Hi,
Where did this " hatred " thing come from---that is a despicable comment---. I wrote down my observations and my experience.
I did not say that there is no discrimination in other provinces---absolutely there is and quiet a bit----but the Mohajjir community was the leader of discrimination in Pakistan since its inception---because they were more educated---they had majority of the jobs for years and years----.
But that is not the problem----the problem is that their arrogance done them in---instead of assimilating with the general population and staying where they were allotted other land----the made an enclave of their own in Karachi----.
If Muhajir community was Arrogant then they had reason to be one because Pakistan in 1947 was not even comparable to Afghanistan while in Early 1960s Pakistan was considered it to be Asian Tiger at the time when Muhajirs were majority in Bureaucracy and Capital was located Karachi even Bangalis were part of the Bureaucracy back then and they had a Substantial Population in Karachi but when it got shifted to Islamabad after 5 years we lost one half of a country and then all our institutions destroyed by Quota system and our economy started going down by Nationalizing our Industries. Even today this system exist and most Karachi(Not just Muhajirs) now feels that Punjab and KPK doesnt want COMPETITION in the rather they want everything for themselves. They have the argument here as an Administrator of a same Party can perform way better in Karachi but their their other regional counterparts cant even REPLICATE the same performance elsewhere and I am talking about Niamatullah Khan and MMA here as NIamatullah Khan's performance as a Mayor was Praiseworthy while MMA Govt.'s performance in NWFP(Now KPK) at the same period was awful.
Considering past Track record they have a point in this whole scenario which is cause of their Arrogance and it get strengthen when we consider current bureaucracy dominated by non Karachiite,
There is nothing wrong with retaining once culture anyways as their are Chinese American, Japanese American, Indian American even Pakistan American who had retain their culture in USA and not being criticize for that only because they CONTRIBUTES and same is the case in Pakistan as long as a person Contributes to the economy their is no issue in retaining its Culture. So come out of this Narrow minded area of your mindset and try acknowledging others at the same time asked to be acknowledged as well but on the basis of Contributions rather then being Son of Soil and all that.
Every other ethnic group cherishes in learning your language----ever met any seraiki people----they cherish speaking Urdu---even with extreme difficulty---but they speak it with a genuine pride---tell me how many mohajjirs speak the other languages of Pakistan----.
It is out of your arrogance and looking down at other groups that you don't----when you don't learn their language---it means that you don't have any regard for them---they are not your equal----the effort is not worth your time.
How many pathan's in Karachi speak Urdu---alomost everyone---how about sindhis---how about balochis---and Punjabis---everyone of the speaks Urdu----and how man Urdu speaking mohajjirs of Karachi speak Pashtu, Punjabi or balochi-----hardly any.
It is you and your group that has not assimilated in the society and not the other way around----.
Urdu is not a case of being imposed Language for Pakistan by Elites as they are more comfortable in Speaking English rather then Urdu its more of a Necessity because Pakistan is not what we call NATION STATE like Franch or China rather CONFEDERATION like Russia, India, Indonesia, Canada etc and there is a need of one language that can use for bridging the GAP between people communicating different Language and that is what Urdu has Achieved in Pakistan.
A Pashtun Transporter who travels between Different Province quite Frequently wont use Pashtu in Interior Sindh or in Punjab he needs a language that can be communicated otherwise he has to learn language of every area so Urdu is a great thing for him so as people of Swat who have Tourism as one of the major means of income and most of the tourists are from Other provinces so in order to Serve them with best Hospitality they need Urdu as they wont going to waste their energy in learning 3 or 4 different Languages for this purpose.
Pathans in Karachi are not only Communicating with Urdu speakers only they are communicating with Baluch, Sindhis, Punjabis and other communities as well so they have no choice but to speak Urdu more often with them. BTW Urdu Speakers are not the only Muhajirs in Karachi their are large Gujrati Speaking Memons and Biharis in Karachi as well so migrated Community is very broad but Urdu Speakers are in Majority and other Migrating Communities have almost same problem as these Urdu Speakings have so there is a degree of Unity among them and that is something that MQM has capitalize and that is why they use the word MUHAJIR more Often then URDU SPEAKER as Muhajir is a broader Term while Urdu Speakers is very Specific term for what they actually Represents..
