what is keeping pakistan together???

[qamar1990]

as soon as we turn on the tv we can see that our country is a big mess right now, terrorism every where, disease , and energy shortages.
but still our country remains united as of now..
what can be the possible reason still keeping us together
why haven't the pathans started to revolt to make pushtunistan? or sindhis to make sindhudesh?
what is the uniting factor?

-Religion?- 97 percent of our population follows some form of islam.

-pakistani national identity?- have we started to love being called pakistani? that we can set aside punjabi, pastho, sindhi, and balochi to be called pakistani?

-resources?
all are welcome to discuss.

please no replied like " allah is keeping us together" or "allahu akbar"….. we know allah is keeping us together but for now lets discuss the worldly things..

Punjab. Seriously. Each province has a separatist movement. We the best.

On topic, Pakistani identity.

 

[a hashmi]

Pakistaniat - despite everything we are told and shown, the majority of us adore that green and white cloth...
We ARE exceptionally proud of our institutions; Pak Forces, cricket team and even PIA...
And that is why, one by one, everything is being done to peel away anything that unites Pakistan.

i certainly do and perhaps you do as well but i i don't think this is the main reason, do vast majorities of pakistanis feel this way?

 

[American Pakistani]

The fact that we are Pakistanis.

BTW Pakistan should make every province dependent on other province. Just like what Indians have done.

thats true lol, but what about the urdu speakers? the vast majority left india to be with pakistan..
the sindhis- they have a very small movement almost unheard
balochis- have the largest movement for independence
pathans- most of them seem loyal to pakistan but i have doubts on this one lol.

religion

its the same binding force for india and west too.

As much as i hate religion but it has been a binding force,,,whether i identify with it is irrelevant.The relevant part is my identification with the cultural aspect of a religion,not its spiritual aspect.

 

[Progressive1]

Pakistani identity which is also based on socioeonomic integration of the region around Indus; each province needs other to achieve optimum standard of living. Sometimes I am amazed at strength of our national identity despite being a new multi ethnic country and having many shortcomings.
