Things Pakistani like about India:

1. Bollywood

I remember villagers from nearby areas used to travel to my town to rent a VCR, collection of Bollywood movies and Chitrahar (a cassatte entirely dedicated to songs.) This is a tiny example, it continues till today.

2. Taj Mahal

It is dream of many Pakistanis to visit this place.

3. Tv Commercials

What an Idea sir jee… Tum Chalo to Hindustan Chalay… Dimagh ki batti jala day… 🙂 In Pakistan we love the tv commercials made in India.

4. Food

Pakistan is rich in food variety, but our love for food is bigger than availability. So we look to Indian Foods. 🙂

5. Star Plus TV

No comment, widely watched by most of Aunties today. Young guys are also getting in.

6. Amir Khan

Love for bollywood is not limited to movies. We talked about Amitabh Bachan, Shahrukh Khan, but now Amir Khan has taken the lead.

7. Indian Cricket Bating

Cricket, there is no doubt every living being in both countries is crazy for this game. It is every Pakistani’s dream to having the batting side similar to Indian cricket team.

I assume, Indians wants bowling like ours. Right?

8. Sikh

There is no particular reason for this love, it is not needed. Sikhs are widely respected in Pakistan for their Punjabi accents, and being obvious.

9. Wildlife

Nat Geo India is one of the most widely watched TV Channel in Pakistan. And it has surely brought two nations very closer to each other. Indian wildlife especially elephants and tigers are missed in Pakistan.

10. Saris

Who don’t love them? Pakistani tailors are always seeking to stitch like Indian Saris, because this is what their customers want. I personally love them a lot too.

Things Indians like about Pakistan:

Note: This is from my personal experience of working at Indo-Pak Peace Media.

1. Lahore

Put a discussion with any Indian, and he/she will put the word Lahore somewhere within five minutes. Lahore Lahore Ie.. (Lahore is Lahore)
Jinne Lahore Nhi Wekheya O Jammia Ie Nahi. (Who hasn’t seen Lahore, is not really born yet). It is perfect introduction of the city I live.

2. Coke Studio

Coke Studio (Pakistan), Facebook page has over 2 million likes just from India. And it is very popular for the fusion of Classic, Jazz and Cultural Music.

3. Hina Rabbani Khar

There is a question on Quora, ‘What are the things Pakistan is significantly better at than India?‘ And the top question is this picture, it has gotten nearly 600 votes too.

4. Khussa & Peshawri Chappal

No question on it. Indian love Pakistani shoes, especially the traditional Khussas and Peshawari Chappals. There is no comparison to these footwear, especially now when Chappal is worn with Jeans.

5. Truck Art

Like everyone, Indians are also crazy about the photos of Truck Art of Pakistan.

6. Sindhi Ajrak

Because of its demand in India, Ajrak made a place in the list. Sindhi Ajrak never fails to share happiness, spirituality, peace and culture. All in one. This is the reasons Indians love it too.

7. Food Street Lahore

May it is the Indian cricket team visiting Lahore, or you’re a tech guy. Food Street Lahore is a must go to place for every Indians in Lahore. Stories from the elders, who have been to the street, play a major role in this decision.’

And I have to say, it is perfect combination of Food + Lahore + Culture + Life.

8. Handicrafts

Pakistani handicrafts are very well known among all the tourists because of their unique style, approach and making. So they are must to check among Indians when they’re in Pakistan.

9. Wagah Border

You knew it! This picture tells it all.

10. Northern Areas

K2, The Kaghan Valley, Murree, Neelum and Azad Kashmir are like a new world in this world. These are not just an other Hill Station, but you can one of your most life changing experience.
