Re: Expat Bhai/Baji, Pakistan is Pakistan yaar!

You guys seriously need to chill. Do you have an ABCD complex?

The op is just saying to stop looking down on Pakistan all the time. Everyone that visits Pakistan always complains. While the situation in Pakistan does suck, I know I wouldn’t be able to live there, the people there have made their own fun of the situation. The experiences that you get in Pakistan you won’t get here, and the experiences you get abroad you won’t get in Pakistan.

Do ppl make the best of it? Yes because they have to live with it. But let’s not romanticize the every day frustration of living with such realities.

What about the frustrations of living abroad? If you can make a con list for Pakistan, you can do the same for every country.

@Khumar

Identity crisis? What is YOUR identity? Clearly you’re more proud of being a “janjua” than being a Pakistani.** People in Pakistan are obsessed with who is an arain, pathan, from karachi, rajpoot** etc etc. At least when we are outside in those foreign countries, we are known as Pakistani-Canadian, Pakistani-American etc, **and not labelled and treated based on which village our great great great great grandmothers gave birth in.

I think minorities/Blacks/Latinos/Asians in the US would say that they are labeled and treated bases on their race which they have no role in choosing.
