"Why the generation of Balochis, Punjabis and Pakhtoons which was born in Sindh, dont identify themselves as SINDHI? When i was in Karachi, I had lots of friends who were born in Karachi but used to identify themselves as Punjabis (not that I have any problem with that, but your question gives way to this question of mine)"
As far I know people born in Sindh are proud to call themselves as Sindhi. Pathans settled in Sultankot are very much Sindhis. So are Baluchis and Punjabis. Only Muhajir have kept their identiy separate and proud to be called themselves as MQM.
As regard Quota system I have seen large number of Muhajir living in Sindh are also beneficiaries of the system. Quota System exist every where in the world. Have ever heard of Quota System for minorities, women and disabled persons in Canada and USA. Educational disparity and/or less representation are the result of such system so that every one gets fair share. What's wrong with it?
If you think that Quota System was the basis of formation of MQM, then what it has done since 1986 to correct it? Dick, except killing, kidnapping, money exhorting, crime etc. MQM was formed by Zia-ul-Haq to counter Sindhis who always support PPP. But man proposes God disposes.
