Re: Being poor in Pakistan…
I would like to add the domination of one ethnic group or geographic group in the Military is no neccesarily a bad thing…it is very common in the US and other Nations..it is when that applies to the political system..then you have problems..
NEWSLINE Consider this excerpt: “The focal point of Punjabi domination was and remains the army. Seventy-five per cent of the army is drawn from three Punjab districts (Rawalpindi, Jhelum, and Campbellpur) and two adjacent districts in the NWFP (Kohat and Mardan). These districts contain only nine per cent of Pakistan’s male population. The officer corps is drawn from a wider, more urban base, but is still predominately Punjabi, often the sons of junior commissioned officers. Pakistan’s air force and navy are drawn from a much wider base.”
