Re: Sons of Soil and Sindhi Language
Thank you very much, Punjabis very much own their language and are very attached to it. You can stop worrying about Punjabis and concentrate on soothing your own pathetic complexes. Rest assured, Punjabis don’t need to constantly cry about to prove this to people like. There is a reason why their language is considered such an inviting and easy to pick up language purely on the basis of social experiences because it’s speakers don’t attach any self important snobbery to the language. Let them develop their province to the point where people from outside go there to find jobs and pick up their language out of love and respect, just like plenty of Urdu speakers, Pashtuns, Baloch, Kashmiris and Saraikis have done over the years. I’d weep the day Punjab gets fooled in the name of ethnic pride and xenophobia and violent racism becomes its identity.
And please don’t be threatened by ‘patriotism’, I don’t even know what it means, and I wish I could be real a thakedar of Pakistan. I’d like to think that I might just be able to make xenophobia slightly uncool if I ever land in such position. No bad, eh?
