This thread has become the biggest evidence i can find of south asian idiocracy, and is an example of exactly why i despise some noteworthy indian, pakistani, and afgan "intellectuals."
Not that i have anything against you specifically. But this thread simply highlights my concern.
My view (and i will be hated for saying this) is that we indians, pakistanis, and afgans are essentially the same people. Until recently (on our timeframe, considering how long our peoples have existed), we have shared similar histories. We bred similar cultures, languages, and indentities. And now that we are three countries, we find it perfectly reasonable to hate each other's guts?
Seriously, what do you wish to accomplish? The world is getting to big for petty fights between brothers. The family is at stake, and the last thing we need is a rift.
I have no problem with there being a seperate Afganistan, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and India. In fact, i support it, as it bring power back to the people.
I hate with a vengence, however, useless argumentation as to which people are better.
I am an Indian Hindu, and one of my best friends is a Pakistani Muslim. Infact, his ancestry (before his family moved to the U.S.) can be traced to the pathans. He is as pakistani as he can get while still being an American. I am just about as Indian as i can possibly get while still being American. And somehow, SOMEHOW, we are able to get along perfectly well. We are supposed to hate each other, right? Maybe next time i see him, i'll berate him for events that occured well before our time, by people we share but vague ties to, to actions i have no resposibility for, and for circumstances that bare no significant importance to my life. Yeah, cause that makes perfect sense.
Yeah, this was just a rant that gave no input into the topic. But w/e. This pee-drinking Hindu wants to let other pee-drinking Hindus and dirty-mohammedans alike that the last thing i want (or our countries need) is an argument like this.
