Pakistani music fans are glad that someone from the industry has pointed this out!
thank god there is someone out there who notices such things, even on letterboxd so many good Pakistani movies are listed in "indian cinema" and i cant tell you how much it bothers me like we only have a handful of movies and even those are not being recognized as Pakistani.

I love how @MehwishHayat speaks the way we feel inside understand it's about the bigger picture time for Pakistan to the credit it's deserves! I feel more comfortable in Pakistan than anywhere else! Coming from Gaylord Michigan it takes a journey of love to find everything I am… https://t.co/woYbs4Nlp4

Absolutely right, even on @YouTube, Pakistani music is labelled as Indian music. I wanted to make a separate WikiProject on @Wikipedia for Pakistani music but Pakistani Wikipedians neither are much active nor have enough coordination…
