You can’t force people to follow their culture. If you wanna leave behind Pakistan, then don’t expect your kids to follow thru with the culture that you decided to abandon and resist pressures to conform to local cultures.

That’s a sacrifice that you gotta make. If you’re not willing to make that saccrifice, then keep your hiny in Pakistan and try to change society there so that there ARE opportunities for people and that people don’t try to run away from the country.

In a drama about Pakistani kids born in the UK, I heared a phrase that fits very well here. The daughter says to her father:

Paani mai chalaang lagaate hain aur phir geele naa hone ki tawaqqo bhi rakhte hain.
