Well not personally you but in general, why was there a need to assert your rights by creating an identity( Muhajir means Immigrant, right?).
There is no equivalent political/social identity in India, I am not sure what was the need in pakistan.
Also, I gather it is equivalent to calling somebody 'p*a*k*i' in pakistan.
Hindus who migrated from Pakistan to India never faced any discrimination
Hindus can still migrate to India from Pakistan if they want to
on the other hand Pakistan was created for all Muslims of the British India but the people who migrated faced discrimination and are portrayed as a threat to other cultures by Sindhi/Pashtun nationalist parties
Pakistan closed its doors to the immigrants forever after 1951 even the biharis who opposed creation of bangladesh were told to stay in bangladesh after fall of dhaka
however afghan muhajirs were welcomed as brothers even tough they caused nothing but damage to Pakistan
Muhajirs created the identity Muhajirs after they were treated like Muhajirs
now every racist idiot want them to call themselves Sindhis Baloch Pakistani etc
