Thanks you very much for bringing
this alarming information to our knowledge and notice as I were seriously not aware about this...Oh My God, so Sarikie people in their prospectous province ( Sairikistan or so Inshallah) will left with literacy rate only 18% as compared to 70% of their punjabis in uppper PUnjab (according to 2009 census punjab literacy rate is 59% accumulated, I've just checked to verify your statement)...so at this time rougly upper Punjabs litteracy rate is 70% . How this has been possible while living in the same province for centries one has 70% and while there partner living in the same province has 18% while Wasaib calculation says its Sarikies area has only 12% literacry rate
Only 12 per cent literacy rate in South Punjab – by Rana Latif « Saraiki Waseb Development Organization (SWADO)....
O' my Gosh!, here comes, so a proof how Sarikies poor have been deprived, TCH TCH for my Pakistan)
How is that possible two people (Sarikies and non-Sarikies) have been living in the same punjab and just like metphor, they jumped into the same river (resources allocated by Lahore) and one is almost completely wet (70%) while the other is just little partially wet (18%)...WHAT a superb a justice has been there from 65 years and they(Punjab rulers) have not noticed and taken special measures to at least reduce the difference?
All I'm emphasizing earlier like, you saying bro that new province name should be Sarikistan according to the rules when other five provinces are given names on the base of ethnicity or even renamed on the ethnic basis. then why this discrimination for these Sarikies poor.....so if it must not ethnic then for the sake of justice, uniformity in the country undo the others province names as well to follow the same suit and rules and rights for all...
This is why I was saying that division will help more, as then instead of seeing the economics at MACRO level, we can see the things (development) at MICRO level...just prooved by MUSLAMAN brother post, how now Sarikies can see their data and in competition they will struggle more...Like when a son in jointed family system would not be struggling but would be literally a paracite who will be feeded by parents after marriage, but if he is allowed (means given power and rule to him) to make his living by own then he will be more productive instead of a parasite ...
Further sometimes I think if we were having two or three Bengals provinces on the basis of some parameters then it would have been hard for them to go for another country (BUt remember what Allah do is the best, may Alllah keep them happy)...If we divide Punjab or others then it will be difficult for smaller units to go for UNITE movement for independence, as communication would become difficult rather and they will then serve as a rival in competition to grow on the development lines....just look if now Sarikies knows that how they have been put down to 18% literarcy rate (Whatever the reason of unequal resources distribution or no ATTention has been put up by the upper-punjab so called ruler for this massive difference from 65 years...So sad to know really this parameter as well....Stay happy Punjab, stay happy Sarikistan, stay happy all my provinces and my lovely Pakistan
