Re: Beautiful Port City Karachi burns again…
Screw MQM and screw these supposed injustices. I am a member of the same community, and all this moaning about this supposed isolation is so ****ing stupid. In a country where we have malnutrition and starvation in parts of the country, where specific segments of the population are proven to have successively got shorter over decades because of poverty.. the reasons you lot give for your supposed isolation and your resort to violence is oh, our quota in government jobs is less than what we think it should be.
Boo-frickin-hoo. You live in a city that supposedly contributes 75% of the revenue. That means a LOT of private sector jobs that other areas of the country do NOT have access to. Content yourself with that (very large) pool of resources. You have more schools and colleges than most other areas of the country. Unless your schools havent seen maths teachers for years because they all left for the big cities (i have personally taught in one such rural school) please dont whine about isolation and domination and all that rot because it feels like an elite group moaning about their fine cheese being two days old and we’re so victimized while of the country starves.
If Pakistan were a communist country (not that I’d want it to be)… if all resources were equally divided amongst its citizens.. education… property… jobs.. urdu speakers would have a lot less as a group, not more.
What makes Karachi ‘our’ city? If it is anybody’s it is the ethnic sindhies. As immigrants ourselves (and often from humble backgrounds) we should welcome all immigrants of all stripes.
