That is indeed a failing of theres & that of the Sindhis too perhaps !
In Punjab we've never had those problems because (a) we already outnumber anyone & (b) the cornerstone of Punjab's ethnic & linguistic harmony has been pluralism & a lack of ethno-linguistic nationalism amongst the Punjabis.
But we must never forget that Pakistan was sought under the notion that the highest ideal for any Muslim is to transcend the tribalistic tendencies of ethno-linguistic nationalism & instead find unity in Islam as our Prophet (PBUH) taught us ! Regrettably still that is an ideal cherished by all throughout the ages but rarely practiced - We still haven't completely embraced it here in Pakistan either & these 'divisions' of who is an Original Inhabitant of this land & who isn't, doesn't help the cause for it is extremely counterproductive from both a 'rational' point of view (anthropology is a wonderful subject) & from a religious point of view !
which is more the reason for you guys to accept biharis of bd and willing and needy muslims of India ... as I am sure pakistan was made as a heaven for all subcontinent muslims who faced persecution.... should that only apply to a random cut off date in 47.
seems pakistani members have divided themselves between two extremes of pro ummah and anti ... there is a big resonable ground in between.
