Hi,
I have this curiosity about how are the regions of India and Pakistan?
In short, I'm from Brazil, which is a large country, I have lived/visited about 5 provinces here, and I'm quite aware that they are very different from each other, in many aspects. I could say that in many essential things, they seem to be complete different lands; I could say that each of these provinces have a certain "feeling", a certain "ethic", a certain "world vision" or "expectations" which are completely different from each other, even having so much in common - language, religion, history, etc.
My guess, therefore, is that India/Pakistan being so large, that there are probably a similar situation, with regions being very different from each other. I know that differentiating regions can lead to issues like rivality, pejorative descriptions or evaluative ones, which is not what I look for. What I mean is that I don't think a place is "better" than other, just different, and I'm not looking for objective data like which one is richer, these kind of things could be find in Wikipedia, what I'm looking more is a certain description of what would be some "essential traits" of being in this place, of the people of this place, and that is hard to find descriptions online, though people that already lived there are probably aware of it.
So, that's sort of what I'm asking, tips about how would be different regions of India/Pakistan in their essential traits?
Thank you a lot for anyone that spends it's time to write, it might look as a silly question, but the truth is that I'm fascinated by India/Pakistan since I was a child, and researching from far on these terms are somehow important to me.
