Pak textbooks build hate culture against India
Thomas P. Andrade,Toronto, Canada,says:I met many Pakistanis during my stay in the Mid-East Countries and now in Canada. Almost every Paki is under the impression that they have defeated India in all the wars between them. This makes them over-confident to fight again with India and "win" the war. They also think that Pak is one of the very advanced countries in the world in science & technology, much superior than India. I do feel that we can't change their mindset which is brainwashed at a very young age. [27 Dec, 2008 0358hrs IST] meantares,Germany,says:Stop this nonsense and continuous lying. What do you people in India do? You are brought up being taught to hate Muslims and see any person on earth as inferior to Indians. The war cry is coming from politicians in Delhi and the Indian media.  [27 Dec, 2008 0355hrs IST] Mahesh,USA,says:Thanks for some insight on how Pakistan is systematically educating its population to create hatred towards Hindus in general and India. Unfortunately for us even our own large chunk of Muslim population is made to believe the same thing by not some but many vested interests from muslim leadership. You are certainly not one of them for sure as I can not forget stand taken by you on Shahbano case and subsequently your leader Rajiv Gandhi deserted you for vote bank politics. We need more muslim leaders to come out without any fear for betterment of large chunk of muslim population in india.  [27 Dec, 2008 0350hrs IST] ali,lahore,says:i am pakistani, and i have never studied such things in our books.even though they do favor muslims and pakistans. but than it is same in every country of the world. shame on the person who wrote this piece of lies. [27 Dec, 2008 0346hrs IST] Rahul,Dubai,says:This seems to be truth behind the existing curcimstance ..But reading the article i guess the big picture is yet to be seen , these roots are hard to remove from the child who end up taking an unhumanatic approch to hatred which does not exist between people but only amongst the leaders. [27 Dec, 2008 0345hrs IST] Naeem,Canada,says:Wow, I am a Pakistani and went through the whole school system without coming across any anti hindu or anti indian bias? Did I go thorogh a diffrent Pakistani school sysytem or is the author of this article the person promoting hate by distorting facts? I wonder what is his objective. I just hope that sufficient numbers of Indians have visited Pakistan during the "friendship" period to realize that Pakistanis have the greatest of respect and admiration of all Indians and were deeply welcomed during their visits. This would not have happened if the school system and the "religon" promoted hate!!! Perhaps the author of this article is a bigot who does not even respect his own countrymen who are muslims by implicating religon. Smell like a Shive Sena or Hindutva to me.

At the end of all, its their brainwashed children who won't find a place in the world with such distorted foundation of the world history as Indian subcontinent is a world in itself.  [27 Dec, 2008 0335hrs IST] Arshad Ali,USA,says:What a lier ex-minister. I am also a Pakistani and never read anything like that in my text books. [27 Dec, 2008 0330hrs IST] Rakesh Arora,Santiago de Chile,says:We have to learn from the past and that is that we Indians should not take Pakistanis as our friend. Never ever trust them because they always have attacked from the back and never from the front. We should cut all our economic,social and cultural relations with them and should close our Embassies and consulates and forget about our neighbours.  [27 Dec, 2008 0325hrs IST]
