I have many Indian friends, work colleagues etc both Hindu and Muslim and even non religious. In day to day life like most people Indians are fine too. Issue is when you go on specific type forums like this one or others you will get specific people who want to troll or have hatred for Pak or Muslims in general. I have no issue with anyone on the forum as long as its respectful. People who come on to mock or troll are not really interested in conversing so should be ignored.I have recently come to question the standards of this forum and more specifically, the outlook of Pakistani members towards our Indian members.
As we all know, there is a great deal of hatred from Indians towards Pakistan and Muslims, for reasons beyond our control.
The question is whether it is worthwhile to engage their toxicity and fight it with toxicity.
If we decide to engage hate with hate, how are we any better than they are?
I have nothing specifically against Indians, I just understand that they hate our people, religion and country and oppress them within their own country as well.
I'm not calling for peace with Indians but rather a professional and grown-up detente on this forum.
You don't agree with me and I don't agree with you. Let's leave it at that.
There's no need to cuss out each other's traditions or values (I too have been guilty of this) or post things in an attempt to have a potshot at the residential indians.
Whilst some may argue that a more peaceful outlook towards Indians in general would be a disgrace due to the amount of hate that they spew at us and the way they treat our people, I say that simply ignoring their insults would do more damage to them rather than allowing our own status to be diminished by wrestling with them in the mud. As for the situation of Kashmir and Indian muslims, the argument has not changed in 75 Years. There is no need to keep mudslinging over it, even though both states claim the land as their own. Ultimately, it is the Kashmiri people that suffer at the hands of Oppression in India and massive incompetence in Pakistan, as well as their own dreams of independence being crushed.
I have seen the standards of the DeeFI (indian forum like this one) and I used to scorn their outlook towards us. But over time, I have seen our moral line narrow further and further. We are now exactly the same as those we swore to be different from.
In relation to the standards of this forum, I see political misinformation and sensationalism behind every tree.
A post of the Shaheeds? There will be someone cussing out the military
A post on healthcare improvement? There will be someone bringing sensationalist politics into it.
In short, I call for the following standards to be met:
1) A decrease in the hatred given towards Indians in general and to our Indian members
2)A decrease in the politicisation of threads that do not need to be.
3)An increase in respecting the rules and keeping an eye on basic civility.
Thank you for reading.

This is a professional forum, where we are standard bearers for the countries we are from and the religions we follow. It is our duty to keep things clear cut and civil and to be true men, not through the degradation of others, but through any attempts to educate them that are possible.
