Anti-Pakistan sentiment or Pakistanophobia, is a term defined by political scientists and media as a diverse spectrum of ostensible "prejudices, dislike or fear" of the state of Pakistan, its culture, people or its government. The concept exists throughout several countries, including India, Afghanistan, the Western world and the Arab world. The first recorded use of the pejorative and racist term "Paki" was in the United Kingdom. According to the Pakistani narrative, Anti-Pakistani sentiment can also be found in other Western countries including the United States. Its opposite is Pakophilia.

Foreign governments, peoples and even media outlets are routinely accused by Pakistani nationalists of displaying Anti-Pakistan sentiment.

India

The official narrative holds that Pakistan-phobia "strong" in India, given the supposed "arch-rival" relations between the two countries since the Partition of India. The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Shiv Sena are publicly advocated for "spreading hate-crimes" against Pakistan's citizens. Both parties have, in numerous occasions, brought criticism to Muhammad Ali-Jinnah, Liakat Ali-Khan, Sir Muhammad Iqbal, and Ziauddin Ahmad. Jaswant Singh, former Minister of Finance and key member of BJP, published the Jinnah: India-Partition-Independence on 17 August 2009. Singh argued that it was Nehru, not Jinnah, whose centralized polity was responsible for partition. He was later expelled from the primary membership of BJP as a result of the ensuing controversy. His book was later banned in Gujarat. Simultaneously, the common people of Pakistan have shown a great affinity for Indian culture, music, TV programming and consumer goods, which conflicts with the official narrative.

Many nationalist Indian Muslims also have anti-Pakistan sentiments.

In 2004, a Pakistani newspaper article stated that some Indian Bollywood films depict Pakistan in a hostile manner by portraying certain anti-Pakistan stereotypes.

Afghanistan

In a recent, a poll showed that Afghans rated India as the most favourable country, while Pakistan was the least favoured country with only 2% popularity.

In 2011, while lecturing at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, former President Pervez Musharraf stated, "Since our independence, Afghanistan always has been anti-Pakistan because the then Soviet Union and now India have very good relations in Afghanistan". Pakistanis are often referred to as Dal Khor by Afghans.

Saudi Arabia

In Saudi Arabia, young Saudis have behaved in a racist and violent manner toward South Asians like Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Phillipinos, Indonesians, Africans and other foreigners. The youth have engaged in violent attacks on South Asian workers.

Bangladesh

Sentiments against the government and establishment of Pakistan were rife during the days of calls for seccession in Bangladesh. The Anti-Pakistan sentiment grew strongly in 1950s and in 1960s in East-Pakistan, now Bangladesh. The Bangladesh Forces fought shoulders-to-shoulders with Indian Armed Forces in the conflict which later become to known as Bangladesh Liberation War. However, relations have improved with Pakistan although historical issues such as the divisions of assets and atrocities continue to hinder relations from improving. The ties were at low point during the democratic governmental regime of Benazir Bhutto. However, in 1998, following Pakistan's nuclear tests, the ties were immensely improved. Common concerns over India's regional power have influenced strategic cooperation leading to a gift of several squadrons of F-6 fighter aircraft to the Bangladesh Air Force in the late 1980s although they was no serious effort to maintain them as there were later left to be destroyed by a cyclone. Members of the Bangladeshi Army are frequently received open admission at the National Defence University, a higher institution of civil and military studies.

United Kingdom

The United Kingdom has the largest overseas Pakistani community, known as British Pakistanis. There have been periodic ethnic tensions faced by the Pakistani community. The the first recorded use of the pejorative and racist term "Paki" was in the United Kingdom.

United States

Since the 11 September 2001 attacks, there have been scattered incidents of Pakistani-Americans having been mistaken targets for hate crimes and Pakistani Americans have to go under more security checks in places such as airports due to their Islamic background. Up to 45,000 of the estimated 100,000-strong Pakistani community in New York were deported as they were Illegal immigrants and others left voluntarily following the attacks.
