From a different thread, but still relevant to your claim.

Jinnah was a man, he was not an infallible being. His ideas and beliefs changed and shifted throughout his life, which is why everyone from communists to secularists and Islamists will quote him to support their beliefs. Nor does it really matter, a country that tries to model it's political...

This entire forced conversion nonsense is a cringe coping mechanism that has been refuted time and time again. Modern-day Pakistan became Muslim majority far before the arrival of the Mughals. If forced conversion was a "strategy" employed by these Muslim dynasties. Their core territories and...

Mughals were viewed very negatively in modern-day Pakistan up until the 1900s when the rise of Indian Muslim nationalism began to reevaluate the Mughals as some utopian Islamic state, a symbol of bygone glory. The reality is that Mughals saw modern-day Pakistan as a backwater to be exploited and...

Native Pakistani (and NW Indian) ethnic groups form a genetic cluster that is distant and distinct from Indian ethnic groups, this cluster also has a level of affinity with East Afghan ethnic groups. So they just decided to categorize these groups under "Central Asian".

Buddhism was first introduced to China and Korea through monks from modern-day Pakistan. Sindhi Hindus bury their dead. Holi and Diwali are very new to Sindhi Hindus and started to be adopted during the 1900s as the influence of "mainstream Hinduism" grew among Sindhi Hindus, even then, it was...

That is because they define Central Asia as Tajikistan, Afghanistan and the Indus Valley. The actual Central Asians that we typically associate with the term (Kazakhs, Turkmen, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, etc...) are genetically distant from us and have very little genetic connection to us.

99% of Pakistani Syeds descend from individuals that forged their Syed ancestry so that they would be exempt from taxes and obtain economic and social privileges.

Farsi has had a much stronger history and connection to modern-day Pakistan than Urdu, our region literally had it's own unique dialects of Farsi. It was a British policy to repress Farsi and promote Urdu as means of integrating the "North-West" (modern-day Pakistan) with the rest of the British...

Urdu/Hindustani/Hindi was not a language relevantly spoken in modern-day Pakistan until the 1900's. The "later" Mughal Emperors that spoke and promoted Urdu did not control an inch of modern-day Pakistan. British envoys of the 1800s remarked how none in the region (Punjab & Sindh) could...

Because mods are allowing it to thrive, one member suggested putting Pashtuns and Baloch into concentration camps and he still hasn't been banned.

I have travelled around, would regularly visit our relatives that lived in rural Punjab. Haven't been to Balochistan, Sindh or South Punjab though, so perhaps you're right.

I have grown up with Pashtuns and Baloch and have never met more trustworthy and hard-working people. It seems that you guys probably get bullied by racists in the West and want to say the same things that are said to you; to other ethnic groups.

Poverty definitely exists but it's nowhere near what you would expect. I have noticed a massive disparity between reality and the "stats" or the doom and gloom news articles which tend to depict a Pakistan on the verge of economic collapse.
