Seeing India through my eyes (JUNE)

What does India look in my eyes?

A question that is never been asked before. According to what I learnt about India is that it’s a part of us, a part of land with generous people we lost in political fights.
9 years ago India was an enemy to me, a country that only deserved to be hated because I was taught that Indians brutally kill Pakistani without any reason, they do not respect religions and they always cheated in fights and wars, and tried to take over to kill us. We were taught to hate every single Indian citizen who is a non-Muslim. Every year we were taught that those who killed Indians and destroy their worship places are our heroes and those who supported them are traitors to Pakistan and Muslims, but now I came to know that it was all political game, not every person is supposed to be hated and not every chapter is supposed to be believed, because real truths are never taught and you only have to explore them all by yourself. In our schools and colleges history was all out INDIA and PAKISTAN fights, a fake history created by education ministries.

How can two countries be enemies when they share almost same language, cultures, food and choices? In my opinion that person can be your best friend who shares a lot of similarities with you.
Now coming towards stereotypes, the most common stereotypes we heard about Indian’s are;

1: cow are always in street without any one surveillance.
2: Indian’s drink cow’s urine.
3: Indian families burns women alive after their husband’s death.
4: Indian are always dirty and they never clean their selves.
5: Literacy rate in India is very low, and people there are illiterate at its peak.
6: They used to divide people according to cast and do not respect people from different casts.

These are the most common stereotypes we use to hear about Indians, and people here believe in all the stereotypes.
