I’ve noticed, at least for most of the part, that in countries like USA, if you are a Republican then your whole family will be and so on and so forth. It is not like that in Pakistan. It was very common to see in Karachi that Parents are JI supporters while Son is a MQM activist. I’ve seen families where unmarried siblings living in the same household are supporting different parties. Even in my own home, in late 80’s early 90’s time frame, during some election time, we had two flags waving on our rooftop; PPP (my sister) and MQM (my brother).
IS it still like that in Pakistan? How about India?
BTW, I think that people from same family (especially active politicians) select different political parties to get advantage of the party who comes in rule. Simply opportunist approach
I am not talking about the politician families but general public.
I remember arguing with my Dadi (who was a supporter of PPP) during college days. She was of the opinion that 'apna maar kar bhi chhaon main rakhta hai' and I used to say 'apna hai to marta kiyun hai'. This argument made my Abba annoyed and he asked to shut-up, but Dadi said to Abba ' hum Dadi pote ke beech mat aao. hamen apne bachon se baaten karna acha lagta hai' :)
