The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

I think baba jee made a strategic mistake at the time of creation of pakistan by making provinces based on ethnicity and further so by naming them as such. I mean if Punjab was not named Punjab, punjabis wouldn’t consider themselves chaudharies of punjab and try to crush other nationalities living in Punjab…similarly if Balochistan was not Balochistan, balochs wouldn’t be killing punjabis saying Balochistan is for balochs and so on. I respect baba jee and I am sure he would have worked on this area if he were alive for a few years after independence. However, since he isn’t, I think all provinces in Pakistan should be dissolved and new administrative provinces be created while making sure that none of the provinces are based on ethnicity and neither province has a racist name. At least this would eliminate the chaudharahat of the nationalities living in these provinces since they cannot claim that the province is only for them as the name so suggests. I think the names Punjab, Sindh, Balochistan and KPK reek of racism. Lisanist/Asbiat is considered an ugly thing in our religion and nations have been destroyed over it. I think its high time, Pakistan did something about this problem.

The argument is not that smaller provinces shouldn’t be give opportunities and funds, its just that despite all that, there is this nasty element of racism in the names that somehow seems to encourage lisaniat in my humble opinion.

I am with you. I proposed division of Sind, and considered all above factor regardless of ethnicities.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

thats why I am in favor of another seperate 5th lisani accepetnce, if we four could be named and called as our provinces which each one have different culture why not 5th one who they have totoaly have a different lang./culture. OR change all other provinces name as OP quoted above.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces


chalo. iss ki kasar rah gai thi.

Now blame Quaid-e-Azam for current situation of Pakistan. I think it's the conspiracy of Zardari & Co. Sheesh. Nothing wrong with our zam zam ke dhuley khabees politicians.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

Well, Punjab in India is still called Punjab and so are the other states, besides Punjab is as such not an ethnicity (it means land of five rivers). As far as persecution of non Punjabis is concerned, I dont see that in Punjab though! This is the reason why during the past 10 years or so, the population of Urdu speaking and Pashtuns have increased in Punjab manifolds.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

Other ethnicities opressed in punjab??? where the hell have you been living dude??

talk about clueless people…:rolleyes:

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces


You said very right about Qauid e Azam but you didn't say a word about "zam zam ke dhuley khabees" Intermediate pass intellectual politicians who are responsible for all and actual rulers.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

Well, to some extent people from north punjab do feel oppressed. To give you an example of how racism works in provinces, for example, in Balochistan everyone from peon to director general in every public deparment is a baloch and it is considered a norm and they present the argument that since they are balochs, so they have a right on balochistan…and their leaders such as bramdagh openly support butchering other ethnicities since “balochistan is for balochs” regardless of whether any non-baloch who has been living there for generations. A number of people in their respective provinces think in a similar manner that since it is THEIR province, so they can damn do whatever they want to.

Put a hand on your heart and tell me what chance does a punjabi have of finding a govt. job in balochistan, a pathan in interior sindh and so on.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

Our khabees politicians are worst than dogs....... there, I said it ............ but that is besides the point.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

In a country where corrupt leaders are worshiped and those leaders seem to have their fingers on the pulse of their follower good luck with dissolution of provinces and starting a fresh. The moment some such action is taken by some brave soul khoon key nadian bah jain gee. Becasue of this ethnic hatred Kala Bagh dam is still a dream i guess the plan to build it seems to have been abandoned now. Just work on one plan , mass education and economic development every social evil we as a nation have will be automatically taken care of.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces


That's absolutely wrong.

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

Naturally you are talking about a division on ethnic bases.
Is it ?
We can discuss it seriously.
Is it possible and fruitful for any one ?

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

^ where did she claim that the division be done on ethnic basis ?

Re: The biggest problem is the name of the provinces

We shall have to see if anyone is demanding ,On which ground.
People of any district or division never demanded this.
Than it is really useless to talk.

I copy here a part of this Eid message from “ALTAF”
۔عیدالفطرکے موقع پراپنے ایک بیان میں انہوں نے دعاکی ہے کہ اللہ تعالیٰ پاکستان کواندرونی وبیرونی خطرات سے باہرنکالے، عوام کی مشکلات اورپریشانیوں کودور فرمائے ،قوم میں اتحادواتفاق پیداکرے،پوری دنیامیں جہاں جہاں امتِ مسلمہ پرجومشکلات ،مصیبتیں اورپریشانیاں آئی ہوئی ہیں انہیں دورکرے، مسلم دنیاکے تمام حکمرانوں کوعقلِ سلیم عطاکرے کہ وہ جغرافیائی وعلاقائی فرق کومٹاکر مسلم امہ کے بھرپور اتحادکامظاہرہ کریں اورامتِ مسلمہ کی مشکلات دور کرنے کیلئے کوششیں کریں۔
