I've been following Pakistani rock (Aaroh, Jal, Fuzon, Junoon, Entity Paradigm etc) for a while now, and both in terms of musical depth and the ability to culturally contextualize that genre, they are way more impressive than their Indian counterparts. For one, Indian bands, with the rare exception of Indian Ocean, tend to sing in English and rarely deal with local issues.
