> Pakistan was perceived as a secular state by its founders, even if that's not how it panned out. Good story you tell yourselves. Start a country based on religion, and then act surprised that it turned religious. This is your second prime minister "I do not agree that religion is a private affair of the individual nor do I agree that in an Islamic state every citizen has identical rights, no matter what his caste, creed or faith be ... — Governor-General Khawaja Nazimuddin, 1948–49, [33]" > I know that before Modi, even my religious but western-educated Pakistani friends would point to India and say we should be like them. Not so any more. I agree that india's going down a dark path and Pakistan should aim for better. Btw, India is still better than Pakistan for rights of its citizens. > Something has changed in India in the last decade - blaming an event from three generations ago does Indians and their intelligence a disservice Saying that they are well meaning and fooled by modi also does the same disservice. There is distrust of Muslims, even Indian ones. Why would there not be? They demanded a partition decades ago, and still hold on to communal Sharia laws. Such historical events are not and should not be easily forgotten, do we forget the holocaust and not criticize white nationalism? Add to the fact that Pakistan has constantly delved in terrorism. You said something changed in last decade, maybe because Pakistan committed the Bombay attack in 2008?
