Essay / Cultural differences between India and Pakistan
Cultural differences have been the most influential sources of conflict in world history. These cultural differences result from the lack of understanding between the parties involved (Gumperz, 1998). However, deliberately acquired cultural awareness is the best weapon to overcome negative factors resulting from cultural differences (Wunderle, 2006). The objective of this mission is to contrast the cultural difference between India and Pakistan. Then show how these differences cause conflicts. Finally, to describe a volatile situation between the two countries and how it could have been resolved peacefully. A closer look at India and Pakistan reveals several similarities between the two countries, such as their facial and skin features and attributes. However, one of the most defining cultural differences between the two countries is that they are home to two very different ethnicities. Arabs and Indians are two very different types of people, with different cultures and different perspectives regarding life. The Arab community adheres to a very demanding way of life while the values of the Indian community vary according to personal preferences (Mohmand, 2009). According to Wunderle (2006), Arab consciousness and pride in the historical ranking of Arab influence on the world has been a major driving force towards certain risky attitudes that the Arab community displays towards other ethnic groups. In fact, a closer look at history shows that the Arab community has been established since the Middle Ages and has lasted for over 700 years (Mohmand, 2009). Religion is another huge cultural difference between India and Pakistan. India is a very religiously tolerant country because it is home to a lot of paper... India and Pakistan are different ethnically and religiously, and both have different ideas about governance. Peaceful intervention in their current border struggles has proven very difficult as the situation has been largely marked by bloodshed. Therefore, strong military intervention from outside is the only way to bring both sides to humiliate each other. Works Cited: Gumperz, John J. (1998).
