The term used by racist Pakistanis to denote someone from India, especially a Hindu.
Origin: In the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, and following the defeat of Pakistan, 90000 Pakistani [prisoners of war] were held for months in Indian internment camps. During their entire ordeal at the hand of Indians (something which should put Guantanamo Bay to shame), the Pakistanis were fed a daily diet of rice and [Bhindi] which means [Okra] in English. Growing fed up of this [meatless] existence, some Pakistani prisoners even attempted suicide, albeit unsuccessfully.
Following the release of the 90,000 Pakistani prisoners as a goodwill gesture from India, they went home to narrate stories of how Indians tortured them by feeding them on a daily diet of [bhindi]. Soon, the term became a pejorative description of Indian men.
