India Pak cultures

The two countries of Asia were isolated in 1947. India Pak, the two big nations with two dissimilar cultures. The religions were also divergent which the main reason for their partition was. These countries are Pakistan and India.  In Indo-Bharat still, Muslims survive and follow Islamic rules but they have some divergences from Pakistani cultures. After separation, India and Pakistan became the two biggest rivals of each other.

Language differences

Hindustan has much linguistics but, Hindi is the most popular and official language whereas, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has two or three lingos but Urdu is their official language. Indian students learn Urdu in colleges as well but, Pakistanis do not have a Hindi subject to learn it. But a few Pakistanis learn Hindi by themselves. Hindi and Urdu linguistics are almost identical, in vocalizing but very different in writing and reading. That is why the Pakistani nation needs to show an interest in writing Hindi.

India Pak Outfits

India Pak outfits are similar. Indian females wear their traditional dress saree and men wear shalwar kameez or dhoti kurta. On the other hand, Pakistani females keep with their traditional shalwar kameez including shawls, and males also have the same outfits but without shawls, men’s dresses are mostly simple whereas girls do some designing with them. Additionally, Asian hairs and dressings are identical.

Weddings of India Pak

They both have nearly similar wedding cultures. The Indian community initially set engagement before a few months of matrimony then arranges functions of Mayo, Mehndi, Baraat, and Reception. The Republic nation also has the same celebrations for weddings with slight dissimilarities. The Muslims from both lands celebrate Mayo and Mehndi functions with Ubtan and Mehndi applied on girls’ hands and Hinduism has the same rituals.

      On the day of Baraat, the main day of a marriage, the Hindu people do seven circles around the fire whereas Muslims obey religious principles like “Nikah”. Their reception is the same, the groom’s family invites people for celebrations and enjoyment with meals.

Food difference

Indo-Bharat has a mixed culture but most are Hindu and Muslim and fewer are Christians or atheists. Hinduism has a distinctive food civilization people like Brahamins, eat only vegetables and legumes, whereas Kshatriyas, Vaishyas, and Shudras can dine with chicken and mutton. But they all do not eat beef as slaughtering a cow is prohibited in India.

However, Pakistani food is almost similar to Indian food but Pakistanis can eat cow meat, goat, sheep, and chicken meats but it should be halal food. The Pakistani nation also eats vegetables and legumes. That was also the purpose of the India Pak isolation which slaughtering cows was forbidden in Indo-Bharat. They still believe a cow is their mother.

Casts and class systems

 In Indo-Bharat, the Hindu community has four types of casts and classes like ‘Brahamins’ which are the superior ones. They believe they came from the head of their god. ‘Kshatriyas’ are warriors, they are honest and courageous and become soldiers. Their rank is in second place and third place is ‘Vaishyas’. They are merchants and farmers, and according to ‘Hinduism theology’ they are ‘twice-born’ or spiritual birth. The last class, the lowest is “Shudras’ the laborers. They should serve all the three higher classes and may be beaten. But Indian Muslims do not have these types of casts and classes of humans.

However, the Pakistani nation does not have these types of upper and lower classes. They have some distinctive casts like Awan, Rajpoot, Jat and Gujjar. No one is superior and no one is inferior at all.

Religious principles

The main difference was religious divergence which separated both nations. In Indo-Bharat, Hindus have a lot of gods, such as elephants, snakes, monkeys, cows, Seeta Geeta, ram, and many others. They have divergent religious principles according to their gods and beliefs. On the other hand, the Republic people do not have many gods, they believe only in Allah and MUHAMMAD (s, a, w) but they have two categories which are Sunni and Shia. They have identical beliefs about Allah And Muhammad (s, a, w). Yes, religion was the main issue for the isolation of India Pak.

Due to all these cultural divergences India and Pakistan were separated in 1947 which Hindus have not admitted yet. Muslims are blissful with Pakistan but still, the Islamic Republic is not a well-developed country as it comes in the list of terrorists whereas Indo-Bharat has more esteem worldwide. But the Muslims and the Hindus are very dissimilar from each other.
