British content creator Alex Wanders has shown the world that Pakistanis do not believe in hate after wearing an Indian cricket team shirt through the back streets of Lahore.

 

In his video, Alex asks his viewers, “What will happen if I wear an Indian cricket shirt walking through the back streets of Lahore in Pakistan?” Wearing the blue Indian jersey, he strolls through busy local areas, greeting people with a smile and an easy “How are you?”

Far from getting any trouble, he is welcomed with laughter, kindness and harmless jokes. “Getting some strange looks right now,” Alex says at one point, but continues his walk without fear.

 

A little boy playfully made “poop sounds” at him, which only made Alex laugh more.

 

In the video, he even sits down at a roadside barber’s shop and asks, “Do you do fire haircut?” The barber politely tells him no, wishes him well, to which Alex replies, “Thank you. Have a nice day.”

 

At the end of his experiment, Alex says what millions of Pakistanis already know. “Okay, it turns out if you wear an Indian shirt in Pakistan, nothing happens because the people here are so friendly. Follow for part two when I wear a Pakistan shirt in India.”

 

His video has gone viral and the reactions say it all. Pakistani rapper Talha Anjum commented, “I’m waiting for you to wear @babarazam jersey in India.. be safe man! 😅✌🏽”

 

 

Other users added their own thoughts.

 

One wrote, “Pakistan is not made up of hate, simple, our kids didn’t learn it.” Another said, “Try in India with Pakistan jersey, you’ll regret it.”

 

Many warned Alex that wearing a Pakistani shirt in India might not go so smoothly. “If you do the opposite, you might end up getting beaten up. Just be careful,” said another user.

 

Alex’s walk through the streets of Lahore shows that while cricket rivalries may be fierce, ordinary Pakistanis know how to welcome people with warmth, even when they wear opponents' kit.
