We are not economic migrants even though sometimes there are marriages between Lucknowi women and Karachite men. That could be the other reason as a lot of Karachites prefer wives from there and gradually they get citizenship. My father was in Karachi longer than my mother and had migrated...

Don't worry folks Shirin Mazari is a nationalist and far from anti national. What she was meaning to say was that if action isn't taken against India and America which are blamed for fomenting terrorism in Pakistan then our gains will mean nothing. We have to deal with the source here, the root...

I think we are too sensitive to blasphemy. Those in the best position to represent Islam are those who can tolerate. Furthermore what is blasphemy. According to some a Hindu reciting Quran is blasphemy. And don't even let me begin what blasphemy law causes and the 1000+ innocent people framed on...

Same here. I have a deep respect for all minorities in Pakistan including Ahmedis and if we all respect each other and treat each other as brothers there is no limit to the progress we will make. I remember Jinnahs 11 august adress in my heart. For me you are my brother and are going through...

Bro I am not seeking that woman for romance. I don't know why anyone thinks that.

A lot of muslims in Lucknow believe in the ideology of Pakistan. In early 2000's when one of my relatives moved to marry her husband in Karachi she believed in Pakistans ideology. Bombings had already started but she saw beyond that. It was the same with us. Terrorism situation may hold some...

I agree here. We did not move in 47 btw. So there is a lot of confusion about how the term should be used and what exactly defines an "Indian" in Pakistan. The idea that we come from an enemy country (though we don't even believe in a united India) makes our rest of the Pakistani brothers very...

There is at times sentiment against us. Mostly it is caused by the divisive policies of the MQM. If MQM had not used violence and terror in Karachi a lot of people would welcome us migrants. MQM has caused more damage to the muhajir cause than any other organization combined. Though we can blame...

I should have said teenager days.

There are times when light goes in Lucknow and Hyderabad...

Keep sending the takfiris to hell, boys. Sorry to hear about the loss of 5 army men and also Afghanistan's failure to manage the border. I sometimes don't know what to do with a hostile neighbor like Afghanistan and their failure or complicit attitude in failing to manage the border.

Its sad to see our neighbor stuck before the years of 1893. The Durand line agreement was signed by Abdur Rehman Khan. Why not take up the issue with that Afghan ruler who sacrificed Peshawar for Kandahar and Kabul. This was their committment to pashtun unity. Now when Pashtuns of Pakistan are...

Now it seems to me you want to be a nuisance on the forum. This looks like a very stealthy art-form of trolling to me. No offense. Did you read my post and even attempt to note the wider message? I am a cynic. You should see my posts and my support for minorities or secularism and my ability...

Thanks buddy. I have hope in Pakistan because of every one of you, my friends, colleagues, brothers all working to make the country better. Right down to the forum members who are keen to do their part. As for some of the hopeless comments here, I think living away from the land has both its...

How is it hiding? You should know I am never in favor of hiding our mistakes. Highlighting them is a duty because only by admitting our faults we can fix them. But have you or Solomon ever admitted to faults in America. Criticizing as an outsider is very, very easy. We all know the trash heaps...

One of the good things about US is that it gives aid to developing countries and builds things our governments would never or take years to build. But their foreign policy is one big mess of war mongering and bullying. Regardless this should be respected. They are helping the poor develop...

I do not see the purpose of this thread. I am myself a cynic and rarely see good. Trash is indeed everywhere in Karachi. But our focus should be on making things better. If we can even improve things .1% then it is a boon for Pakistan. Can you really claim to know Pakistan? You are an American...

I agree with your post. Its difficult but I just wish all our lives could be saved and in the real world there are casualties on your side too. I have a lot of trouble coming to terms with this. Each time a blast occurs I am wishing more people don't die. Then I want revenge. I am now in the...

I am not arguing for nude beaches as it is going over the line. But for freedom of attire. If western women want to wear bikini there can be beaches specifically for them cut off from the rest of Iran. If this is going too far for Iran though they can demand honorable dress there though I don't...

These men put their lives on the line for Pakistan. They should be far better protected. There is much to be done to evict groups like LeJ, TTP and now ISIS. ISIS should not be allowed to make a footprint in the country at all. We have seen their rights abuses and brutalities in Syria. They have...
