Re: How many of you are you are proud of your roots?
This has got to be the most useless thread of the month. There is no place for nationalism in Islam. And to those who say it is possible to be proud of one's roots and be islamic at the same time in this day and age are only fooling themselves.
When a pali bomber blows s**t up, I get funny stares. Funny how the rest of the world that views us as a monolithic homogenous group of people under Islam--which we are obvioulsy not-- while we only sit here splitting hairs about who has got what fking mitochondrial DNA.
Re: How many of you are you are proud of your roots?
I am proud of my roots Muslim, Pakistani, Punjabi, Rajput.
you mentioned Pakistanis in west affinity to culture doesnt exist, I havent seen many Pakistanis but Indian who are more mixed and follow blindly the westerns whatever they do. you are you completely wrong here.
let me say about some of your claims, some are fine and you should be proud of these.
sure he is indian but not Azim, but Mr Mittel http://www.rich-*******s.com/d-RichLists.htm
there many other indians in MS higher than above mentioned person.
the current number system was invented by Arabic ( Al Khurazmi). there is very much doubt of its indian origin.
come on man, dont try to snatch evrything like Kashmir, Its part of Pakistan and belong to Pakistan and its people.
tell me how?
again dont take credit of Pakistani soul! pay due credit to Pakistani roots.
not the algebra
wow wow Indus valley, India??? Indus valley Pakistan to very precise and correct.
I am not trying to be critical. you could say Pakistan was part of India once. but the ground facts that belongs to Pakistani people of its land.
so just dont grab all to boost up the proud. you have enough to be proud apart from this.
Re: How many of you are you are proud of your roots?
There is a place in Islam for nationalism too, they have equal rights over each other, tribes, clans are recognised by Islam and are meant to identify people. There is nothing wrong taking pride for being Pakistani, Punjabi, or based on cast of clan or tribe and being Muslim.
Re: How many of you are you are proud of your roots?
yes i'm definitely proud of my roots (meaning i value my roots and feel great sense of loyalty to the race and religion i belong to)
To say that i dont feel any pride for my roots, is juz lame. It beats da sacrifices our ancestors made for our survival. yes i didnt asked to be born into wateva i am tdy but face da fact, i am wat i am by fate. My roots are recognised by my physical appearances, i am the walking talking breathing symbol of my roots. i cant deny it even if i wanted to. walking down da street, if i hav to hear racist remarks, its also due to my roots :D
But all that is of small importance. maybe some angrez in pakiland is also facing da same problem this very moment?
Re: How many of you are you are proud of your roots?
No, I am rather more proud to be a memon rather than to be an Indian. But I owe to India since I got education in federal govt funded institution and faced almost no discrimination during my job despite having muslim identity. To be frank with you and to be honest, when there is any contest (like sports) between India & Pakistan, I am pro-Pakistan while my family is pro-India. But I would never like either India or Pakistan to be falling down but at the same time I want Kashmir to be an independent neutral country in the present scenario.
I must say that I have fractured loyalty to both India and Pakistan which will turn into a full fledged loyalty if both country get united.
