Uncovering the Origins of Pakistan's Deep-Rooted Hatred Towards Hindus
Republic World ^

Posted on 01/10/2026 12:09:00 PM PST by nickcarraway

Get Me Right: Pakistan’s deep-rooted hatred towards Hindus traces back centuries, with medieval Islamic reform movements laying the ideological foundation for its current mindset. Movements like Deobandi, Wahabi, and Salafi played a key role in fostering radicalism, embedding extremism into the nation's psyche. Pakistan’s creation was deeply influenced by Islamic revivalism, and this continues to shape its policies and social fabric. General Asim Munir, madrasa-trained, represents this ideological thread, aligning with the mindset of Pahalgam terrorists through the shared “Kalma test.” Today, groups like the Taliban and ISIS fight over the definition of “true Islam,” further fueling extremism. Pakistan’s tolerance and normalization of radicalism have led to its coexistence with terror, resulting in the sheltering of over a score of terrorist organizations within its borders.

“Uncovering the Origins of Pakistan’s Deep-Rooted Hatred Towards Hindus”

Simple: Hindus are not Muslims. QED.

Yep. They hate everyone who ain’t. Infidels they call non-muslims. Their good book, the koran, says kill, convert or tax those that don’t submit, since the beginning. So....why is anyone surprised who ever read a history book? I forgot, they haven’t taught history in Western schools, for say, 80 yrs or so, except hate Nazis (ok), look the other way with Commies and as for muslims, well, who are they? The price is going to be steep, believe me. 1,400 yrs of their existence says so. Spit.

Oh, the Protestants hate the Catholics
And the Catholics hate the Protestants
And the Hindus hate the Muslims
And everybody hates the Jews

A student assistant at the university library where I used to work was from India. After one of the Islamic terrorist actions against an American she said in India Hindus (her) and Muslims have hated each other for hundreds of years. She said the Muslims claimed “just let us found Pakistan as our place and we’ll never bother the rest of India again. Then, she said the Bangladesh concert of people weeping and refugees needing fundraising was about yet another “just one place” for Muslims.

She said “In India when something like this happened (terrorist killing a few Americans) people would get mad.”

I said: “We’re mad, too.”
She laughed.
“No, I mean mad. A few months ago Muslims with automatic weapons stopped a bus and trapped the people inside and set fire to it, burning them all to death. A few hours later any Muslims recognized in the cities were pulled out of their car and beaten and sometimes their arms and legs cut off. That’s being angry.”

Gee… I’d bet it started when the muslims moved into India, but the Hindus kept them from taking it all and eventually kicked them out.

Sounds like Europe.

I have never heard that and have been a Protestant all my life.   I was a counselor at a Catholic boys home.   I watched the Watergate Hearings with two other counsellors and Father Hogan.   I had a comparative religions course in college with one class that had a Catholic Priest describe his vestments and the history and purpose.   I attended a Catholic marriage and a Catholic funeral.

And lo and behold, we all say the same Apostles' Creed as the "symbol of faith", Catholics and Protestants alike, which states our belief in "the holy catholic Church."

No hate.

The question should rather be “Uncovering the Origins of Hindu’s Deep-Rooted Hatred Towards Muslim Pakistanis”

The answer would be: The Mughal Conquest of South Asia - the bloodiest genocide in the history of the world.

There are no stable relations between muslims and non-Muslims anywhere.

Origins of Pakistan’s Deep-Rooted Hatred Towards Hindus


can be found by a simple reading of the hadiths and sunnahs as well as the koran. Mo’s directive is simple - kill everyone who is not us.

the muslim religion has only existed for 1400 years

so at some point in the past 1400 years a mass partially successful conversion attempt was made on the people living in India. No doubt there were unforgivable excesses in the process

It was meant to be a humorous song.

Historically, there have been wars between Protestant nations and Catholic nations. I phrase it that way, because wars happen. When it does, religion can be dragged into it. Someone who knows history is welcomed to elaborate.

Jews suffered pogroms in parts of Europe. That might not be so simple either. One expert on tax history suggested that it was about taxes. The king thought the Jews were holding out. The Jews insisted otherwise. Government enforcement consisted of riling up the citizenry. It reminds me of the KKK as the enforcement arm of the Democratic party.

Something is missing here. Do Hindus have any real friends? They have their shortcomings amongst rational thinkers. I’ll leave it up to you intellectuals out there to point out the specifics.
