It's getting to the point where sometimes - despite my very lucky and cushy lifestyle (thank God) which I studied and worked really hard to achieve at school, university and now workplace -- I wish my parents had never emigrated from Pakistan. Its actually soul-destroying not having a real place to belong, to call home. I've seriously thought about moving back to Pakistan even though I'm sure it would be hard for me to adjust to the change in lifestyle and living standards. At least then any future children won;t have identity issues.
Despite everything I think you people who live and grew up in India or Pakistan are REALLY lucky --despite everything and all the problems of both countries -- you are living in your own land. That must be an amazing feeling.
