What about this guy huh? He was as Pakistani as you my friend.
His family is still in Pakistan today afaik.
The man is one of Pakistan's greatest heros.
For those that are curious, his name was Wladyslaw Turowicz. A Polish-Pakistan who came to Pakistan as a refugee during world war 2 with his family (along with 30000 other Polish refugees, many of whom settled and still have family in Pakistan). He was an air force pilot and helped pioneer Pakistan's "Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission". He flew an F-86 Sabre, along with other Polish air force pilots, helped successfully defend Lahore from Indian air raids. He passed away at the age of 72 after a traffic accident in Karachi.
His family is still in Pakistan, for those that are wondering. His children married Pakistanis and a Bangladeshi (though they still live in Pakistan).
His wife is over 90 and still teaching Karachi University...I wonder if she voted?
They are a family worth praising, as they've giving so much to Pakistan. Just for allowing them to stay in Pakistan, they've given back 10 fold, plus interest back to Pakistan.
