In 1947 India won its independence and the whole country was celebrating, on the other hand, a new country Pakistan emerges and it kind of faded the happiness of a country where everyone fought for its freedom. Some people chose to move to the new country and some went there without their will or some reason or the other. Ever since, both the countries have fought many wars, have several ongoing disputes and have been famous as arch-rivals or even enemies around the World. While at first glance it may look like Pakistan and India have many dissimilarities which is true in different ways but on comparing the two countries many similarities are visible as well, keeping in mind both the countries had been existing as united subcontinent for centuries. Therefore, analysing the geography, climate, festivals, people and their life, culture, food, sports and music of the two countries makes for a unique comparison.

1. Food-

Both countries are famous worldwide for their delicious cuisines and spicy curries. No one in the world can beat the exquisite taste of our food. Both Indians and Pakistanis absolutely love Murgh Tikka, Amritsari Machhi, Afghani Chicken, Lahori Biryani, Sarson da saag, Lassi, Paranthe, Khamiri roti, Kheer, Jalebi, Laddoo, Imrati, Gajar ka halwa, Khubani ka meetha…. and I could go on and on.

11. Love for the other country:

While the government and the media show the hatred from India/Pakistan for the other country for their personal gain, they don’t show that a large number of masses love and respect the other neighbour country and its people. They connect with each other on more common things than differences.

India and Pakistan were once a whole country that loves each other without their differences because this is in the Tehzeeb of both the nation. Let us not fall under the hateful propaganda of the parties for their personal gain and spread love, peace and respect for each other.

Someone rightly said for India and Pakistan:

“दोनों एक ही माँ के बेटे हैं बस करवट करके लेटे हैं “
