What is your opinion on Pakistani expatriates?
That they lived a considerable portion of their lives outside Pakistan.
Is it really worth it?
When I talked to other Pakistani expatriates in our homes, usually they just care about their religion and nothing else.
Are Pakistani expatriates out of touch with their Pakistani culture or society?
Is it really worth going abroad for better opportunities, or just to get a western degree?
Do you believe Pakistani expatriates are as patriotic as Pakistanis who live in Pakistan and in the Middle East?
Your views?
Do Pakistani expatriates have an identity crisis (I mean the ones living in Europe and North America?)
Or other family friends told my father "Your children didn't ask to come here either."
I will add more to this list.
Hi,
I have lived all my life in the UK.
I thought id give some feedback about your questions.
1.That they lived a considerable portion of their lives outside Pakistan.
Is it really worth it?
Yes it is, Life is good, we make good money, have justice and security.
But things are changing in the UK.
We are taxed to oblivion, we have institutionalised hatred of Muslims and the economic situation is not what it used to be.
The west is in decline, the future lies elsewhere.
Do you believe Pakistani expatriates are as patriotic as Pakistanis who live in Pakistan and in the Middle East?
Hell yeah,I would die for Pakistan. We are more patriotic than most Pakistanis.
When the next war with India happens, I will come to Pakistan to join the mother of all holy wars.
I don't expect to survive but as long as i get alot of "them" out with me, I'll be happy.
Do Pakistani expatriates have an identity crisis (I mean the ones living in Europe and North America?)
Or other family friends told my father "Your children didn't ask to come here either."
Im sure a few do but most don't have a identity crisis.
Im a foreign born Pakistani and am a foreigner in Pakistan,
But I have a God given right to live and be a Pakistani regardless where I live.
in summary:
I care about my religion and I care about passionately about Pakistan.
I don't just see it as a country but also an ideological state, Jinnah was 100% right.
I can clearly see that from the Indians in the west.
My family has lived here for generations but will always be seen as foreigners.
If Pakistan had security( ie i wont get kidnapped ),
security of property ( Land, plots and Kotis getting stolen ),
Less corruption ( I tried to open call center in Pak and had to pay 2 lak a month in Bribes )
I would consider coming to Pakistan to live.
The UK in not what it used to be and is clearly in decline.
The free education and NHS is great, even the king of England cant take my property off me,
But the tax man can and will. We are taxed even in death here.
I can now see more opportunities in other countries, such as China, Pakistan ect
I expect to migrate somewhere at somepoint.
