Arabification of Pakistan and Pakistani culture:

The phenomenon of Arabisation of Pakistan the country is laughable and is nothing but crass, bitter, aggressive politically motivated exaggeration. It often comes from people who don’t even live in the country! Yet they have the audacity to make such sweeping remarks about a culturally, ethnically, lingually, religiously, geographically and environmentally diverse country of 180 million people.

Talk about Arabisation of Muslim communities and it is indeed a real phenomenon and I can write a whole book on it. Part of the reason behind such change is due to bunch of confused inferiority complex ridden Asians who have turned the word ‘desi’ into such a pejorative term to the point that young generation don’t think it’s ‘cool’ to have any association with culture, so they tend to vouch for pan Arabism to fit into the larger Muslim community of the West.

The recent example from UK: An ordinary Bengali Moulvi being called ‘Shai-ekhhh’ by fellow Bengalis, Indians and Pakistanis. However, In Pakistan, words like Qari Sahab, Moulana Sahab, Mufti Sahab etc are still commonly used for clerics, not Shai-ekkhhh.

Mostly I have exactly the same views as you, being a PTI supporter, so how can the bold bit be even true? What political motivations are you even talking about?

As for your last two quoted paragraphs above, I entirely agree. The Muslim community here in UK (and most of them Pakistanis not Indians or Bengalis), before I get jumped on let me clarify the Muslim community** I have seen around me**, are dumping their own culture and adopting Arab customs which is what I wanted to get across before and by looks of it failed miserably.
