when MQM raised voice about talibanisation of karachi it had to face ethnic discrimination

The ethnicity of muhajirs is Bihari right?

You talk about Muhajir's like anything and didn't even know that what ethnicity they belong from. They came from all over India which include Indian side Punjab.

I'm asking the guy of qouted post who said, muhajir ethnicity should be urduwaa and I asked muhajirs of karachi are of bihar ethnicity, so how can they claim urduwaa as their ethnicity.

Probably because a person born in Pakistan calling himself a Muhajir - an Immigrant, even 65 years after the country was created & he never really immigrated from anywhere...it was his Grandparents or his Parents who did the Immigrating to a yet-to-be-created-country, is weird !

Plus Muhajir is not an Ethnicity nor is an Urdu speaker !

The Muhajir term in Pakistan refer to people with Utter Pradeshi, Bihari, Gujarati, Kutchi, Memoni, Kathiawari, Deccani ethnicity. So yes Biharis are also part of this group.

Take me for example my grand parents were originally from Utter Pradesh & Maharastra but speak Urdu primarily.

Also don't get me wrong. For me Pakistan comes first...Muhajir/Urduwan/Karachtie is a term used for inside Pakistan. If i call myself Sindhi/Punjabi/Baloch/Pushtun/Kashmiri/Hinkowani/Seraiki/Gilgiti/Balti/etc etc people will accuse me of hiding my original identity.

You can call yourselves Moahir there is nothing wrong with it, but I expect no one will ever blame the "sons of the soils" for imposing this identity on your folk. You can also call yourselves Karachites but it would simply mean a person who lives in Karachi, therefore the people of other non-Urdu speaking communities living in Karachi are also Karachites. Urduwan sounds very un-urdu btw, and I am sure if I ever call any Mohajir an Urduwan in Karachi he/she will definitely think who the fok is that animal, never heard before - and it will also be a big injustice to the Urdu lovers from Punjab, those guys have already assured themselves that Urdu is as theirs as Lassi. May I suggest something that sounds very catchy and very Urduish? What about "Urdu zoban bolne wale Mohajir"?

Well TBH "Muhajir" identity is forced on us on the first place. I think you are forgetting that 3-5 decades ago people used to use these kind of words as derogatory for those who migrated from India to Pakistan. Some words were like Muhajireen, Panah Guzeen, Hindustani, Bhai Log, etc etc.

Hopefully the next generation of our citizens will not judge anyone based on their ethnicity. They will judge them on their deeds. We all deserve respect but for some it is still a struggle to be accepted. I personally believe that I should be known as a SIndhi as I am from Karachi. But people can add terms like Urdu-speaking Sindhi.
The regret is that we all should have learnt Sindhi with urdu so as to forge a strong unity with our Sindhi brothers.

You are rite. BTW i can speak broken/little bit Sindhi. Aayoon thoray Sindhi galhai wendo aahyaan.
