Why Pakistani think Indians as Baniya people ?

[Aepsilons]

There has a stereotype in Pakistan about India . That Indian people are mere Baniya people and so not so with fighting attitude.

But there are lots of 'martial races ' in India like Rajput,Jaat, Sikh, Ahir/Yadav , Gurjar, Maratha , Bhumihar etc. . I also find Brahmans doing all martial job equally good ,if not better, with all so called 'martial races'.

But I don't find mention of these castes in Pakistan's view of India. Why ?

Pardon me for my ignorance in local terminology, but what does the term 'Baniya' mean?

 

[Screambowl]

take it easy, let them call us whatever they want, but in reality they know our capabilities.

The Bania is an occupational community of merchants, bankers, money-lenders, dealers in grains or in spices, and in modern times numerous commercial enterprises.

Thank you for the definition and answer. Is it considered bad to occupy these positions in life in India?

Someone from the Hindu merchant caste historically they have a bad reputation of being greedy and so it carries a negative connotation today.

I know this place. This is very famous Shiv Mandir on Dehradun Mussoorie Road. It was very near to my college in Dehradun and we used to go there often.

An unusual thing about this Mandir is that they don't accept any donations. In fact they have many boards prominently saying "kripya yahaan daan na dain"

Hi, are you talking about the Shiv Mandir, Kuthal Gate, the one with a Buddhist monastery next to it, when you climb from Dehradun to Mussoorie?

Yes this is the one I am talking about. My college (DIT) was hardly 500 meters from here and we used to come here often
