Re: Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language
Oh please. Just because I don’t wear my ethnic pride on my sleeves or cry rivers about my Mother Tongue and flaunt any victim complex doesn’t mean I have any complex about my mother tongue. If you get any cheap thrills by harping about any stupid stereotype about Punjabis and their language, then go ahead. Go on, judge my love for my mother tongue by handful of posts I make on your forum. Give me a rating. I want to know where my love for Punjabi stands. Likes of you will be the first one to cry the day Punjabi nationalism really kicks off. But as they often say, if I’m indeed a real Punjabi then it is beneath me to feel like a lousy victim and warrior nationalist all in one, innit? I’ll leave this job for others. Try something else.
I do applaud you for going around in circles and still not answering the real question that why PPP and other nationalists failed to grant to Sindhi the official language status if it was that big of a heartache for the locals? Don’t shoot the typical PPP response where the clock is forever stuck in 70s.
Don’t you dare pull the pathetic racist card! So typical of Sindhis (be it Urdu speakers and PPP walas) to pull the racist card when asked to explain the violent racism in that province. The only and the best answer is to call the person who asked this question a racist for questioning their xenophobia. If you really want to take things down that route, then I can brand you as a bigger xenophobe and racist. It is child’s play to throw these terms around on internet. Whether you like it or it, Pakistan was the new country and it needed a binding medium which was provided in only national lingua franca. There is was justification to aggressively introduce Urdu in Pakistani schools, whether you agree with it or not is a totally different issue.
so bismillah. The day Punjabis own their language, they will understand others attachment for their language.
I gave you my version of understanding that who promoted Sindhi in Sindh. Why Sindhi has not been given national status is behind the thought that more national languages will divide the country. Talk of fragile patriotism by likes of you who are thekedar of Pakistan with their pathetic complexes.
