Just a word of
advice to my
Pakistani brothers ....
In history we might have fought each other however that is history. We should accept it as it was. If our pashtun brothers want to take pride in their ancestors I will support them.
However what matters today is this. Pakistan is like a lion that stands on
four legs. Punjab, Pashtuns, Sindhi and Baloch. For it to function it needs all those legs to work in tandem.
The army keeps this country safe and I think we all acknowledge that. We know that the army is predominantly a Punjabi-Pashtun entity. I am going to say to my Punjabi brothers could Pakistan survive without the Pashtun? Who was this son of the soil who gave his life for Pakistan?

If the Pashtun's went their way Pakistan would lose Khyber Pakhtunkwa. What would be left of Pakistan at some points would be less than
100 miles wide. India could slice Pakistan like knife through butter. Pakistan would lose most of the Indus River and large parts of Punjab would dry up and starvation would set in. The army would lose all it's Pashtun component.
To the Punjabi's I ask is this what you want?
To the Pashtun I say - Please have a look at the state our Pashtun brothers are in Afghanistan. Many afghan's blame Pakistan. That is rubbish. Nobody can create dischord unless you allow it to happen or you have weakness in the first place. When the Red Army invade Afghanistan in 1979 whose fault was that? The 10 year war that destroyed Afghanistan was whose fault.
The Tajik's, Uzkeks hate Pashtun. You know they killed many Pashtun's to settle scores with them. Find out about the Kunduz Massacre. As Pashtun I think you already would know. Millions of Pashtun's ran to Pakistan as refuge. So the reality is Pakistani Pashtun are far better off then their brothers in Afghanistan.
To both Punjabi and Pashtun I say - both of you are the senior people in this federation called Pakistan. Both Punjabi and Pashtun are the
backbone of Pakistan. So show some sense and maturity. You can have differances. I notice Welsh and English have lot of rivalry and make jokes about each other. In history they fought against each other. However today they are united under the banner of 'Great Britain' along with Scots and Irish.
To the Mohajir's I say -
You guy's have to get off your high horse. This Pakistan is not your property. You may have agitated most for Pakistan. That was because you were
most at risk because you were
minority from where you came from. So it is not surprising that you were
terrified because you lived in a
ocean of
Hindu's. So you did this for
yourself. You did it to
save your skins. The Pashtun, Punjabi, Sindhi and Baloch were
majority on their own land. In their land it was the Hindu who was in danger.
However never forget one simple fact. You can
dream all you like, you can
agitate all you like but all you would have had is
"castle in air" Pakistan. To
build a
house you need
land. You can have the best architectural plan but
without land you cannot even build a
shed.
Pakistan was made out of
Sindhi, Punjabi, Baloch and Pashtun land. Never forget this fact. Before Pakistan came along there already was
Punjab with
Lahore as capital,
Sindh with
Karachi as capital,
NWFP with
Peshawar as capital and
Balochistan with
Quetta.
In 1947 the
Sindhi hosted you. It was
their land you settled on. It was
their capital city you moved into in such large numbers the host became a
minority.. You need to give up your 'Mohajir' staus and accept your hosts. You were guests and can't force the host to change their ways. You have to
integrate and become new
Sindhi's.
Do not act like
Jews in Palestine. Like settlers in a land where the original people are turned into
minority and the guest acts with impunity. You cannot treat
'Karachi' like the way Jews treat Jerusalem as your '
promised land'. Karach is not yours. You were guests and have
no more right to it then any other
migrants from Pakistan be they Pashtun or Punjabi.
Never forget this.
Sindhi's voted for Pakistan, they did
not vote for losing their Karachi.
Edit: Let Punjabi, Pashtun, Baloch and Sindhi celebrate their identity, culture and history as long as they all tie it togather into one rope - Pakistan. This amalgam made of four peoples will make a strong Pakistan.
