Should india ban all pakistani films and artists

[Nelson R Mandela]

But you never specified if the Indian government was secular, just India in general.

That's what secular means. Separation of church and state.

Well ok, I went by a more general definition.

…..atheist?

[New Carloso]

Mansidog is that you?

Manisdog would want to ban British films, not Pakistani.

We are talking about the most anti-hindu country in the world, a country that as per the constitution of that country denies some sects of muslims and hindus a chance to become a pm. we are talking about a country that has commited genocide

When the fuck did Pakistan commit genocide? Can't think of anything like that off the top of my head, but I can definitely think of a few times India committed massacres and unprecedented aggression (Invasion of Hyderabad, Oppression of Kashmiri's, Oppression of Muslims, Oppression of Sikhs..)

No-one outside of the Indian subcontinent (except historians) has any reason to know who he is.

Or anyone who paid attention in World History back in grade 9.

9th grade was 30 years ago.
Though, yeah, if you're going to take part in a discussion about Pakistan, you should make an effort to bone-up on at least the highlights of their history.

…..atheist?

Yeah, simply a non-religious person or group. But you're right.

That is the general definition.

[Nelson R Mandela]

To me there are two parts to the definition: A person or group who is non-religious, then getting a little more specific; the separation of church and state.

So Dya, what were the dinosaurs like?

But to be fair, this was supposed to be a conversation about banning their films in India rather than a conversation on the merits of them as a state.

True. IDK how this got so off topic.

I took 9th grade world history. We talked a bit about India, but not at all about Pakistan, other than that it existed.

Yeah, the American education system doesn't really care about the British Empire after 1783, much less 1947.

This is NSG.

NSG + contentious topic + nationalism/ignorance = chaos and offtopic

It's a pretty reliable expression.

This is not the British empire more to do with the Indian nationalist movements

again western bias not only in the education system but your terms

[Naushantiya]

Why are people who don't have any idea about jinnah posting in this thread, this is funny and lame

[Arana]

Why are people who don't have any idea about jinnah posting in this thread, this is funny and lame

Because the thread is about a theoretical ban on Pakistani movies, not about politics and diplomacy on the Indian Subcontinent.

[Elesar]

I know who Muhammed Ali Jinnah is. I know he was perfectly willing to work with Gandhi and Nehru.

Oh yes, heaven forbid we discuss Jinnah's role in breaking up the BRITISH RAJ.

Which really has nothing to do with America, hence American schools don't teach about it.

Huh. Never actually knew about that.

[The Sotoan Union]

There's just a lot of downright bigotry in your post.

[Kubra]

I ain't never seen any indian or pakistani films to my knowledge

They covered that in more depth than they did the British Empire.

Funny. I'm actually about to test over that.
