I think it is not a coincidence that a great many of the WKKs are drawn from families with a connection to Partition.
Most of the WKKs deserve sympathy and understanding more than ridicule, I think. Partition was a traumatic event of unimaginable horror. Such trauma has a way of reducing its victims to an emotionally infantile state. They desperately want some kind of emotional support to cling to, something, even a false-something, to feel reassured that the world is not really so horribly and cruel as to have harmed them so terribly. They keep inventing alternate realities in which Pakjabis are not the coldhearted inhuman rakshasas that they truly have shown themselves to have been.
Pakjabis, at least the more intelligent among them, understand this process very well. When they encounter a Hindu or Sikh Punjabi, they look for the signals of emotional vulnerability, knowing that a kind word or soft gesture from them can make them melt and be putty in their hands.
This works even when the victim starts out with feelings of rage and hatred. For a Partition victim (and their inheritors), the quality of the hatred is much more personal than it would be, for someone like me, for whom the hatred is more abstract. I don't approach individual pakis instinctively expecting to find monsters (though many are in fact monsters, my mind assumes that most are probably ordinary), that's because no Pakistani has directly harmed me or mine. At the same time, I am very clear in my enmity for their country and their system, because it is designed and constructed with the purpose of harming me and mine. I don't actually hate pakis in the standard meaning of the word, but I would destroy them without hesitation if I had the power and if I could do it without harming other things that I care about.
The first kind of hatred--the personal variety--is emotionally more intense and childlike, and is hard to sustain. Part of the hater-victim's psyche is trying to find a way out of that feeling. The inner child that is the victim's psyche is secretly waiting for some small straw--a temple or Gurudwara in Lahore for example--to give himself permission to stop hating, and instead allow the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction.
For the paki who has to deal with the consequences of his past sins and his evil intentions of the present, the optimal course to pursue is to deftly channel the visceral hatred of his past victims into unreasoning and irrational emotionally needy love for him. The raw emotion that Partition victims feel can be manipulated by levers of well-chosen words and gestures to go in the opposite direction.
On the other hand, there is nothing any paki can do to change people like myself, so he will just try to discredit such people and reduce their influence. And make it too costly for such people to actually destroy pakistan.
This is broadly the two-pronged pisko war that pakis wage so very well and Indians don't understand at all.
