Once you get to know how it feels to be native of a nation that did/supported/ tolerated abominable crimes against humanity and were the 2nd world war was started knowing that opposing to the respective power system wouldn't only harm/kill you but also your loved ones, I shy away from generalizing. There is (silent) resistance also in Pakistan which tries to work for India through giving information, but that is extremely dangerous for also the life of people around you not even in the knowing. And - as I wrote - open opposition can quickly be deadly in in Pakistan.
You know the difference between the two countries. Germany accepts, feels guilty, and repents. However in case of Pakistan even the 1st step of acceptance is missing.
Generalizing is not always bad. If a certain locality is infamous for crime, it doesn't mean all the residents in that locality are criminally inclined. Although, I can't say about you, but I would never shift in that locality especially if I have a family. You can blame me for generalizing and urge me to shift there cos not all residents are criminals but I'll happily take the blame of generalizing but wouldn't take the risk of putting the safety of my family at risk by shifting there.
