Have you ever seen Pakistani TV shows, they demean Hinduism like anything
The earlier ones I have not seen much, but few of the famous ones that I have watched in recent times try to steer clear of talking much about us since most of their viewership comes from India after some of their actors had stints in Bollywood and/or India for web series, and if there is one thing to duly acknowledge, it is that they glorify their religion whether in theme songs or the show itself (not like I would ever extend a like of a show to liking their country, it is similar to how they watch Bollywood or iTV). Allah is shown to resolve all their problems if they visit the dargah just once. On the other hand, it is also shameful to see the iTV shows especially in the past 10 years or so. They equally demean Hinduism like anything, especially by showing all kinds of disgusting stuff happen in holy festival episodes, or evil winning over good, even if the good characters are staunch believers in our Hindu gods and goddesses. Paraayon se kya hi shikayat kare jab khud ka darpan bhi maila ho
Even when we actually look at how for instance an issue like the Partition has been portrayed in Dastaan/Ghughi (Pak) versus Buniyaad/Pinjar/Gadar/Kyun Utthe Dil Chhod Aaye (Ind), all of it mostly shows the vilification of Hindus and Sikhs as being extremists, and Muslims only retaliating, which all of us know was not the absolute truth. If Raavi turned red, it was ALSO because not even a single soul survived in the Lahore Express and various other routes coming to India, it is clearly expressed in literature like "Raavi ke paar" written by Gulzarji about his own experience, that does not try to shield the horrors of the time. The understated figures noted by the Indian government at the time, land laws wherein in Pakistan the people who had migrated were allowed to settle and own assets left by Hindus but the Hindus who had come to India had to live like refugees for years in Old Delhi, all while we legitimately still protect Mr. Jinnah's house in Mumbai, and the Partition files being hidden for years till the Partition Museum came up in 2017 to validate the experiences, just fills you with anger of how much our concerns were more about appeasement than justice from the get-go. Also note, 95% of pre-partition temples/gurudwaras were immediately demolished and transformed into mosques in Pakistan, while we did not touch any holy places until the Golden Temple incident of 1984. Even most of the girls who were kidnapped, raped and assimilated into society were put in state where they refused to travel back to their home countries in 1949 to 1957 (when the act was repealed) when both the countries had decided on restoring the women under the Abducted Persons Act. When Kashmir Files showed the brutality involved in the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, it was termed Anti-Muslim and banned in their majority countries, while even their older shows/movies etc. which like you said have Anti-Hindu/Anti-India dialogues clearly run freely in our country.
As for the situation today, I truly feel like we as a nation also need to do more to get them to India now, which is not happening with minimal coverage of such incidents in mainstream media + the obvious selective outrage.

There are even 2-3 Pakistani women who are expressing disgrace over the current incidents that I have seen on social media, along with the few those on our end here in India trying to raise awareness, but in total there are far too less who fairly feel this way in ANY of our countries, so it is high time we establish that Hindus are also humans that deserve to live with dignity.
