I would also like to add another couple of points to ponder:
(i) The drone strikes has not resulted in the deterioration of the momentum of the militants to launch attacks in sensitive areas of Afghanistan. It shows that the drone campaign has been a huge failure.
(ii) If the drone campaign...
These are the true historical & current facts of the Sindhi-Urdu speakers' divide:
Sindh willingly accepted the Mohajirs that came to Pakistan 1947. The Mohajirs, who were the most educated group, starting dominating Karachi & Hyderabad, & the Sindhis were getting driven out. Even with limited...
Drone strikes show that little is working in the Afghanistan war, & is a way of acting tough. The fact of the matter is, the US has failed in Afghanistan, & little is working for them there:

I doubt this report is true, I am 99.999999% sure it is not authentic. I have many friends living in Pakistan that drink & party, do drugs etc & are very open about it; & fair play to them: it is their life, & they can do whatever they want in it, without facing consequences from others for...
P.S. Most girls in our society are NOT gold diggers. They are obedient to their parents' wishes. The parents think they are wanting the best for their children, by getting them married off early, to a financially stable person.
There is no compulsion to 'acclimatize'. Many Urdu speakers do not speak Punjabi or Sindhi living in Punjab or interior Sindh, & they get along with Sindhis & Punjabis very well. I do not speak Sindhi, yet, I get along excellently with Sindhi people in Jamshoro & Kotri, & elsewhere in interior...
After researching on this guy (Ayaz Latif Palijo), studying some of his writings & works, I have been very interested in his views, & I might even extend my interest further. I encourage you guys to read up more on him, he is a true Pakistani Sindhi patriot, a true nationalist. He has always...
Being a gold digger and "smart" are not mutually exclusive. There are a lot of smart gold diggers as well, our society in general "manufactures" this kind of behavior, starting with our parents & how they bring us up. Intelligence without "substance" loses appeal to most women. I can understand...
Only the people that are influenced by MQM, or live in MQM influenced-dominated areas (basically, neighborhoods in Karachi & Hyderabad) are identified like that; they fail to adequately acclimatize enough in the local society/conditions, unlike the Urdu speakers in Punjab, KP & interior Sindh...
To be honest, although I am unfamiliar with the term; I believe it refers to assimilation, to being able to adapt, even if it means letting go off some of your (local) cultural norms/religious leanings to progress in society.
This thread is about MQM, & how it isn't really representative of the mindset of the common 'Mohajir'/Urdu speaker. This thread is not about Urdu speakers vs Punjabis/Sindhis/Pakhtuns etc. So please take your trolling about 'Mohajirs' vs Punjabis/Sindhis/Pakhtuns elsewhere.
There are quite a few 'gold digging men' in society as well... mercenarial tendencies & the lack of strength/resolve are the reasons why the societies in the Indian subcontinent (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh etc) never progress.
We like to think our Asian women are less materialistic & demanding than Western ones. The reality is however, quite different. Just look at our society in the Indian subcontinent: most parents prefer their daughters getting married to someone based in a first world country over a local...
The West (the US) has a history of abandoning people/groups after they get what they want, & it won't be any different this time either. Pakistan's resolve to take action will be much greater than the West's will (if they have any) to make him a hero.
Pakistan has accepted Mohajirs, Mohajirs are one of the most progressive ethnic groups in Pakistan today; & the only Mohajirs that aren't doing well today are the ones that are influenced, or live under the influence of the MQM.
