I'm a Pakistani American and I've worked well with many Indians. This is overcompensating.

  also as an Indian it's my experience that Pakistanis and Indians in foreign countries tend to hang together rather than separately, at least in the circles I've been a part of.

  I think Indians and Pakistanis quickly understand that outside their native countries they are probably the same and almost have similar culture/language/food.

    They do in their native countries as well, what changes when they leave is they leave behind a tense political rivalry that gets used in service of explaining the shortcomings of the respective countries. Without the political climate as background noise both parties tend to get along

    Another angle is that really nationalistic people don't tend to leave the country they love. I was happy to move to the US in part because I was pretty tired if my home country.

      Under-appreciated point about immigrants. My parents left Bangladesh because they weren’t huge fans of Bangladesh or Bangladeshis.
