About the Indian Muslim thing !
Oh, Point is.. who would want to migrate to Pakistan under the current conditions?
I have already put in the above post what particular conditions might force a migration.. if Muslims are being openly prosecuted then they should migrate to WHATEVER country they wish ..AND if that country is Pakistan then we should welcome them with open arms and offer them plots in DHA or Bahria town.
The basic issue with pakistan is that we base our identity on ethnicity first and then nationhood. A lot in Punjab still live by the idea that they are the true patriots and Pakistanis.. others disagree with them. Altaf Hussains bellows or that of Abdul Ghaffar Khans grandson do not define the entire populous. Because otherwise, almost EVERY ethnicity and nation in Pakistan has asked for a seperate state at one time or another and still there are calls for Sindudesh, Azad baloch, Seraiki something, Pashtunistan and so on.
Now, here's the thing.. I have fun every other day with by getting a goan girl into a yelling argument with a keralite over some issue or a tamil and other guy.. They go crazy accusing each other of one thing or the other which shows that we are not unique in our ethnic zeal and identity. However, try as you might.. you cannot get them to abandon the idea of India as a nation..
Try that with a Pakistan and see how that goes..There is a Bihari guy here who otherwise goes around boasting of Pakistan this and Pakistan did that and we are the nation with most potential...and the other day him and a Lahori guy were ready to tear each other up over and each was asking for their own state.. the Lahori wanted a separate greater Punjab with India while this guy wanted to throw him out of Pakistan(tables turned). That basically shows that the concept of Pakistan, why we want it, what it means to us is still not clear to many.
What are we taught about?:
Pakistan was made because congress had made the life of Muslims miserable after the 35 elections..
Ask them why did the congress do that?
and they'll go ummm. ummm. ummm.
When you do not know the reasons behind your existence.. why the choice became a hobsons choice.. and why now today.. that dream of Pakistan is dead and new one has to be made.. one that bridges the old ideals with new life..
