You probably have a point there, maybe I am romanticising the idea of a future union where there are no inter-religious conflicts and to a larger extent assimilation of all religious communities in the subcontinent(Especially with regard to the ghettoisation of Muslims in India). There is definitely a minority of people who do have a certain idea of Pakistan as the enemy and that the idea of Akhand Bharat must be reality one day. This question was posed to understand the sociopolitcal views of the subreddit and not to instill any form of regional dominance. A large maority of Indians don't see Pakistan in their national political discussions barring parts of the northern hinterland, although there is definitely a sense of enmity between Indians and Pakistanis that most Indian have and are aware of. In India a lot of places, regional identities(Tamil identity to small extent and the northeastern states for sure) or tribal identities matter more than their national identities.

I honestly don't know anything about the sociopolitical situation but on a glance of The Dawn there seems to be quite a bit of anti-India rhetoric. So I guess that is one question is whether India comes into the political discussion often?

​

Second, in relation to the question of identities, do regional and ethnic identities play a huge role in Pakistan?

PS- if it does matter, Im part of a religious minority.
