Thanks for the info.
The bottom line is that we all agree that renaming/naming/renaming etc. are trivial issues to begin with. Opposition to such trivialities makes them much bigger that what they should have been in the first place.
Pakistani ruling elite and educated elite (both Pashtun and non-P) have gotten into non-productive things so many times.
This is comical and perhaps tragic to see such debates.
If we ever develop non-tribal aka civilized ways, we could be debating how to do the following:
- raise the standard of living of Pakistanis (everyone)
- create love, harmony, or at least tolerance towards each other
- Find quick agreements on the ongoing issues such as electricity, petrol, and natural gas etc.
The reason Pakistan is not progressing at the pace we all would like is simple!
Our priorities about nation are all out of whack.
Once we set the priorities right, believe you me, Pakistan can change in 10 years.
p.s. We all should learn the lesson from the bad ways Kabulies have living in the last 100 years.
Look how ethnic chauvinism of Kabulies has treated their minorities like Hazara. And look how Allah’s punishment has come down on this gad-awful country. If we continue following the same inhumane and tribal ways, we too soon will become Islamic Jannat of Afghanistan, or Somaliaetc. or other Jannats like Sierra Leon, or Liberia etc.
It is still time for Pakistanis to repent. Still time! But it is running out fast.
