Anti-Pakistani sentiment involves xenophobia, particularly dislike, grievance, suspicion, dehumanization, intimidation, fear, and/or hostility of the Pakistani people, Pakistani nation and/or Pakistani culture. Sometimes the term Pakistanophobia is also used [1]
Sentiments against Pakistan are viewed by some as commonplace in parts of South Asia, due to lingering resentment against Pakistan's own racism, prejudice, colonization, war crimes, aggression, and exploitations during, and after Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent. [2] Anti-Pakistani sentiments range from animosity towards the Pakistani government's actions and disdain for Pakistani culture to racism against the Pakistani people. [3] [4][5]
In the past, anti-Pakistani and anti-Muslim sentiment were synonymous with Hindus viewing Muslim people as invaders, occupiers, and barbaric, Holding them responsible for the Persecution of Hindus and for Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent, Sikhs held them responsible for the Martyrdom of Guru Tegh Bahadarislamophobia is also a major factor of pakistanphobia.Many Hindus pointed to the disparaging comments that were made by Muslim conquers, One such famous quote was made by the first Mughal emperor Babur wrote in the Bāburnāma:
| “ | Hindustan is a place of little charm. There is no beauty in its people, no graceful social intercourse, no poetic talent or understanding, no etiquette, nobility or manliness. The arts and crafts have no harmony or symmetry. There are no good horses, meat, grapes, melons or other fruit. There is no ice, cold water, good food or bread in the markets. There are no baths and no madrasas. There are no candles, torches or candlesticks"[6]. | ” |
however during the moghul period there was no pakistan this quote is used as a excuse by hindus to express pakistanphobia.
While passions have settled somewhat since Pakistan's defeat in the 1971 war, tempers continue to flare on occasion over the perception among some that the Pakistan government has made insufficient penance for the 1971 Bangladesh atrocities, or has sought to whitewash the history of these events. There also remains a great deal of hatred for past actions of Muslim conquerors who are revered as almost saints in Pakistani nationalism, The Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent,.Bollywood the film industry has also churned out countless anti pakistan movies to further deepen the already heavy pakistanphobia in India the portrayal of Muslims and Pakistanis in Indian movies gives a negative image to Indians who then perceive Pakistanis as their anti Pakistani movies portray.
