Achievements those who migrated for Pakistan empty handed & what they achieved for dream of Pakistan

[Longhorn]

Let us not forget the millions of ordinary Indian born Pakistanis who migrated empty handed, lost everything including loved ones in a lot of cases, but helped build Pakistan with their blood and sweat.
Their contributions may be invisible and unrecognised but they are nonetheless considerable.

الله سبحانه وتعالى. had brave Muslim races living already on the land that became known as Pakistan. These defenders kept Islam and Pakistan alive and strong never allowed any Hindu to cross or settle in our heartlands known as Pakistan now. Arabs have oil it brings them no strength or security. Afghani ran from Russian invasion again ancient Muslim races of Pakistan rallied to Islam. Dialect of Pakistan is made of many tongues . Nominating this pacific one for national language was to bring harmony amongst each fierce ethnic group rivalry in there own. So it’s not a great surprise it dominates air waves in entertainment industry. I love my pakistani Shalwar kameez baggy worn with a cap. Not this tight sissy looking coloured ones i see men wear.

I must share this story from my khandan.

One of my uncle was the lone survivor as a 4 year old boy with his parents massacred by Hindu terrorists of India, during the journey towards Pakistan. All he remember, he told me, that being lost on the railway station upon reaching Pakistan. He started his journey with his family, reached Pakistan as orphan. He doesnt even have recollection of his family, only vague images his mind as he was only a child, there are no family belongings, everything was looted.

Now, Masha Allah, he is living quiet life in his mansion in DHA Karachi as a retired banker. What I find the mindset among the first generation of Pakistanis is truly amazing. I asked him don't you feel bitter or any regret in you that because of Pakistan your family was taken away from you. None what so ever was his reply, infact he went on to say that his situation was kinda similar to Prophet (PBUH) who was also orphaned as a four year old, middle of nowhere in the dessert, and Allah has looked after him, opened the doors for him and he never had any failures in his life. Smooth sailing since.




My grandmother (may Allah grant her Jannat), once jokingly told me that if she hadn't acted with quick thinking and stopped to collect her lose chappals, while running away from the Hindu terrorists mob, with my father in one hand and my aunt in another, me and her wouldn't be having this conversation.



I can write a whole book on this particular subject, my family is full of individuals who sacrificed a lot. Some went from riches to rags, but I have never come across anyone regretting migrating to Pakistan. Entering Pakistan from India felt like a bird released from the cage. Those who went through the trauma still carry this feeling of freedom.

Respect to you and your family. May Allah bless all those - who got shaheed while on the way and who successfully made into Pakistan.

As someone said: All gave some. Some gave all.

Indeed bro, but we the second, third generation and coming lot are born free. We will not know the trauma and stress the first generation of Pakistan went through. All we can do is to ensure that chain is not broken and our children are aware of the sacrifice for Pakistan. I have made my children aware.

The biggest sacrifice these Pakistani made was when they left everything just to come to Pakistan.

My grandparents and their relatives (maternal/paternal) moved in from UP only to see a bloodied train on Wagha that arrived before they did. They were horrified to say the least after losing everything they had and started anew in different parts of Punjab and Sindh.

My maternal grandfather just died recently and he always loved Pakistan regardless of what life threw at him. My paternal grandfather fought in the Pakistan Army and held the country in high regard. They didn't complain unlike the new generation.

I don't know whether you followed this thread or not. So many heroes who migrated from so many parts of India and served this country in so many ways

Delhi, Bombay, Hyderabad, Rajasthan, Punjab, madras, Gujarat, UP, Bihar

A good read for Indian Muslims too. And there are still so many whom that haven't been added to this thread

Thanks. I know of many Indian Muslims (including some from my extended family as well) who migrated to Pakistan in the 60s and 70s because they could not get jobs in India, and were promised good jobs in Pakistan. They all did well there.

Also, until the 1980s, some Indian Muslims would go to Pakistan on a visit visa, and if they could find a job there, they would stay back. If nothing worked out, they came back to India or headed to the Middle East.

As with all stories, there are some that did not work out. I know of one person (my parents knew of him actually) who migrated to East Pakistan from Bihar. He came back to India after the 1971 war, because Pakistan would not accept them, and they did not want to stay in Bangladesh.

Rashid Minhas

Pilot Officer Rashid Minhas NH, was a military officer in the Pakistan Air Force. Minhas was the only PAF officer to receive the highest valour award, the Nishan-e-Haider. He was also the youngest person and the shortest-serving officer to have received this award.

On 20 August of that year, in the hour before noon, he was getting ready to take off in a T-33 jet trainer in Karachi, Pakistan. His second solo flight in that type of aircraft. Minhas was taxiing toward the runway when a Bengali instructor pilot, Flight Lieutenant Matiur Rahman, signalled him to stop and then climbed into the instructor's seat. The jet took off and turned toward India.

Minhas radioed PAF Base Masroor with the message that he was being hijacked. The air controller requested that he resend his message, and he confirmed the hijacking. Later investigation showed that Rahman intended to defect to India to join his compatriots in the Bangladesh Liberation War, along with the jet trainer. In the air, Minhas struggled physically to wrest control from Rahman; each man tried to overpower the other through the mechanically linked flight controls. Some 32 miles (51 km) from the Indian border, the jet crashed near Thatta. Both men were killed.[9]
