I find this article very very sad. Indeed, there might be people in Pakistan who feel the same way about India as Mr. Veeresh does about Pakistan. I am a Pakistani and have mostly heard similar comments (in milder tones) from Pakistani people who are crass and not from very well-educated families. Generally, Pakistani people who are from educated families and who are brought up with good values do not approve of such prejudices as expressed in this article even amongst our own people. I have been living in America for a few years now and have made many Indian friends. Unfortunately, I have encountered other Indians with such prejudices too and every time they made a rude comment about the Kashmir issue for example, I would just think to myself, this person is so low and ignorant, it hurts.

I must say I am rather disgusted at the comments expressed here. I am now 30 years old and have spent the main part of my life in Pakistan. I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY THAT I HAVE NEVER HEARD ANY PAKISTANI SAY SUCH HATEFUL THINGS ABOUT INDIA OR INDIANS EVER!!!

Veeresh

Enjoyed reading it. Good one.

Having never visited India, I must admit I have a fascination for India. My mother used to speak so many Hindi words that gradually have faded away except when we watch indian TV.

In Colombo 7, where I live now, two houses away from me lives Jugjeet kapoor, a Punjabi from Dehra Doon. He works in Indian Embassy, Economic councillor. It is a handsome couple and extremly pleasant to interact. Though my wife says we should not visit them too often. He may get into a problem because of his job.

My office collegue is Pawan Kumar from Pathankot. So I am getting a lot of feel of India. Pawan Kumar and myself both visited Bangla Desh, Nepal and Bhutan togather on an official visit. Nice to have no language problem and eat the same channa, gobi and roti. (I brought him to having at least chicken soup & wine)

best wishes
