In a recent tweet, Indian journalist Rajdeep Sardesai questioned Pakistan on why the nation had never invited famous Indian singers like Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhosle, or Kishore Kumar, even though it had welcomed Pakistani icons like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan and Mehdi Hassan.
However, historical evidence refutes the idea that cultural interchange between the two neighboring countries has been one-sided.
However, this assertion ignores Pakistan’s decades-long cultural exchanges and hospitality toward Indian performers, which include visits, performances, honors, and business partnerships with some of Bollywood’s most well-known figures.
Over the years, Pakistan has honored and invited numerous Indian artists, demonstrating that cultural ties are reciprocal rather than one-sided.
