You cant tell them apart by looking at them. They speak the same language. They have similar cultures. Some Indian restaurants are run by Pakistanis. So yes, i would say that they live in good harmony. No politics to create rifts between the communities. At least none that i have seen or am aware of. @Poonam – In the US, Indians/Pakistani are really the same race. You cant tell them apart by looking at them. They speak the same language.

We see this Indian-Pakistani duo a lot in Bolly movies that are trying to depict US. How true is this cliche? As soon as I erad name Nayeem, I knew he had to be Pakistani.

The only advice I would give is if you have Pakistani friends don't meet with them during the Indo-Pak cricket match.It is a pleasure otherwise to talk to people from the subcontinent. //Make runs, not war// well said.

But i never felt anything but at home in the shop with familiar indian brands of goods. That shop did a lot for me to deter my severe homesickness. The cashier was a very kind gentleman and was both curtious and respectful. Sometimes i feel that since the time we are born, we are fed on so much hatred by everything around us that we forget to keep an open mind.
