Relatives back in India

Re: Relatives back in India

@KKF

when i visited Pakistan, i couldn’t help but notice that people there have such a class/status consciousness that they abandon/neglect their own sisters and brothers who aren’t as affluent and/or less in social status.

i wanted to see my host’s sister who lived in Rafa-e-aam society. he made excuses. so, i drop the idea. i took a taxi and went to see his sister.

this was like 13 years ago when Karachi was peaceful. he had no excuse. his sister told me that her brother hadn’t visited her like in 5 years…she visits him by taking public transportation.

now, mA, she is doing very well financially. she still lives in Rafa-e-aam society. her children got good education and are working in Saudi Arabia. mA

at least this doesn’t happen in India. people visit each other irrespective of status or neighborhood.

where is this rafa e aam society you are mentioning to? never heard of it.
And yes, you are right, people are so very status conscious here.
