Third, I dont want to be part of the exploitative system that I love to bash while living here, cuz I am sure once there I'll find tons of excuses to justify it while using it to my own benefit.

Something tells me you are being too hard on yourself. Very refreshing introspection - wish most of us were so honest - self included.

I wouldn't move back and I hope all my relatives were able to leave that place. We are treated like third class citizens there.

How were you treated like third class citizens? You got out. Didn't you? That means you had more opportunities than most Pakistanis have. Third class citizens are those Pakistanis who live below the poverty line and barely feed himself. You might have been a second class citizen, and so is every other Pakistani except for the government officials, pirs, waderas, chaudris etc. People who oppress the third class are the ones who get to be on the top.
On the other hand, I do respect your feeling and you have the right to stay away if think you didn't like how you were treated over here. Heck I curse the place everyday, but that's life and I know there people who have it worse, not in some far off place, but right here in my neighborhood.

So this is to all the expats here.

Are their any conditions or reasons which could make you consider moving back to Pakistan on a permanent or even a temporary basis? Would anybody do so by their choice with no obligations or conditions involved.

To those who dont EVER see themselves moving or going to Pak…what are your reasons?

Discusso please

PS let’s keep it civil and not jump into the FOB vs ABCD/BBCD war here

I am scared of the corruption, I don’t want my family to become part of that corrupt system.

I've lived in Pakistan...in manyy cities due to my fam moving around a lot.

But pay me a million pounds and I will never live there again. I'll go for hols...and when I do its been for max a week.

I love London too much...and water...and electricity...and men not staring at me like I'm the first woman they've seen...lol.

Re: Moving back to Pakistan . .

Something both my dad and father-in-law tried but unfortunately it's really really hard for people who have lived in western countries long enough and have worked clean jobs making an honest living. The corrupt and two-faced society in Pakistan is not everyone can survive in. Only few lucky ones maybe. Besides, friends and relatives think it's raining money on you and just want to use you.
Oh in the case of my dad and fil, neither made it out alive.

@hareem01

No. I wanna stay away from my relatives.

@firenze

well lets put in perspective if you have already made up mind, that we left the country forever - you don’t need to come up with excuses that oh. just stop there. you don’t need to justify yourself and neither being judgmental on what others are thinking.

if the life is all about stability & luxury i wonder why the suicide rate is all time high in the most stable & develop country like Japan. in my eyes nationalism is more then stability, family and peace of mind. if you can’t able to secure a good job or setup a proper business well don’t blame Pakistan because maybe the lack of resources or expertise was on your end.

That’s true, but there are simply more facilities and support systems in place in the West, making it much easier for someone to succeed.

I would move back if the political situation was better, and the mindset of the people changed. The mindset cannot come before the country is stable, so for me, it’s mostly about the politics. I do intend to give back to the best of my ability.
