No more hate politics: Thousands of Indians, Pakistanis upload selfies with #profileforpeace

Mumbaikar Ram Subramaniam had no idea that a simple hashtag that he used would start a nation-wide campaign. Keeping with the recent rising tensions between Indian and Pakistan, Subramaniam on Thursday used  #profileforpeace  with a selfie, in which he held a note that read “I am an Indian. I am from Mumbai. I don’t hate Pakistan. I am not alone. There are many people like me.”

Further in his caption he invited anyone else who shares his thoughts to join and promote the campaign.

His post went viral in a few hours and after thousands of shares on social media portals like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, people from Pakistan also started joining the campaign by posting their selfies. With a note mentioning where they are from Pakistan, and that they don’t hate Indians, many additional selfies and posts emerged.

Even celebrities like music composer Vishal Dadlani and celeb brothers/judges Raghu and Rajiv of reality show Roadies have already joined the campaign.
