Is it true when Pakistanis go abroad they claim they are Indians?

巴基斯坦人出国时会自称印度人，真的吗？

以下是Quora网友的评论：

I had a rather strange experience with a Pakistani in Sweden.

I went to a night club with my local friend. I found a guy with wheatish complexon trying to hit on girls. I overheard that he introduced himself as Vicky from Mumbai to girls. I bumped into him while coming out of washroom. Greeted him and introduced myself and told him I was from India, to my surprise he introduced himself as Waqar from FATA, Pakistan. I asked him was he not Vicky. He said no.

He replied, “All girls will run away, if I told them that I am from Pakistan.”

我在瑞典跟一个巴基斯坦人发生过一段非常奇葩的经历。

我和当地朋友去一家夜总会玩。我发现一个小麦色皮肤的男人在勾搭女孩子。我无意中听到他向女孩们介绍自己来自孟买的维姬。我从洗手间出来时碰到他，跟他打了招呼，做了自我介绍，告诉他我也来自印度，但令我震惊的是，他说自己叫瓦卡尔，来自巴基斯坦联邦直辖区。我问他不是来自维姬吗？他说不是。

他是这么说的：“如果我告诉这些女孩我来自巴基斯坦，她们转头就跑了。”

Oh yes, they do ! I was visiting London and went into a small eatery around London Eye. The guy there started speaking in Hindi with us and was selling wraps / rolls. He made us one that we asked for and there were several other customers (from different countries). He was happily saying this is Indian flat bread made of wheat(Chapati ) to the visitors and claimed it is a specialty from his country. Many menu items listed out had the name ‘India’ in it.

是的，他们会这么干的！我有一次在伦敦旅游，走进了伦敦眼附近的一家小餐馆。餐馆里的人开始用印地语和我们说话，一边兜售卷饼。他给我们做了一个我们要的饼，店里还有其他几位客人(来自不同的国家)。他很高兴地对游客说，这是用小麦做的印度扁面包恰巴提，说这是他的祖国的特色。菜单上列出的许多菜名也都带有“印度”这个词。

The crowd reduced and he sold us ‘Indian Chai’ also :) We were walking out of the eatery and a family came in for lunch. By their attire, we could recognize them as Muslims. The guy at the counter suddenly changed his accent, rather language and started socializing with them. He asked where were they from and they said Lahore. He said I am from Rawalpindi and continued talking :)

We were amazed by his skills and thought he is using the name of India everywhere and he is from our neighboring country !

客人散开了，他还卖了印度茶给我们喝。我们走出餐馆时，有一家人进来吃午饭。从他们的着装来看，我们认出他们是MSL。那个人突然换了口音，开始和他们交流。他问他们来自哪里，他们回答拉合尔。他就说我来自拉瓦尔品第。

我们对他的这种本事感到惊讶，他一直拿着印度的招牌揽生意，结果他是我们邻国人！

Kishore I Thammaiah

Yes true.

In 2014, I was on a business trip in Barcelona and was looking for beer at around 11:30 pm. Shops were closed and I sat on a bench outside my Hotel and was smoking. A man in his 50s came and sat next to me. He asked (in Hindi) me whether I wanted weed. I said no, but I wanted beer.

He quickly went to one of his friends next street and got me 2 cans (he did not charge me extra).

I asked whether he is from Pakistan (because I knew there are many Pakistanis in Barcelona. They own super markets and some of them do petty businesses) He said no and he is from India.

没错，是真的。

2014年我去巴塞罗那出差，晚上11点半左右我出门买啤酒。商店都关门了，我坐在酒店外的长凳上抽烟。一个50多岁的男人走过来坐在我旁边。他(用印度语)问我要不要大麻。我拒绝了，但我想来点啤酒。

他马上就去隔壁街的一个朋友那里给我买了两罐(他没有多收我钱)。

我问他是不是巴基斯坦人(因为我知道巴塞罗那有很多巴基斯坦人。他们开超市，有些人做些小生意)。他说不是，他来自印度。

Me: Oh great, from where in India?

He: Punjab

Me: Where in Punjab?

He: (Started thinking)

Me: What's your name?

He: (after clearing his throat) Raja Singh

Me: Who is CM of Punjab now?

He: I don't know it's been 10 years since I am in Spain

Me: okay, thank you for the beer. ‘Good night'

I don't know why, but many Pakistanis claim they are Indian while in abroad

我：哦，太好了，你是印度哪儿的？

他：旁遮普

我：旁遮普邦哪里？

他：(开始思考)

我：你叫什么名字？

他：(他清了清喉咙)拉贾·辛格

我：现在谁是旁遮普邦的首席部长？

他：我不知道，我来西班牙已经有10年了。

我：好的，谢谢你的啤酒。晚安。

我不知道原因，但国外有很多巴基斯坦人都说自己是印度人。

Ravi Adhav

It is true, and I have experienced it in Canada.

The first time you ask a wheatish guy, from where does he come?

He replies, “From India”. When you ask, which part of India, he reluctantly says, “From Pakistan”. I guess that the Pakistanis find themselves ashamed to reveal their identity esp after 9/11, which saw their reputation being destroyed.

On the other hand, Indians have over years built a great reputation as hard working, highly-qualified, highly intelligent bunch.

Since Indians and Pakistani look alike, the Pakistanis try to hide their identity as Pakistani and try to cash in the Indian repute.

这是真的，我在加拿大也经历过。

你问一个小麦色皮肤的人，他是从哪里来的？

他会回答说：“我来自印度”。如果你问他来自印度的哪个地区时，他就会不情愿地坦白，“我来自巴基斯坦”。我猜巴基斯坦人不好意思承认自己的身份，尤其在9/11之后，巴基斯坦的名声一败涂地。

另一方面，多年来，印度人因为工作努力、高素质、高智商而获得了良好声誉。

因为印度人和巴基斯坦人长得很像，所以巴基斯坦人掩盖自己巴基斯坦人的身份，还利用印度的声誉来赚钱。

Geetanjali Sharma

Right in the middle of central London, there is a restaurant named Bangalore Express. If you’re a homesick tourist and a vegetarian, the first thing you do is find Indian Restaurants. It’s not the easiest task in mainland Europe but in England, it’s very very easy.

就在伦敦市中心，有一家名叫Bangalore Express的餐厅。如果你想家了，如果你是素食者，你要做的第一件事就是寻找印度餐馆。在欧洲大陆，这不是一件容易的事，但在英国，这非常非常容易。

It’s a nice cute place and eating there is a lot like you’re eating and sharing food in an Indian Train. Bollywood music was playing as well. They had everything ranging from Paneer Tikka, Palak Paneer, Aloo Matar, Dosa (ultimate love <3) and even pineapple Raita. I was way beyond impressed by the variety and it literally smelt like any restaurant in India. There were a lot of British people eating Dosa with a fork which was just very foreign to me. But hey, I was in a foreign country to start of with. My mouth was salivating and i ordered plenty of food. When we started chatting with the waiter, he politely told us that he is from our estranged twin, Pakistan and this restaurant was owned by a Pakistani chef. I was happy. The food was delicious. Just thinking about it makes me salivate again.

这是一个很可爱的地方，在那里吃饭就像在印度火车上用餐、分享食物，那里还会播放宝莱坞音乐。他们有各种各样的奶酪，印度奶酪、帕拉克奶酪、咖喱土豆烩青豆甚至菠萝奶酪，品种之多给我留下了深刻的印象，店里的味道闻着就像印度餐馆。有很多英国人用叉子吃印度薄饼，这对我来说倒很新鲜。但是我这是在国外啊，得慢慢习惯。我满嘴流口水，点了很多食物。当我们和服务员聊天时，他礼貌地告诉我们，他来自与我们关系疏远、一母同胞的巴基斯坦，这家餐厅的老板也是一位巴基斯坦厨师。我很开心，食物很美味，光是想想我就又流口水了。

Oh yes, he had a restaurant with a very Indian sounding name but I guess it’s because Indian food is more widely known. This was just one incident in London. We had a similar incident in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where another Indian Restaurant named Bombay Masala was run by a Pakistani couple. I haven't really come across any incident where Pakistani people say they are Indians except in case of restaurants.

哦，是的，他那家餐厅的名字听起来很印度，但我猜这是因为印度菜的知名度更广。这是我在伦敦遇到过的经历。我在路易斯安那州的巴吞鲁日也遇到过类似的情况，那里有一家名叫Bombay Masala的印度餐馆，老板是一对巴基斯坦夫妇。我本人还没有遇到过巴基斯坦人冒充印度人的事（除了上述餐馆）。

Prashant Sinha

Here in Belgium, Charleroi.. we have a restaurant named “Bombay Restaurant” with photo of Taj Mahal in it. The play bollywood songs all the time.

I got friendly with the owner, waiter and other staff and they told me that they are from Pakistan. They told me that they kept the name as Bombay Restaurant as people from other countries as well recognizes this name easily and assume that food will be good.

They are nice people and food is good as well, if not great.

在比利时的沙勒罗伊有一家名叫“孟买餐厅”的餐厅，店里张贴着泰姬陵的照片，一直播放宝莱坞歌曲。

我跟店主、服务员和其他工作人员都很友好，他们告诉我他们来自巴基斯坦，说他们起名孟买餐厅是因为其他国家的人很容易看懂，会觉得食物肯定很好吃。

他们是很好的人，食物也很好吃。

Kshitij Jhangra

There is a restaurant in Swindon - Wiltshire named Biplob.

They claim that it is an Indian restaurant. But in reality they are Bangladeshi. I went there once and tried to communicate with them in Hindi but failed.

I finished my food and one of the waiter was staring at me as he was waiting for me to finish my meal. As soon as I finished my meal, he put the bill as he was politely asking me to leave the restaurant.

在斯温顿威尔特郡有一家名叫Biplob的餐厅。

他们说这是印度餐馆，但其实他们是孟加拉国人。我去过一次，想用印地语和他们交谈但失败了。

我吃完饭，一个服务员一直盯着我等我吃完。我一吃完饭，他就把账单放在桌上，礼貌地请我离开餐厅。

Verdict, yes on the name of India many people are running their businesses.

Edit: Based on the people’s reaction, I would clear one thing, that there is no harm in running an Indian restaurant by other communities but they should treat the customer in a best possible way. My problem was not the poppadom and bhatoora but the behavior of the waiter, as that felt me insulted.

是的，很多人打着印度的名号经营自己的企业。

编辑：看到大家的反应，我想澄清一件事，其他群体经营印度餐厅并没有坏处，但他们应该好好对待顾客。那个服务员的行为让我觉得受到了侮辱。

I’m an Indian, living in Europe. Thanks to my typical Asian looks! Everytime I come across a new foreigner friend, they ask me : ‘Where are your from? Pakistan or India?’. I tell them I’m from India, proudly. Many Pakistani’s who live abroad, especially US or Europe also must have encountered similar issues.

我是印度人，现在住在欧洲。因为我典型的亚洲长相，每次遇到新的外国朋友，他们走会问我：‘你从哪里来？巴基斯坦还是印度？”我自豪地告诉他们我来自印度。许多居住在国外的巴基斯坦人，特别是居住在美国或欧洲的人，肯定也遇到过类似的问题。

I got classmates from Pakistan. They are proud to say that they are from Pakistan. I have quite often noticed the way their eyes lit up when they mention about their economic/technological growth(yes, even I never thought Pakistan would grow after all the Terrorist mess). All of my Pakistani classmates are hel and kind. Also they are IIT level geeks; smart and intelligent.

I don’t think all men would prefer to win a fake nationality. We are proud to say that we are from India. Aren’t we? Likewise, I personally belive that a genuine person would never put one’s home country down. No matter what the history or past of that country is!

我也有巴基斯坦同学，他们也会自豪地介绍自己来自巴基斯坦。当他们提到巴基斯坦的经济/技术增长时，我常常看到他们的眼睛闪闪发光(是的，我从来没有想过巴基斯坦在经历了恐怖主义的混乱之后还能实现增长)。我所有的巴基斯坦同学都很友善，乐于助人。他们也是学神水平的极客，非常聪明。

在我看来，不是所有人都愿意假冒国籍。我们自豪地说，我们来自印度。不是吗？同样，我认为一个真诚的人是不会撇下自己的祖国的，不管祖国经历过什么样的历史或过去曾经是什么模样！

Rashi Garg

Yes.

Even there are many restaurants by the name of India which are not run by Indians. We have been in one such restaurant(Indian Jewel) in Prague where we could easily figure it out by the staff’s accent and attire.

It makes my belief in Karma more strong because of the fact that the people who criticise India in every possible way are dependent on the same India for their livelihood.

是的。

有很多餐馆都打着印度的名号，但老板不是印度人。我们在布拉格就遇到过一家这样的餐厅(印度宝石)，我们很快就通过员工的口音和服装发现了这个问题。

这让我更相信因果报应了，因为那些人用各种可能的方式抨击印度，但却要依赖印度来获得生计。

Bilal Ahmad Rafique

This is true to some extent. Main reason for this is the current political situations of the Muslim world. I have heard friends saying that Indian Muslims are still bearable in the US and EU but Pakistani Muslims are looked at with suspicion mostly. And lets face it, the blame lies totally on Pakistani people to have conceived this reputation for themselves.

在某种程度上确实如此，主要原因在于目前MSL世界的政治局势。我曾听朋友说，印度MSL在美国和欧盟还是被人认可的，但巴基斯坦MSL大多会招人怀疑。让我们面对现实吧，这种现象全赖巴基斯坦人民自己，巴基斯坦人给自己造成了这般不堪的名声。
