Anti-Pakistan sentiment or Pakistanophobia, is a term defined by political scientists and media as a diverse spectrum of ostensible "prejudices, dislike or fear" of the state of Pakistan, its culture, people or its government. The concept exists throughout several countries, including India, Afghanistan, the Western world and the Arab world. The first recorded use of the pejorative and racist term "Paki" was in the United Kingdom. According to the Pakistani narrative, Anti-Pakistani sentiment can also be found in other Western countries including the United States. Its opposite is Pakophilia.
Foreign governments, peoples and even media outlets are routinely accused by Pakistani nationalists of displaying Anti-Pakistan sentiment.
India
Jaswant Singh, former Minister of Finance and key member of BJP, published the Jinnah: India-Partition-Independence on 17 August 2009. Singh argued that it was Nehru, not Jinnah, whose centralized polity was responsible for partition. He was later expelled from the primary membership of BJP as a result of the ensuing controversy. His book was later banned in Gujarat. Simultaneously, the common people of Pakistan have shown a great affinity for Indian culture, music, TV programming and consumer goods, which conflicts with the official narrative.
Many nationalist Indian Muslims also have anti-Pakistan sentiments.
In 2004, a Pakistani newspaper article stated that some Indian Bollywood films depict Pakistan in a hostile manner by portraying certain anti-Pakistan stereotypes.
