Well my family wasn't economically/financially weak in the first place when we moved. It was extreme racism and hatred that forced us to move. And even in 47 a lot of poor families moved too despite uncertain future. The idea of Pakistan resonated with not only the poor in the start but also...

I agree it may seem like this but it could be defined more as survival instinct. Even I have at times called my Lucknowi relatives greedy though. Among the reasons of our relatives not moving was also: 1) The move was to difficult and fraught with danger. 2) our properties were in Lucknow...

I agree. I have studied this behavior among some of my Lucknowi relatives intensively. The problem appears to be not patriotism but a need to fit in within the chauvinistic fabric of the nation. A little study of history may explain the problem and out Pakistani relatives failures, especially...

Spring Onion Luffy has not studied how Abdur Rehman Khan threw away lar pashtun lands to save Kabul, to save his bar pashtuns. The durand line agreement was signed by him and he was an Afghan monarch. While Pakistani pashtuns sought help from Afghanistan and fought them like Faqir of Ipi, Pallay...

@Mian Babban Luffy is back with another id. I have seen you abusing pakistan on that khar dimagh Afghan forum. Apparently every patriotic Pakistani disappears from that site. He is not even banned, just his password changed by khar e Afghan Admins whose ego feels threatened every time a true...

Sooner or later we will need an elaborate Afghan policy that acknowledges the hostility, hatred and racism in Afghanistan for Pakistanis. Also this hatred is not limited to Punjabis (other than being towards the Pakistani state) only. There has always been a feeling of Pakistani pashtuns being...

With the problems muslims face from countries like America and India proxy war between Sunni and Shia regimes is the last thing we need. Saudi and Iran should work to mend fences. Pakistan should play a positive role in uniting the 2 countries and bringing them closer. The problem appears to...

Chaman border attack: 50 Afghan soldiers killed, 100 injured in retaliatory fire, says IG FC Inspector General Frontier Corps (FC) Major General Nadeem Ahmed has said Afghan forces targeted civilian population while Pakistan targeted their check-posts, inflicting heavy casualties. At least 10...

I agree. No one should carry his or her arguments and fights to his grave. I think we should all unburden ourselves with our disputes before we go.

The difficulty of that is that with a neighbor like India and hostile Americans in Afghanistan will such a war be sensible. A large part of fighting a war is the basis that we will be successful. But I do want a tougher stance towards Afghanistan.

My experiences are based on my life in Lucknow. You haven't been to Pak. Short it might be but I witnessed the repulsion Hindutvas felt for muslims. Pakistan in reality is far more free than what you might believe. I haven't criticized the army or deep state but I have criticized the mullah and...

We have to come to terms with the fact that as long as that rump state exists, it will be hostile to Pakistan and its existence with all the durand line rubbish. I have not witnessed hatred of the time among Indians that I have witnessed among Afghans. They hate us and we need to recognize the...

Sorry brother. The emotionalism of our families escape from your country carried me away. I wish you the best sir. But it will be hard for me to forgive those who worked hand in hand with the oppressors. That was harsh too me putting it like that. Just know that I am less anti Indian in...

Thanks. Yes glad you called him. No hard feelings Syed. :)

We need a better strategy. With an enemy the size of India and a hostile nation like Afghanistan on the next side we will be in a lot of trouble if we do not make peace with Iran and China. No country can stand multiple enemies on all sides. Germany during WWI +WWII could have been the most...

Well I've written articles which I sent to various newspapers hoping for cash. I managed to publish some but for no money and on lesser known sites like pakium. Then I've tried graphic design. Not too good at it and learned during an internship I was better at strategic planning. So trying my...

Wow. This is amazing response. Its getting tough from the start to respond to everyone. I thought the thread would quietly disappear to the bottom without response. PDF is a family. Among gaming, search for knowledge and watching tv series this, PDF, is a means for me to blow of steam. It does...

The story of my later life would be internship after internship and no job. :) I have almost given up and hope the latest opportunity will bear fruit. As I said, I am horrible with the personal stuff. I keep most of my difficulties to myself and I don't personally like sharing details. Wish you...
