Differences Between INDIA and PAKISTAN |
India
and Pakistan are two countries that probably have one of the biggest love-hate
relationships in the world in fact if you think about their Relationship and
compares that to what people say about women you say you can't live with them
You can't live without them welcome back to another blog of Geeks mafia. My
name is Atul Bhatt. This is a blog where we talk about everything and
Everything and this is a pretty exciting one. I'm going to be talking about
Indian and Pakistan What's the big difference? Here because like myself and
many other people from the west, for the most part, we have no clues So I did
some digging just to find out what exactly makes Indians and Pakistanis
Different so to begin we got to do a little bit of a history lesson So you
ready for this the Indian subcontinent used to be ruled by the British Empire
for almost 200 years? But when world war II ended the British were in no
position to hold on to their stronghold over the Indian subcontinent But the
British didn't leave before partitioning the Indian subcontinent into two
separate nation India and Pakistan on the date of August 14, 1947, Pakistan
became an independent country, However, there was no correct way to divide the
line with the Hindu majorities as well as the Muslim majorities How to do you
divide that there was a mixture of people of different faiths all over the
Indian subcontinent? Because of this improper partitioning of the Indian
subcontinent There were mass scale casualties on both sides Violence broke out
all over the country and the partition left over a million dead and almost 20
million people were displaced from their home It's been almost 70 years since
this separation And the last 70 years haven't been the easiest for either
A country both of them have to overcome hurdles and challenges and had to work
hard to get global recognition in many Different fields So we have a little
brief history lesson if you want to find out more about the Indian and Pakistan
Partition you got to check out our video the choose behind the India-Pakistan
Conflict, I've deleted that down below. I go to a lot of detail about it, but
moving forward now Let's take a look at some of the cultural differences the
language differences Well as some differences exist only because
the two places are now two separate countries, but they're not really major
differences It's just the fact that they're two different countries That's why
those differences exist now the population of India at the time of filming this
is one billion three hundred and Forty-two million five hundred and fifty-two
thousand seven hundred and Twenty-five Pakistan's population in Comparison is
196 million seven hundred and fifty-four thousand four hundred people India is
considered a secular nation whereas Pakistan is considered a Muslim state and
just to give you a little bit of background about that India was conceived as a
secular democracy by National Congress leads such as Gandhi and Jawaharlal
Nehru it was meant to guarantee all the people in the South Asian subcontinent
political and religious freedom however people like Muhammad Ali Jinnah
considered to be the father of Pakistan as well as another Muslim congress
leaders were the driving forces behind the formation of Pakistan and so it
became a Muslim state and taking off that actually one of the biggest
differences between the two countries are religion although India is considered
a secular nation by the majority 80% of people Identify as Hindus while of course
the majority of people in Pakistan identify as Muslim It's also interesting to
note that Pakistan has the second-largest Muslim population In the whole world
now one thing to address and I know the point may be a little controversial,
but there's no specific single Pakistan Culture separate from a specific Indian
culture it's like having a plate of food you know with your rice chicken and
Vegetables and that plate of food is divided and then now it's like oh, we
were once the same plate of food But you have more chicken so therefore the
chicken is your culture weight, but that was part of my culture Yeah, probably
not the best analogy But I think you get the point Pakistan alone is five times
smaller than India and there are about 300 dialects and languages the count four
dialects and languages in India number over 1500 well let's take a look more
into the language differences, There are two official languages for communication
in Pakistan and those are gu and English Now there are several regional
languages of Kazan and those are Cindy Punjabi, Bellucci, Pashto Karachi's Gory
and Hint Ku but the national language of Pakistan is Purdue when it comes to
the languages in India The two official languages for communication in India
are English and Hindi and yes There are also original languages And those are
Gujarati Marathi Tamil Purdue as well Sanskrit Punjabi and there's many more
and the national language in India is Hindi the national animal of India is
this guy the Bengal Tiger the Marquart is the national animal of Pakistan and me
have to look this up, and it's the species of goat I've never heard of this
before until this video in terms of currency Pakistan uses Pakistani rupees
India uses Indian rupees pretty self-explanatory the most popular greeting in
Pakistan is salaam alaikum India there are several like namaste Rom Rom dry
Serum and such Sri Akal now Let's talk about the difference in Death Pakistan
after the Death of any Muslim, the body actually needs to be buried as quickly
as possible from the time of death. This is according to Islamic law to prepare
the body for burial It has to be washed and covered with Cop on and cop on you
can also call that a shroud or a cloth now in India when I Hindi dies Hindus
don't necessarily Bury their bodies instead They're burnt and after the burning
of the bodies, the ashes are sprinkled in the Ganges River or any other sacred
body of water Now finally let's talk about the cuisines the food the Good Stuff
as you can tell India is a big place right one of the biggest populations On
the planet and of course it used to be bigger it consisted of the areas that
are now Pakistan Bangladesh, Sri Lanka my NMR Formerly Burma So the notion of
Indian food is not entirely accurate, to begin with, although the term Pakistani
The cuisine is a little bit big too because Pakistan didn't exist a nation until 1947
but for the sake of them now being two different countries, We can make a little
bit of a distinction here Pakistani cuisine can be considered a subset of
Indian cuisine but even that subset is pretty diverse in the sense that the
Spices and the ingredients in Indian and Pakistani food are pretty much the
same But the way the food is prepared can be quite different For example the
kind of food that you would find being cooked in a south Indian home would be
dal rat some sambar ETC It's completely different from Pakistani Kebab, so in
many Pakistani dishes very meat, heavy But there's a difference between those
meat-heavy dishes and the vegetarian dishes in some parts of India so yeah
again Describing something like Indian food and Pakistani food is a bit tricky
because food isn't necessarily National it's more regional don't think anyone
can be like no, this is Indian food This is Pakistani food two different
things. It's just not possible So there you guys go these are some of the
difference between the two countries Pakistan and India we see that the certain
fundamental belief systems of each country sort of color the whole culture of
each country But one thing to remember is that there's no better nation because
better is subjective. It's not objective So rather than picking someone else's
culture or religious beliefs Let's Aim to understand where they're coming from
because despite everything else. We're all the same but different We're the
same in the fact that we're human beings but different in the fact that we're
all individuals and have different self-expression So I say to all of you, my
brothers and sisters. I love and appreciate all of you for simply being You
may not agree with everything that you guys have to say and you may not
necessarily agree. That's been good I have to say in terms of our perspective
but if you are a person living on this earth you have some Values and never let
anyone tell you that you're worthless all right So it's all my Pakistani and
Indian viewers as well as wherever else you're watching from Peace.
