I think the nuance of my post is totally lost on you. Conversion from Hinduism to Islam happened slowly as a long-term social process in South Asia, with Western parts having more Muslim due to longer time that this process worked. I was pointing out that conversion to Islam and genetic diffusion are comparable processes, since they both have a sociological dimension. Which of the factors that comprise identity on a macro scale (group identity level) could be more important? That could be discussed by serious and considerate posters. This is not for trolls to do, who are only good for making noise, repeating cliches, & derailing good threads.
As far as evictions during partition is concerned, riots during partition were two sided affairs both in Bihar/ Bangal in the East, and Punjab in the West. My family migrated from East Punjab, so I know quite well what happened. My 80 year old mother is a living witness. Projecting riots on the country level is a favorite trick employed by Indians. It does not quite work anymore because people who actually study history seriously are able to make the necessary distinctions.
I think you totally failed to grasp by my barely nuanced post .
1. I agreed with you that change of religion and rise of Islam in western Punjab and sindh progressed over centuries as Muslim rule consolidated over those regions and stayed till date. Even today see conversion considered a great act and some done live on pakistani TV . Why do u think i thought anything different ?
2. My comment relating to partition was in context that partition was based on racial or geographical difference but was purely along the religious lines . Unfortunately it was demanded by only the muslims and Hindus and Sikhs faced the repercussion which changed their lives for ever.
You went on same rona dhona that muslims too suffered the burnt of partition atrocities , then you must know partition riots were started by Muslims on the call of Jinnah's direct action day and from that days north India and Bengal became communal conundrum .
I could make a number of observations here, but suffice to say that a connection between diet and genetics (?) is interesting as presented.
Garbha sanskar is hindu spiritual practice derived from the Ayurveda that professes to give birth to healthy child with sound mind and body that enables to produce good natured noble being rooted in spirituality .
It isn't focused on diet and certainly not on skin color or race .
There are Ayurvedic Garbh sanskar clinic in Europe and US where majority clients are white peoples.
Going by my exposure of Indian media and general interaction with Indians, I would like to stick with my opinion. This is not based on a survey, but my experience.
You should vastly enlarge you experience .
1. Going by political media , India constant obsession in Pakistan strategic, political and religious contexts .
While in India though we do discuss Pakistan but it's limited to security and terrorism related issues.
2. On Pakistani info entertainment media India virtually rules , be it our movies or music , even our cartoons and hindi made programs in Discovery channel improving ur hindi vocabulary at the least .
You go to any youtube video related to india , you see Pakistanis commenting on it. Even hindu mythological/religious serials r watched by some pakistanis.
While Pakistani movies and soaps are virtually non existent in india which i think should change . Pakistan cock studio liked minuscule punjabi elite in north india.
3. Constant bizarre lies and propaganda put on ur media get the most attention of Indians that in turn forces them join forums like this to put the record straight .
