Chupp oye. You and your lectures. Uncle.
Woooh hold your horses because when you 'assume' you make an 'asss' out of 'u' & 'me' - Don't do that !
No one fears celebrating our cultural & linguistic identities - We do go overboard at times, especially the Nationalists, as if being a 'insert your ethnicity of choice here' grants you a tail or a pair of wings, but no we're not uncomfortable with that....we're fairly proud & conscious of it - Just take a stroll in Pakistan one day !
My comment was in the context of Kashmiriyat which is often used to explain away how peace loving & docile the Kashmiris are whereas if one consults our history would know what a load of horse pisss that is - We're just a bunch of pansy arsed softies who got down over by the Mughals, then the Afghans, then the Brits, then the Dogras & finally now either Pakistan or India or both depending upon whom you talk to ! If one reads up on what we as a people had to go through during those times, especially when the Afghans ruled us, it makes your heart shudder & than when you read that in all those centuries we didn't come up with a half arsed military expedition to oust our unwanted & cruel rulers - You can't help but wonder whether this docility is really cowardice & whether our peacefulness really is spinelessness - I think it is.
Imagine if 1/100th of that had happened to the Pukhtoons, the Baloch or even the considerably more docile Sindhis & Punjabis whether they would've taken this much sh*t through the ages & yet done nothing about it !
