Much as "gay" though not being offensive in itself is used in a perjorative sense, "paki" is used in a similar way. Also due to the tensions between Indian and Pakistan it is even more offensive to Indians.
A friend of mine was recently hit by an egg thrown form a passing vehicle when he was fixing a puncture. His reaction was to laugh and be amazed at the accuracy - I would probably have thrown a d-lock at the car.
