@wound healer,
the problem with us pakistanis is that in trying to be MUSLIMS, we have started acting like ARABS...........we have lost our heritage and our culture and have always tried to adopt the ways of the ARABS..........we have our own culture and BASANT is the festival of the SUB-CONTINENT...........i think there is no harm in promoting the culture of the sub-continent, provided that we do it in a civilised manner............BASANT should be celebrated as a festival................look at the IRANIANS, they are muslims but they are also proud of their PERSIAN heritage................BASANT is not a hindu festival.............and it should not be considered as one too.............BASANT should be celebrated but with the necessary precautions............

Basant is a punjabi culture and not pakistani culture, this is promoted by govt of punjab to promote tourism for his province,,,,,,,,,, i am not against celebrating basant,,,,, but we should not call it pakistani culture,,,,it is as regional as bangra,,,,,,,,,,and hence cannot be called our culture,,,,,,,,,,, pesonally speaking, it is a hindu culture
