How much of Pakistani culture is Indian?

From Weddings to Religious events such as Eid celebration Indian cultural dominates in Pakistani Society! Bollywood is perhaps the most discussed topic after politics and personal issues and here we are claiming to have "indigenous" culture? Indian (so called) Muslim celebrities are looked upon as ideals of the society and for almost everyone Sharuk khan Slman Khan are their kings. Im sorry but our society is proving itself to be failures which is losing its identity to Indian and western culture and here we are declaring them our number 1 enemies? These days its a norm to have a premarital relationship and if you dont then you are abnormal which also proves that we are subliminally pursing Indian lifestyle.

The Indians are completely accomplice to globalism. While some people in cities make you feel that Indian culture is dominant, the truth is most Pakistanis do not give importance to bollywood/indians.

i have visited North African countries and there people too have involved themselves with this Indian crap. Something needs to be done fast to stop it growing. Already, this influence has caused most of the world to think that India and Pakistan to be the same. I say shoot the bas**ds that go to India for film shoot!

Unity gives strength. India is united but not united. When you will understand this line,you will know what I mean. When we say Hindustani culture,it does not mean Indians culture. It means culture of Indian sub continent which include India,Pakistan,Sri lanka, Maldives,Myanmar,Bangladesh,Nepal,Bhutan,Afghanistan. Culture is not a thing which you can grow in short span of time. It is evolving process including interaction among many civilizations.

Pakistan Air Force owned cinema hall shuts after ban on Indian films

Lahore: A cinema hall owned by Pakistan Air Force in this eastern city has been closed by its private management after officials imposed a ban on screening Indian movies earlier this month.

The PAF officials singled out Indian films for a ban though Bollywood productions are being screened across Pakistan, including in two other cinema halls within Lahore Cantonment, sources said.

The PAF has been leasing the management of its cinema to private parties through annual contracts. The current private management took over the hall more than two years ago and spent around Rs 20 million on its renovation, an official said.

On September 6, which is observed as Defence Day in Pakistan to commemorate those killed in the 1965 war with India, the PAF ordered the private management to immediately stop screening Indian films.

"You are hereby directed to stop screening of Indian films in the PAF Cinema, Lahore, with immediate effect," the order said.

The private management of the cinema hall said it suffered huge financial losses after a ban was imposed on screening Indian films. Nadir Latif, an official of the management, said the hall had been closed since September 7.

Latif said when the ban was imposed, "Raaz 3" was being screened at the hall. "Barfi!" was next in line to be screened, followed by "Heroine".

"I have had to bear losses running into millions of rupees for not being allowed to show these movies," he said.

"Practically speaking, the PAF has closed the cinema and it should now give us compensation," he argued.

Latif has also approached PAF officials, seeking a relaxation of the ban. His case is based on the stated difference between an "Indian film" and a "foreign film of non-Indian" origin.

According to the current policy, movies starring Indian actors may not be treated as "Indian products" but simply as foreign films.

Such foreign films are routinely imported from Dubai. "Raaz 3" was cleared by censors in Punjab province as a product of Britain.

Latif said he attached a letter of the Punjab Censor Board with documents that he submitted to PAF authorities.

The letter read: "You are humbly informed that... Punjab Film Censor Board has been screening foreign produced films (sic), all of films are imported from Dubai, either English feature films or Urdu feature films. These are taken as foreign films.
Punjab Films Censor Board has never screened any film imported from India or has never issued Censor Certificate to Indian films."

Such hateful people you are loathing thy neighbour. If you don't like our films, ban them, don't like our marriage ceremonies, forbide them, etc. But they must you say they are inferior? Why must you call it crap? Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad. Grow out of this elementary thinking.

A very thought provoking and timely question.



Good point. The source of all civilization in South Asia came from the IVC, which exists almost entirely in modern-day Pakistan.

No it did not. There is hardly anything similar to the IVC and the latter day civilizations. Its like claiming all mammals came from dinosaur.

Now what do you say? We never claimed that it or any other civilization is ours. Civilization means civilized people & civilized people don't fight for claims,they cooperate & co-exist.

The Indus Valley Civilization (IVC) was a Bronze Age civilization (3300–1300 BCE; mature period 2600–1900 BCE) that was located in the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent, consisting of what is now mainly present-day Pakistan and northwest India. Flourishing around the Indus River basin, the civilization extended east into the Ghaggar-Hakra River valley and the upper reaches Ganges-Yamuna Doab; it extended west to the Makran coast of Balochistan, north to northeastern Afghanistan and south to Daimabad in Maharashtra. The civilization was spread over some 1,260,000 km², making it the largest ancient civilization. The Indus Valley is one of the world's earliest urban civilizations, along with its contemporaries, Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. At its peak, the Indus Civilization may have had a population of well over five million.
