I was honestly expecting worst than Turkiye which has an inflation rate of 58% and lira losing more than half its value (all before the earthquake). The inflation rate in Pakistan stands at 30-33% which is despite the fact that there were bad economic policies by both PTI and PDM governments and...

Well Saudis have become a normal society. Pakistanis are stuck trying to prove their version of Islam with an extremist mindset and even within elites, there is lack of identity and peace of mind.

Indeed. There are law and order and economic issues in Pakistan and there is public awareness so we can rectify them yet there is no guarantee migration will curbed if things improved. If we had to compare with a country like India, which is seemingly doing well economically with high GDP rate...

Not entirely. Many are from Gujrat/Gujranwala as well and I’m not sure why because there is no war on terror in those cities to seek asylum

You are missing the main point. We, the Punjabis, Pashtuns, Kashmiris, Balochis, and Sindhis are not "Muslims of India". The independence of Pakistan and what it represents is denoted by our real founder, Rehmat Ali. P for Punjab A for Afghan K for Kashmir S for Sind and Tan for Baluchistan and...

In Iran, our poets are appreciated and respected. Allama Iqbal said himself he preferred writing in Farsi. On the other hand, I think you are talking about the ethnic groups who are common between India and Pakistan. I think they understand those languages and what do they do? Their...

Modern day Israel has ethnic groups such as Polish, Russian, Hungarian, Arab, Ethiopian etc. Yet the state of Israel is as old as Pakistan and Hebrew was literally re-born and everyone knows about their nationalism. Urdu was imposed on us through colonialism. We don't want to change it because...

For me, it starts and ends with changing the official language. Urdu is a fake language. It has no history and it's origins from India make us look like we belong to an Indian society. Furthermore, changing our language will prevent our people from watching Bollywood and following other ills of...

That's a separate issue. Many Turkish people trace their ancestry as Albanian, Bosnian, Greek, Macedonian, Bulgarian, Cypriot, and Arab. Its a very multi ethnic society and I think real Turkish, Central Asian blood such as from Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kazakstan and Kyrgyzstan and Azerbaijan...

@Maula Jatt I've defended Punjabis on this matter and I will include Sindhis as well. How do you respond this dude? I won't be surprised if he is a Punjabi saying that. Do you have more in common with Bengalis than Pashtuns and Baloch? LOL

But how many divisions are there? Within Sunnis you have deobandi, barelvi, wahabi etc. In every muslim country in the world you will find a unique architecture of mosques. In Pakistan... well lol that's not the case and the molvees are fighting on loud speakers. Well you have to realize that...

Pakistani society types and identity crises in a nutshell: Punjabis: (1). I'm an Islamic nationalist (2.) We are the offsprings of Indian subcontinent (3) We like to invest in real estate schemes like defence housing, bahria town etc. (4) Show me the money and I will vote for you. Pushtuns...

There was no reason for Punjab to split. For centuries, Hindus, Sikhs, and Muslims had been living together peacefully and. ironically, the Hindu Punjabi Khatris were some of the most successful community. They owned and ran most of the businesses in Punjab. Their vested interests did not favour...

L in LCA stands for Loser since 1983

Agree. Also I want to put out there that the Southern command of Pakistan army has to be the most corrupt branch. Whoever serves the Chaman border practically controls all the smuggling and black market between Afghanistan and Pakistan. That's how they open Papa John's Pizza chains, open dozens...

"Hate" is a strong word but the way I see it, some ethnicities who are not Punjabi are frustrated with Punjab and they have some valid reasons. Firstly, it was not the partition of Pakistan, but partition of Punjab. Muslims, Sikhs, and Hindus of Punjab were killing each other in 47. The people...

The only rape capital of the world is India, where a woman is raped every 2 seconds. Yet Pakistanis like to leg pull each other and portray each other as the worst and then have the guts to question why our image is bad. I guarantee the day your favourite political leader is in power, you will...

Bribes and corruption doesn't start and end in a country called Pakistan. Open your eyes, the country you live in is also the same, if not, worst. See how much debt an average American has compared to an average Pakistani. Generals were always the same. Its funny how much hate they are getting...

Remittances mostly come from Saudi Arabia and UAE. Pakistanis in the west are mostly poor. They and their children can’t afford to buy a home. Maybe you are an exception but majority are not Alright so the new gens are becoming American, Canadian and British. What is their culture and identity...

New generation of women are probably better educated but that doesn't hold true for men. Many are into drugs, islamic extremism and what not and there is a serious issue of honour killings and forced marriages as well.
