They're Pakistanis playing Indian music. This kind of music makes it more accessible to the general public as Indian music is more popular, and makes it seem like every brown person is from India. It's a gross inaccuracy. I know they're from Pakistan, but they chose to use music that's more assocatiated with Indians since India is more popular.
sharewrong
shareppl already cant differentiate b/w Hindus and Muslims and the music used in the trailer does not help

^^^it's more about between Indians and Pakistanis, but essentially you're right. They chose this sitar group to satisfy their own marketing interests (let's have Indian music, cuz that's what ALL brown's people's music is) and Pakistanis by having Pakistanis play Indian music. They couldn't use something more distinctly Pakistani cuz Hollywood thinks it's easier to stereotype all brown people as "Indian" or align all brown people with India as subtle racism since India used to be a British colony, and is most affiliated with white people.
Let's hope the film doesn't use more of this style of music. I'd prefer a traditional Hollywood score over Indian music.
are you seriously not aware that indian/pakistan were the same thing under the british raj?
shareI know, but Pakistan separated from their rule and went under a new name. I know India did too, but they stayed as India and didn't change the names of their major cities until much later.
Regardless...they're just using typical Indian music to represent all South Asian culture, when that's not the case.
But whatever, you seem to have an anti-Pakistani, anti-Muslim agenda here. I dunno if you're Indian, but I would think even Indians would be like WTF as Hollywood is telling the world that this music is Pakistani.
punjabi culture dates back 5000 years to the indus valley civilization. pakistan and india came into existence 60 years ago. 5000 years of history say punjabi culture is punjabi culture. it's gonna take a lot more than 60 years to change that...

It's the same with Bengal and Bangladesh,
the partition was called the Radcliffe Line
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radcliffe_Line
from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partition_of_India
Of the violence that accompanied the Partition of India, historians Ian Talbot and Gurharpal Singh write:share
There are numerous eyewitness accounts of the maiming and mutilation of victims. The catalogue of horrors includes the disembowelling of pregnant women, the slamming of babies' heads against brick walls, the cutting off of victims limbs and genitalia and the display of heads and corpses. While previous communal riots had been deadly, the scale and level of brutality was unprecedented. Although some scholars question the use of the term 'genocide' with respect to the Partition massacres, much of the violence manifested as having genocidal tendencies. It was designed to cleanse an existing generation as well as prevent its future reproduction."[42]
nobbleq and co. You folks just went FULL RETARD!! Unbelievable! With the vast expanse of facts and information available at only a touch or voice away, it's simply mind-blowing how somebody could make such a comment. Perhaps you are Straight-jacketed convicts in orange boiler suits held at the state penal insane asylum. There's no other explanation for your ignorance.
But if you are regular folks like most of the world... a quiet word, if I may... look, going retard is fine, every now and then we all do it... but never go Full Retard. NEVER! And even if you do have the twitches and spasms with a mindless mess of madness talk from your mouth,never ever do it online
To the idiots who think that the music wasn't Pakistani... Are you kidding me? Could you give me a few examples of what exactly does Pakistani music sound like?
Because as a Pakistani myself, I couldn't tell the difference!!!
Missed your history classes?
Pak and India DO share similar music, similar food and somewhat similar customs and traditions... so for you to come here and talk this nonsense is frankly, ludicrous!!!
