The most vulnerable fault line of Pakistan is interior Sindh

Sindh has probably one of the most glorious history in South Asia but today it seems to be struggling. The Sindhi's fight against the British invasion in 1843 and their subsequent defeat at Battle of Miani which led them to being enslaved as part of British India is truely inspiring.

Yet today Sindhi people seem to be a dormant quantity. That puzzles me.
Could it be because the British historians lied about Sindh?
 
I think the most vulnerable fault line in Pakistan is Sindh. All thanks to PPP and Zardari extreme corruption, interior Sindh literally falls into stone age era. The situation is really bad in rural areas and I am sure Indian's can exploit local youth for a few thousand dollars.

The situation is very alarming so we must kick out PPP in Sindh immediately and invest in creating more jobs, SEZs etc to empower youth.
Litrate people of urban Sindh are running away, and they literary don't get any govt job.
The guys from rural area have no sense of rural areas, and thus when these guys, who mostly come on corruption or quota, they devastate whole system.
So I think it's time for Pakistani planners, that how they will bring balance in Sindh, otherwise, yes, you are right, things have gone from bad to worst.
For example, I passed an exam of lectureship, stood third overall, and I was not called for even for an interview. The guys who were selected against the posts, were not present in the written test.
But still it's not a fault line, though, but yes a cancer.

So called "Islamic Socialism" and building a tomb for Bhutto does wonders eheheeeee

From another thread -

Sindh has some serious issues and PPP, Murad, MQM, Altaf Bhai are the symptoms of that. The real issue is the Mohajir/Sindhi, urban/rural divide which of courses throws up the symptoms. The reality is mass migration from India into Sindh failed to integrate. That failure of integration has created deep divides in Sindhi polity which of course feeds the politics that you see played out in that province. And Murad/Altaf Bhai are the symptoms of that structural malaise at the heart of Sindh.

I am reminded of Northern Ireland in UK which suffers from similar problems despite being part of one of the worlds most prosperous, mature, competent states in the world. I am reminded of this as my daughter who is doing masters in higher education policy has just come back from Belfast after a stint there at Queens University Belfast as part of her research into the education system there and issues revolving around the divide they have. Listening to her 'on the ground report' was interesting as it painted a picture far worse then UK media covers. But I thought perhaps the same sociological issues are playing out in Sindh as well.

Perhaps a ethnic Sindhi can give some input. Sindh for me is the least understood part of Pakistan. Sindh has probably one of the most glorious history in South Asia but today it seems to be struggling. The Sindhi's fight against the British invasion in 1843 and their subsequent defeat at Battle of Miani which led them to being enslaved as part of British India is truely inspiring.

In any big country you gonna have that one minority group that has problems Turkey has it with the Kurds Iran has it with the Arabs,Kurds and Balochis, Pakistan has it with Sindhis and Balochis and PRC has it with the Uyghurs and Tibetans
