Really.....did you think that May be like today Punjab is the largest region in terms of population. Every Pakistani is equal. Not like in India where you have class systems.
Now don't tell me, there are no regional tensions in between Pakistani provinces.
Wrong totally wrong we eat beef and you people eat leaf, we wear shalwar qameez male / female you wear dhoti kutra and saari. You believe in every living thing as God and worship idols while we believe in Allah and we only worship him.
Very informative. THANK YOU.That is what the Indians will tell you. That is what few in Pakistan will tell you.
Are they differant? Yes and No. Of course it';s not like on this side they have one eye and three legs and on other they have two eyes and four legs. Think of Chinese/Vietnam border. Think of Chinese/Indian border in Ladakh. On both sides you have Buddhist Tibetan peoples but that does not mean China and India are same?
Pakistan and India share one province called Punjab which is on both sides of the border. This has a line cutting through it based on religion. On both sides you have ethnic Punjabis differantiated by religion. Punjabi Muslim on Pakistan side and mostly Punjabi Sikh on Indian side. However only 2.5% of India is Punjabi. The other 97.5% is other ethnic groups which get more divergent from Pakistan further east/south you move into India from the border.
Punjabi Muslim - Make about 50% of Pakistan
Punjabi Sikh - Make about 2.5% of India.
The two Punjabs that were divided in 1947. Lahore is capital of Pakistani Punjab province. Amritsar is Sikh holy city in Indian Punjab with border inbetween.
The Punjab in Pakistan dominates the country at 50% of the population as one province with four province federation. The Indian Punjab is tiny part of India at just about 2.5% of the population. The map below contextualizes Indian Punjab [red] as one state within rest of the 29 Indian states union.
Hoewever don't let 2.5% hide the reality. Indian Punjabi Sikhs make big chunk of Indian Army and play a role in India far, far greater than their number suggests. So the Indian Punjabi Sikhs make a bigger part of the Indian ethnic mosaic at least at the public/popular perception then their numbers would suggest. I suppose a crude analogy might be Jews in America who despite being a tiny minority make big impact on the public scene.
Here below is Indian Punjab within other 29 Indian states.
I hope this answers your question. Just as a sidenote if you look at the Pakistan ethnic group map [first top] you will notice the Baloch carry over into Iran. The Pakhtuns carry over into Afghanistan. The Punjabi Muslims carry over into India as Punjabi Sikhs. Only Sindhis are restricted within Pakistan.
What is the percentage of population in India with roots in NWFP or Punjab? Give me a figure? 1%, 2%, 3%?? Don't use a drop in a ocean to cover up the mass of Indians who have little to do with Indus region/Pakistan. Strictly speaking India also has Tibetan populations of Buddhist faith - does that make you similar to China?
No there aren't regional t3nsuons in Pakistan But your dancing media does it. You will find Pakistanis from all regions serving in same units speaking one language eating same food and fighttovthe death for each other.
There was never a Muslim ruler over the former Kingdom which I live. Hence your argument is null. I know, Pakistan's history starts with only Muslim rulers. How about those Pagans who ruled you for more than 1000 years? And your ancestors, same as mine are nothing but Idolaters and Pagans who prayed to sun, earth, rock, trees and so on. Does that make any of us any less?
Calling me stupid and in the same breath all Indian are equal yet dalat are mistreated in your army. Check YouTube.There was never a Muslim ruler over the former Kingdom which I live.

That's not the topic here, It's partition.
Speaking of Bengali language, I think you have no idea about it, when the federal status for Bengali was put foreward the government stand was widely viewed as an attempt to suppress the culture of the eastern wing. The people of East Bengal demanded that their language be given federal status alongside Urdu and English. The language movement started after independance, as civil society protested the removal of the Bengali script from currency and stamps, which were in place since the British governments. The movement reached its climax in 1952, when the police fired on protesting students and civilians, causing several deaths.

Tell that to your constitution which denies people from minority becoming president or army chiefs. Equality
Yeah, every Indian is equal. Stop making stupid remarks to prove otherwise. it's a country of 1.3 billion, a mere criminal activity don't represent the entire country. Tensions are bound to happen. Actions are being taken against whoever commit violence and unlawful activities.
I didn't call you a stupid, I was talking about stupidity in making an argument with prejudice.
So the Hindu Punjabis are ethnically different?
Not really. Although of course Punjabis on both sides of the border have many similarities. Equally, you will find some similarities in Rajasthan/Sindh. Maybe some Pakistani can shed light on this - but aren't Sindhis now a minority in major cities in Sindh?

If you read what I posted I said all Punjabis are the same. And that includes Punjabi Hindus. Sindhi Hindus more similar to Sindhis then then they are with me. However do please enumerate the number of Hindu Punjabis/Hindu Sindhis? Let me know. thanks.
Yes I hate India. That why I visited and even told you above that my stay there was very positive. But Indians on PDF.......
