If they remained loyal to their nation Pakistan instead of their ethnicities (Bengali) then they would never demand independence from Pakistan. If some west Pakistani politicians don't oppress the rights of east Pakistani on ethnic grounds then this seed of hatred never grow and east Pakistani politicians dont use this excuse to gain political power and independence.remember that both W Pakistanis and E Pakistanis were Muslims however 1971 turned into a war between " Pakistani " army and Freedom fighters from would be Bangladesh
both sides remained loyal to their nation
I said Islam should be primary identity of Muslims because Islam is all about fairness and justice not only for Muslims but for non Muslims as well because Islam ask you to protect the honour, dignity and rights of non Muslims if they are under your protection. Secondly i have observed the attitude of nationalists on Indian and Pakistan defence forums and trust me most of them are blind lover of their country as well as blind haters of opposite side. They spend hours to defend their nation and sometimes they know what they are defending is clearly wrong but they don't see it wrong because they consider their country as perfect without realizing that their country is run by politicians who can make wrong decisions and can do corruption. Whenever i will criticise their country they will start feeling insecure.
Another thing is hypocrisy of nationalists. on one side they will liberate the balochi, bangladeshi because they are being oppressed by politicians of their enemy country but they will never dare to feel the same for those who demand freedom in their country on same grounds. Natioanlists will ignore/defend the oppression/abuse in their own country while will love to point out and discuss the oppression exist in countries of their enemy.
where would have been Pakistan if it did not have lakhs of citizens who loved pakistan by their heart and at times gave everything for Pakistan?
however enough amount of nationalism is crucial for any nation
For me there is a difference between patriotism and nationalism. It is natural to love your country. Blind love is bad and so are blind lovers. I am proud of my country when it does things that are worth being proud of. I will never die for my country if its going to do something which is not right. I will be against my country leader if he use his power/authority in the wrong way. I will stand against him unlike nationalist who defend his country at any cost
