I appreciate your moderation. This was not flame war, I even gave well cited references for OP to read. I also never attack anyone personally, but I do want them to be more informed.
I was waiting for you to arrive, not you literally but some propaganda machine, I've moved to the US last year for higher education, and fortunately for me here I was able to meet a lot of Pakistani's. And not once did anyone say anything against India or me. In fact even the older generation was so thoughtful, and recognized our shared culture and history. And they were sometimes more friendly and less judgemental than fellow Indians here.
> Do you know what is officially taught in schools for India (and Hindus)?
Please enlighten me, how a govt controlled curriculum, doesn't affect what's thought in schools. Which is exactly what my point was and BJPs influence on NCERT in the past few years are no better.
If you come outside the bubble of propaganda between both the countries, you quickly realize how played the citizens of both nations are.
Please don't take HN threads further into flamewar. This part of your comment was great:

But the rest was much too disputatious and aggressive.
@dang wants this to stop, so i'll respect that and wont be back in this thread. But do put a link from india's textbook which spews hatred against Pakistanis or muslims? Please enlighten me.
Please don't obfuscate things here. Both OP and I are talking about Pakistani state. We all are aware that individual (particularly sane ones) have minimal control on government policies.
Edit: you've unfortunately broken the site guidelines in other cases too, such as https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33906633. Please don't do that - we have to ban accounts that do that sort of thing.

In sindh, there loads of Hindus. And there is no internal strife or persecution of them.
In fact, the only point of animosity with India starts and stops at Kashmir.

The original post was making a point about humanity, and you hijacked it with your own agenda. Way to go bud.
