There was no ideology behind creation of MQM, it came into being due to ethnic hatred for Pashtuns and ghusa for Sindhis. Altaf, the ambitious student leader, approached Mohajir Malikan of factories in 80s, asking them to give him bhata instead of a Pathan goon, on the basis of Mohajir brotherhood. Mohajir nationalism worked like magic in collection of bhata and altaf bhai became ultimate Don , getting rid of other small mohajir and non-mohajir criminals and mafias. To keep the lahoo of mohajirs garam, in the flames of nationalism, his Bihari goons started an ethnic war with Pashtuns in 1986 and then with Sindhis in 1988, showing off their power and proving their worth for mohajir community.
