Wrong Spinny, I know a very famous Indian Tennis star from my home town and a very famous Pakistani cricketer who are not just glad to meet each other but are happily married to each other! LOL

well I don't think normal indians and pakistanis have anything against each other, in fact my friend who is in US since last 4-5 years tells me that in the US, the Indians, the Pakistanis and the Bangladeshis actually feel very happy to be in each others company and they refer to each other as "Desi" rather than by nationality.

My relative who is in US since a very long time now married a Pakistani boy just a couple of years ago and I don't know what is the nationality of their baby, Indian or Pakistani?

It has mostly been a pleasure meeting Indians - you are generally welcome there. And it is not only about Sam, i would have been as glad to meet any of the Indian members be it Kiran. Dips or Raj. Rather, Raj is one guy whom I want to meet more badly.

Needless to say, anyone of you guys ever plan to visit any part of Pakistan - I am just a message away - you will be taken good care of. Although, I know that is not going to happen anytime soon :(

 Yane vishesha kiranki.  I'd worked in Bangalore for close to two years after my Engineering, picked up on a little bit of kannada, very little though. People told me that most words similar in all four Dravidian languages. True that but I still found it a little tough to cope initially. Guess Kannada more liken to Telugu and Tamil to Malayalam. 

 And very true most people down south do not converse all that well in Hindi. Bangalore and Hyderbad being the exceptions. Least spoken in Kerala and Tamil Nadu.

There are many people in my state who cannot understand or speak Hindi, yes Hyderabad is an exception, in fact I think Hyderabad also has the most number of Urdu speaking people as well, my grand father was a renowned Urdu poet who has received awards even from the president of India (back in the 90's). Most people in south India are not very good in Hindi, but if you go north you cannot survive without Hindi.

Mumbai is a beautiful place where in you'll find people speaking all types of languages.

That's amazing. Then again, English seems to be more of a lingua franca in India. Everyone with reasonable education levels speaks it as a 2nd language, so you can use it when speaking to those from different states.

How often do they use English as a language of instruction in Indian and Pakistan schools?

No Zuhair. I can only understand some very very basic words.
 
Not many people in the 4 states of South India (which constitutes almost 30 crores) knows Hindi (specially our generation). Hyderabad is one exception in AP I guess. the current younger generation is exposed more to Hindi channels, so slightly better than us.
 
The advantage of that though is that, people here generally speak better English since we speak in English with people from other states. Even among the Indian cricketers you would have seen. Dravid/Kumble/Srinath/Laxman speak better English than Sehwag/RP Singh/Harbhajan and co. People from Mumbai (west) speak both the languages reasonably well.
