Absolutely. Our Pakistani friends who are interested in friendship are always welcome to India.

why !! in Kamakhya temple too and in main temple of barpeta satra where women of age 10-50 are forbidden...
nice username btw Chaolung

Dear @zootinali, should it not have been zootiniali? And thanks also for liking my username; would it have been more appropriate to use Siu-ka-pha, Swargadeu? Do you think the Chinese will now appropriate us given that Siu-ka-pha came from Mong Mao, now in Yunnan?

On Topic: I have not seen a signboard saying only Hindus are allowed in either Kamakhya or Barpeta Satra. I might have missed it, but I am fairly certain that such sign-boards do not exist. Checked with the wife too, and she does not recall seeing any. [PS. She has not gone to the Barpeta Satra].

Check out the map of India in Exchange for Change exhibition in Lahore.

I would very much rather have NE india than some akhand bharat (conquer pakistan) fantasy some indians have...

Dont get me wrong, I understand this might have been done with good intention, but how can they just leave out North East India in that map like it doesnt matter?

Im shocked everything went well. It seem they dont report these exchange programs before they end because of hindutvas. And im also happy girls come back to Pakistan safely.

The students from both sides should visit the respective countries more and more. The students from Pakistan should be given opportunity to visit schools in all the major cities of India. The more they understand the diversity and vastness of geography of India and Pakistan,more benefit to the future of the sub continent

well Pakistanis have had some bad experiences in India recently, I for one wouldnt want to visit India let alone send my kids

School students from Pakistan (in blue) during a visit to Tagore International School in the Capital on Monday.

A week-long stay in Delhi and Agra for these Pakistani students has been like a home away from home. They discovered that the two nations share the same culture, language and cuisine.

For the 36-member Pakistani delegation that crossed over from the Wagah border on September 10, the parting gift was the birthday celebration of Citizens Archive of Pakistan’s Muhammad Owais Rana.

It was an emotional moment as Tagore International School principal Madhulika Sen -- who on realising that September 16 was Mr. Rana’s birthday and the 16-month-long project “Students Exchange for Change-II” was finally culminating -- presented a cake to CAP’s project manager.

As Mr. Rana was cutting the pineapple cake at the school premises in Vasant Vihar here on Monday, he was loudly cheered by students from both countries. The project was organised by Routes 2 Roots and CAP to foster friendship between students of the two countries.

“Since 96 per cent of our citizens are adherents of Islam, our children do not get to interact with children of other faiths. So such dialogues help in social progression and broadens their outlook. Students understand the viewpoint of the other side,” said Mr. Rana.

While admitting that people of both countries suffered during the Partition, CAP’s Swaleha said the distrust would melt away if more of such exchanges were planned. “These children have showed us how to move ahead instead of dwelling on the past. What I liked here is that Indians are a tolerant lot.”

Visiting the Akshardham Temple was a memorable experience for The Trust School principal Asim Ishraq. “One thing which will remain etched in our minds is that the people here welcome everyone into their places of worship. I visited Hindu, Jain and Sikh temples and nobody asked me about my faith. This tolerance among Indians would be emphasised by me when I return home.”

Before embarking on this visit, he was advised by cautious well wishers to cancel it because of the recent flare-up. “Secondly, since we are accustomed to eating non-vegetarian food, we were apprehensive whether we would get the same quality of food.” But a visit to a famous restaurant at the Walled City made him change his opinion and when he disclosed his identity with sellers they presented him gifts.

Ardavan Solan, belonging to the Parsi community in Karachi, said he would like to visit the Parsi temple in the city but was hard pressed for time.

“I was ordained as a priest. My parents supported me in visiting India. We have been bowled over by the hospitality extended to us.”

Indian hospitality floors Pak students - The Hindu

All punjabis, hardly represent Pakistan do they, language and cusine are hardly the same unless you belong to the mentioned group.

Day by day its becoming clear our forfathers made a mistake by joining Pakistan.

 

[SarthakGanguly]

Who made him a teacher?

anyway the fact is that Hindu temples in India are more of a revenue generating tourist spots than worship places. They indeed are open to all visitors .

BUT keep one thing in mind the one place where they had a head idol of place of that worshiping god you will find one BOARD

"ONLY Hindus are Allowed"


I have seen that in Chennai so chose to stand out.


As far as hospitality well kids are kids they must not be subjected to Hindu hate. So its good that these kids finds some smiles there instead of extremist Hindus chants.

Did not expect this from you. No, seriously.

It's completely your wish whether you want to visit or send your kids to India or not. Millions of foreign tourists visit India every year,some touring for almost a year in this country without any trouble.Those things hardly comes into news.
