I am a deadly racist.. You arent even Punjabi.. tum bhi bhagorey ho.. However Ill include you into the Punching bag list.
Mujhee bhagoraa kahaaa - There must be War for this insolence !
Khair on a serious note - Isn't it obvious why the Immigrants from Kashmir or from Eastern-Punjab are never considered as Immigrants & not even a single racial slur is thrown against them ?
Hint : We neither called ourselves Immigrants nor let any other call us One !
But the talk of migrants and races is unfortunately part of politics. Mush's attempt to buy into the ethnic card played is stupid. The man was born and raised in Punjab... only the gandasa remains.. what is his excuse of saying that I am Urdu Speaking. Nor did urdu speaking have anything to do with his becoming chief.. taking over the country.. or Nawaz Sharif.
To be fair the Urdu Speakers are guilty of some of this too !
I've got very close relatives who came from Jammu & the adjoining areas where out of a family of dozens only 2-3 people made out alive to Pakistan whilst the rest were cut along the way !
Others were lucky enough to be in the areas that became Pakistan for either studies or business purposes; their families back home in Kashmir were not - Many didn't make it !
The stories of Punjabis from Eastern Punjab are just as heart wrenching & stomach turning !
None of them....none of them, as far as I know or as far as I've heard or seen or listened to, have ever tried to score a Brownie Point by mentioning this !
None of them have used 'We paid for Pakistan with our blood & we made Pakistan' as a means to brag !
Some of the Urdu Speakers are guilty of that !
The Politicians from that Community most certainly !
It does not for a second excuse anyone - Punjabi or Otherwise - to say the unthinkably shameless thing of asking the Muhajirs to go back or to differentiate between Brother & Brother !
There is no Local...no Immigrant & anyone saying otherwise is a basterd who pisses over everything that Islam taught us & what Quaid-e-Azam commanded us !
But the above does put some things into perspective why we - Kashmiris from Maqbooza Kashmir - or we Punjabis from Eastern Punjab, are or were never called Immigrants or never stood for this & why some Urdu Speakers deliberately identify themselves as Muhajir & why others call them as such & why the filllth then starts flowing from each others mouth on this !
And mind you I or anyone else have never stopped being a Kashmiri in Punjab or a Pukhtoon in Punjab but this absence of a false sense of superiority or the scoring of Brownie Points or having some bragging rights have ensured that Punjab has evolved a more pluralistic sense of identity when compared with the other Provinces !
And that is precisely why I know that I'm a Kashmiri & others know that I'm a Kashmiri but they & I both know that I'm also very proud to call myself a Punjab because no one, not the natives, not the immigrants in the years after '47-48 ever made each other mutually exclusive to each other !
