One member of town council was recently quoted as referring to Indian and Pakistani residents of town as basically being the same people with same culture. He can't understand the angry reactions of the Indian and Pakistani residents. You need to send an e-mail to the mayor and town council in order to explain exactly why this statement is not acceptable. Include the following issues:
Explain the cultural differences between India and Pakistan.
Give an overview of the history of conflict between India and Pakistan, in order to explain why these two countries in particular would not want to be considered interchangeable.
Address the question of how Indian and Pakistani communities relate to each other within the United States.
