The focus should not be ‘ethnic fights’.
I have always advocated for a fight against “Criminals”, Not ‘Ethnicities’.
Karachi is home to good, Shareef families of Urdu speaking, Punjabis, Pathans and Sindhis as well who don’t indulge in criminal activities and have been living here for generations such that this has become their only hometown.
Although yes, The criminals in Karachi are mostly Afghanis, Sindhis and Siraikis while KPK guys are busy with tanker and transport mafia and least corrupts in KHI are punjabis (Non Siraikis).
I agree but one must remember that it is Karachi that makes people mellow and civilized.
We must also remember that we live in a country that has been very backward for centuries where caste/tribe/lineage/language/ethnic origin runs supreme to everything.
You talk to sindhi and he will say that he is sindhi for 5000 years and Pakistani only for 74 years and his motherland sindh is above anything. This sentiment is harbored by every sindhi(radical or otherwise)
Pasthans are very violent people by ethnic group. Sorry if I offend the sensibilities of some people over here but one needs to call out the truth. Their violent nature + pashtunwali is a recipe for disaster for other ethnic groups. They are heavily involved in organized crime and terrorism. Same goes for baloch but as their pop is smaller , they don't really get much attention.
Until and unless there is a single national curriculum imposed on every single child in Pakistan that espouses national unity and puts their ethnic origins/languages on 2nd or 3rd priority then I am afraid that not looking things through ethnic angle will be a huge injustice for our people.
Our people always put Pakistan first . It is after decades of mistreatment ,discrimination and pogroms that we have doubled down on our ethnic origin. It is just a reaction , not an inbuilt attribute , like the industanis.
