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!
Nice Post
No. of reason of this attitude
1.** All those Identity-Less US-UK-Pako blend** after Diaspora acted totally against what other nations did in that scenario. Indians ,Bangladeshis,Arabs even Jews associate them to Israel; and thier respective countries with pride but these Country-Less after dis-accosiating from it made them something Adha Teetar Adha Batair.Author rightly mentioned Palestini taking pride of thier country despite that it not exist but these Country-Less blend feels its a pride in cutting this connections.
2.Generally , living standard after Dispora significantly raised in terms of economics so sense of Pride of being a step high to thier fellow countrymen economically is depicetd in it which is somewhwre wriiten in another thread " Daisy Bandari tai Walaity Cheeka" means they used to ride 24 no. van while standing now dont talk less than Benz or Porsche.Similar attitude of women even in this forum is seen that these Naudaultiya **used to fight with shopkeeper on 2 2 3 3 Rs . in streets of Pakistan and used to be **Kangli and Tut Poonjia here now talk about Fasion Galleries of top Models and Designers and like they used to wear it pre-born for 9 months or talk about** Cafe and Cuisines** and they used to eat **Alooo Shora **3 days in a week
British Raj of 200 years mentally captivated the brains and everlasting image of "Slavery' still splash from these people menatality.They consider themselves Inferior **to Whites of UK and US. So , such act of Slavery is easily be seen in thier matters, dealings or even at personal level. Associating with thier native country strike a big hammer on this **Image of Slavery which they have woven around thier socio-politico circle.They think that pre 47 , British were thier** Masters and still now Uncle Tom and Queen of Britania are **. So in Slavery , they dis-associate from a seperate , sovereign or by large an independent country
This resaon is obvious from the mixing cultural phenomenon abroad with south indians whrer they ask questions like why we seperated , we can live happily, few politicians did it , this and that blah blah. Most of them have not even study the history and even not have a grip of all the scenario of Indian Muslims , thier lives , hardships and what the price all muslims have to pay if we were not seperated in 47.
Major factor is Fear .Check Pakistan intellectual brain Syed Muwahid Shah new book where he thoroughly described how masses and educated lots specially Doctors particularly in US are living in Miserably Pathetic way .Recent example is of Gaza issue where they refused to even condemn it on thier site even by one or two lines.
