If one individual claims so, and another doesn't, then do you go and count how many support position X vs position Y? Of course not.
There are Pakistanis who claim their history and ancestry, that is obvious. Whether other Pakistanis do or do not claim their history or ancestry has no bearing on the issue.
You are focusing solely on the latter group of people.
Actually it is based on my understanding that a large majority of Pakistanis claim foreign roots based on Pakistani newspaper editorials. If this is not correct and can be proven, I stand corrected.
I am not taking the second group of people as a reference here. What I mean is that you can't claim to be a non-Pakistani native and at the same time claim the history of the land that occurred much before you came here. I agree that intermixing would make the person belong to this land over a period but then the claim of foreign descent should also get progressively diluted. You can't eat the cake as well as have it, right?
This won't be an issue if they claimed that they have become part of the heritage of this land. Trying to claim it exclusively is another matter.
