I am not a very old member of GupShup but i do read the threads on and off. Masha Allah what amazing negativity i have seen from these threads. In every other threads there is a mention of “Desis”, “FOBs”, “Cheap People”, “Paindoo”, “Esp Pakistanis” etc. Why are you guys so allergic to Pakistan and Pakistanis? Why do you need to specially mention “Pakistan” “Desis” “Pakistanis” in every thread?
GS is equally everyones, you people dont have special privileges to have a right to continuously criticise Pakistan & the desis. its not like you all are full of purity and so much of superitiority. If desis are paindoo, then you all are extra modern and a vast majority has way forgotten their origins and lets not even bring up the topic of dressings. Lets not forget, your parents are Pakistani too and many of your family members too.
We are Pakistanis and we live in a country struggling for survival. At least we put in efforts on our grass root level to improve the condition. Many of us have participated in the long march, different protests, Project Roti, Project support our schools, project help the poor etc. Or at least some of us have made our own companies, our own schools etc. We have some input in improving the country. But really what right do people living abroad have to criticize and continuously comment on our lifestyles and well beings? What has any one done to help Pakistan come out of the circumstances .. what most have done is run abroad for a better living selfishly.
I am sorry but i am very hurt after reading your views. If you are so allergic to us stay away and mind your own businesses instead of criticising the minutest of things. The least you could do is stand up for Pakistan when you yourselves are ambassadors of this nation in another country. If you dont want a Pakistani brought up for marriage, fine no problem but dont come announcing everywhere. We dont want UK-US brought ups as well but we dont come publicising it.
I know the way i have explained is harsh for many of you and the all so famous Character Assassinations will start in just in a while. I am waiting. But really do look at yourselves once that what really gives you all a right to criticise us, our life styles, our brought ups, our dressings, our everything. ??? I am a DESI and very proud of it!
