You're right. For Pakistanis and most Muslims Hinduism is a non-issue. What they worship is for them to decide. However, India and Hindu lives seem to revolve around Islamophobia. They elect the most violent anti-Muslim politicians, like Modi, the Butcher of Gujarat. Every time there are elections the campaign against Indian Muslims and Pakistan goes up. So, it's mostly a one-way hate fest.

India asks IMF to review loans to Pakistan, Indian government source says
NEW DELHI/KARACHI, May 2 (Reuters) - India has asked the International Monetary Fund to review loans disbursed to Pakistan, an Indian government source told Reuters on Friday, as tensions between the South Asian neighbours escalated following a deadly attack in Kashmir.India and Pakistan have announced a raft of measures after an attack on Hindu tourists in Indian Kashmir last week killed 26 men and there is a fear that the latest crisis between the nuclear-armed rivals could spiral into a military conflict.
New Delhi has identified the three attackers, including two it says are Pakistani nationals, as "terrorists". Islamabad has denied any role and called for a neutral investigation.
India suspended a critical river water sharing treaty and the two countries have closed their airspace to each other's airlines.
Pakistan secured a $7 billion bailout programme from the IMF last year and was granted a new $1.3 billionclimate resilience loan in March.
The programme is critical to the $350 billion economy and Pakistan said it has stabilized under the bailout that helped it stave off a default threat.
India raised concerns with the IMF on its loans to Pakistan, asking for a review, a government source told Reuters without elaborating.
The IMF and India's finance ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The advisor to Pakistan's finance minister said the IMF programme is "well on track".
"The latest review has been done well and we are completely on track," advisor Khurram Schehzad, told Reuters, adding that Pakistan had very productive spring meetings with financial institutions in Washington.
"We did about 70 meetings ... interest has been very high for investing and supporting Pakistan as the economy turns around," Schehzad said.
The soaring tensions between the two countries has drawn global attention and calls for cooling tempers.
U.S. Vice President JD Vance said on Thursday that Washington hoped Pakistan would cooperate with India to hunt down Pakistan-based assailants.Muslim-majority Kashmir is claimed in full by both Hindu-majority India and Islamic Pakistan, but each rules it in parts.
While New Delhi accuses Pakistan of backing an uprising in Indian Kashmir since 1989, Pakistan says it only offers diplomatic and moral support to a Kashmiri demand for self-determination.

What I find kind of ironic is the chagrin taken on the Indian side after the army chief's speech at the Overseas Pakistanis convention. They were doing hai, hai about the CoAS calling out the distinction between Muslims and Hindus as being two different nations.
In reality, it is the Indian RSS/BJP masses (each election proves the Indian citizenry is increasingly turning more fundamentalist) that have championed the "otherization" of Muslims in India as a distinctly different people from the majority. They have spared no opportunity to spew vitriolic propaganda to make sure Muslims in India are seen as others. This 15 year long overt effort, and covertly prior, has seen Muslims being ostracized, marginalized, with names of Muslim era landmarks being changed, Muslims being harassed, hounded and their Mosques and homes destroyed etc.

Because the Pakistani minorities are just 4%. They are insignificant and thus our political landscape largely ignores them. The white part of our flag should honestly be much thinner.
On the other hand, there is a sizeable Muslim population in India. Not only that, it is multiplying faster than the Hindus in their own country. I think they fear a future where the Muslim 'minority' of India reaches 35-40% of their total population. Hence the paranoia and things like accusations of 'love jihad'.

It could have been IK or anyone else in the Pakistani government saying the same. Does not change the situation on the ground in India.Really ?
or were they doing hai-hai because overseas Pakistanis are overwhelmingly pro IK and don't like the guy.?

India’s strategic aims are out in the open. They want to suffocate Pakistan’s economy and throw our stability into disarray. From sabotaging CPEC and backing militant outfits like the TTP and BLA, to lobbying the IMF against us and menacing the Indus Water Treaty, their intentions couldn’t be clearer. Now is the time for Pakistan to retaliate. Step up efforts to undercut Indian diplomacy and, if necessary, reclaim Kashmir. With the U.S. preoccupied elsewhere, we can’t count on it to come to India’s defense.

This is good news for two reasons
1) Indians now desperate, war off the table so they are going for diplomatic/economic means but they do not have the clout of China/US
2) Pak just had its first fiscal surplus in 25 years, IMF deal is done and we actually do not need it anymore
Indians are now f**ked.....
