Dude, I can't believe my eyes - What the heck is wrong with you ?
That's truth dear. The hard realities.
They might have the same kind of sensitivity towards India as we do towards Saudi Arabia because of almost all of their Holy Sites being in India & many of their kin & co-religionist living in India but to use that as an excuse to brand them as traitors is preposterous !
Having religious sensitivity towards some country and being loyal to some other country other than Pakistan. Both are two different things. We might have sensitivity towards SA but I am not going to dump Pakistan for it. Like these guys. It is better they leave. If they want to live here fine. But we aren't going to stop them if they want to leave. Jatai hain to jayen.
As for there not being enough Hindu soldiers in the Pakistan Army; dude most of the Hindus live in Interior Sindh & they like their fellow Muslims in those areas are at the mercy of the Waderas (Landlords) !
Even numbers of Sindhi muslims in PA has increased in the past few years. So I don't think this wadra reason is valid.
deep unwritten but very conspicuous distrust & dislike of Hindus in Pakistan
And Pakistani hindus haven't done anything about this distrust. At least Indian mulims are more useful citizens of their country than these guys.
That baggage of the Partition must be unloaded because Pakistani Hindus had no part to play in whatever we think Hindus may or may not have done in the years leading up to the Partition & even subsequently.
That baggage is going to be further increased with the behavior of these guys. They prefer to die in India than live Pakistan. Then we don't have anything to do with them either. They don't belong to us.
Dude, I know what the narrative is & I know what our ancestors went through, many of my family members were cut down when they were escaping from Jammu & Kashmir to what later became Pakistan. And I know what my Maternal Grandpa & his siblings experienced in their years in Bijnaur. But I also know that there were many...many exceptionally good Hindus in there, some of whom helped members of our extended family in Kashmir to escape or hid them til the tensions died out.
There are good guys in every group or community. But that doesn't mean they can be trusted. We all know the role of Hindus in East Pakistan.
We cannot let fringe elements be indicative of the larger body of Hindus out there who are no doubt very good people !
They can be very good people, but what I care about is that who is loyal to my country. If they are happy in India then at least I am twice happy that they have left.
And it goes without saying that the Hindus of Pakistan, whether by choice or by fate, choose Pakistan as their Motherland & must be treated exponentially better than we currently treat them.
Most of them are poor. Those who were wealthy left back in 1947. These guys didn't left because of various financial reasons. They didn't had the resources. There choice of Pakistan was not voluntarily like Christians or Parsis.
They are not traitors & mustn't be asked to prove their Loyalty to Pakistan either explicitly or implicitly !
And why shouldn't they be?
One more time I don't want all hindus to be forcefully kicked out but I also don't have any issues if they want to flee from here. They are most welcomed to leave.
Because Pakistan was created on Hindu hatred, its obvious that you won't trust them or provide equality because its against Pakistan's identity to look different from India. Even Ahmedis who participated in creation of Pakistan were cornered.
Ahmedis are a separate issue. Despite those issues Ahmadis still are found at high ranks of military unlike these hindus.
You have economic dominance but still have problem with assimilation and deep envy-prejudice coming from others in Pakistan.
Well economic dominance matters. The rest is less important when you have the money which we do have.
