living there from past 15-20 years.

One fine day, I got into a taxi and the cab driver was from Peshawar, Pakistan. He was playing some Bollywood song on slow volume. I asked him to increase the volume as the song was one of my favorite. He was very amused by hearing this and asked me about myself as in where I come from, what work I do there and all that stuff. Then I started asking about his family, his work routine and many more things. He was very happy with the conversation as only a few passenger talks with cab drivers about their family and all. Suddenly I asked him, do Pakistani hates Indians and his reply was "Koi apne bhaiyon se bhi nafrat karega kya (who will hate his own brother)", ye deewar to bade log apne faayde k liye banaate hai (politicians create such boundaries for their own benefit), hume to bada accha lagta hai Indian bhaiyon se milke (it’s always pleasure to meet peoples from India). Later we discussed about cricket where he told me that in Pakistan, Kohli and Dhoni are considered most dangerous batsman as they can turn a match in any direction, but they love this kind of battle in the field.

After that visit, I have a huge respect and lots of love for Pakistani peoples. In fact, I started calling them Chacha (Uncle) and Bhai (brother).

We don't hate Pakistani's at all. In fact, we would like to meet more and more Pakistani peoples if possible.

Thanks :) :)
