Um... there was no "India" before 1947. So you can't say that everybody who lived on that land were Indians. All residents of, what is not known as the "Indian Subcontinent," were ruled by invaders. There was no such thing called "India."
in that same respect, how can anyone be considered Paki if there was no Pakistan at that time?
so, according to your logic, if someone, for example, SRK, even though he was born in India, is considered Paki because his father was born in an area that is present day Pakistan, although Pakistan didnt even exist at the time of his birth?
so SRK is Paki, even though he was born in India? but everyone who is descended from ppl that were inhabitants of present day Pakistan, even though at the time of their birth the country didnt exist, is considered Paki? does this hold true for Pakis born in India? for example, the Paki Punjabis who ran over to the Pakistan during the partition? or is everyone just Paki?
so you can be Paki without establishment of the country, but not Indian...okay....
Pakistani is a nationality, just like Indian. if you were born in India, you are Indian, not Paki.
