Re: sindhis not happy with pakistan
KK bro! Mohajirs in East Pak did contribute to the ethnic hatred. Just like Sindh, Mohajirs in Bengal refused to assimilate. Just like Mohajirs find it very difficult to learn Sindhi, they found it impossible to learn Bengali. Mohajir bureaucracy was as corrupt as their counterparts in the West wing.
However we should quit the blame game and self flagellation about BDesh. BDesh was created by Sh. Mujib (period).
Do you ever hear Bengalis say that a Punjabi or Mohajir or Sindhi is the Bangla Bundhoo (founder of BDesh)?
No off course not. *Sh. Mujib was the architect and founder of BDesh. Others may have helped him along the way, but the credit of making BDesh goes to Sh. Mujib and none other. * And you and I should never try to take away that credit from him.
You bring valid points. I say this however:
Mujib was the leader for the independance struggle of Bangladesh. In that the proponents for separation from the Pakistan federation used violent and less than honorable tactics, but that is more often the rule in most struggles for secession and self determination than not. And it does not discount the fact that Bengalis did feel slighted and disenfranchised by the state. ANd instead of addressing their genuine grieviences, we chose to ignore it and did what a thirdclass apathetic leadership would resort too: spin the issues and gripes so that any discourse is met with contempt. And the course taken by our country in former East Pakistan (disregarding the gross exaggerations) were and will remain a black mark on this country's history. But wise is a nation which recognizes its mistakes, and engenders more effort to make sure that situation does not rise again. And good is a people who don't take pride in adverse course of their nations actions.
Second, Urdu or the peoples who migrated to Pakistan are very well integrated into Pakistan and they have done very well in all aspects of its life. Nowhere are the Urdus required to adopt the language of the place they move into. That adoption of a another culture and language is a more subtle process with multiple social and historic factors at work.
The only and the only criteria for being a Pakistani is none other than pledging allegiance to the constitution, the idea of Pakistan and its flag. That's about most of it. Urdu is the national langauge of the country, and pre MQM Urdus did'nt necessarily have an increasingly haughty or hostile relationship with other peoples where ever they congregated.
That in the 1980s we saw a demand for justice among the Urdus mostly settled in the process of Sindh and specifically in Karachi, had its roots in just grievances. We should atleast recognize that.
