Re: The Ultimate Losers in Pakistan!

@Zakk

the rest of this argument is circular…you accept Punjab is the majority province..you accept it dominates because of it’s representation in the Army..(which you think it deserves by virtuee of better education and wealth)..you accept NWFP and Baluchistan have been unjustly treated..and yet at the same time..you don’t accept the fact that Punjab has a major role in both provinces plight? To me this is a pointless argument..you say the NFC is flawed..autonomy should be given..but you think the people of the provinces are to blame for not having any autonomy. And yet it’s nobodies fault..? Which Pashtun or Baloch can give them selves rights which have so obviously been taken from them? Only those who have taken their rights can return them…and those people sit in Islamabad..who again by virtue of it’s domination of the army, it’s majority population size and as you say it’s education are by and large Punjabi..overwhelmingly..with quite a few Mohajirs and the odd pashtun and Sindhi thrown in for good measure.

I dont think its is the fault of the Punjabis that they are the majority in the Army..
I said that Punjabis are more numerous in trained man power, (not better trained) and thus they are able to find jobs not in army but in technical fields etc. This is not the fault of Punjab, you simply hire where the man power is. Thus you cant blame them for having a bigger pool of trained manpower.
But I dont accpet that Punjab is the reason for the screwed up aspects of the other provinces. Punjab is only getting more money and better infrastructure due to its higher Industrail output.
I do agree that the other two provinces need to be helped in catching up, but I dont see how that possible when no one is willing t invest and the provinces themselves have such bad reputations.
I do think that the govt is doing all it can to help the two provinces, with projects like Gawadar port. I also think that there are better times ahead for NWFP with improving situation in Afghanistan.
Autonomy should be given and NFC should be changed. No ones fault. Unlike you im not laying the blame on Punjab… I am saying the people of the province must make themselves heard so that the govt understand the urgency of these two things, but at present I dont see anyone doing anything. The only one making hue and cry about it is you! It should be the responsibilty of your provincial govt to do somthing, and yet all the do is pass idiotic laws like the Hasba bill. With people like them voted into office, I wonder how dedicated Pathans are to you cause!
And no one took any rights from Pasthuns and Balochis, they have as many rights as the people of Punjab. In fact, there are many Punjabis who have lost their rights aswell, and yet you see yourselves as the victims only which is stupid and narrow minded. I told you before that you need to leave you NWFP enclave and see the rest of the country before you pass judgement on anyone.
The Army sits in Islamabad and is dominated by Punjabis, but the head of the Army who is calling all the shots, just happens to be Mohajir. Doesnt seem like Punjab domination there. But I admit that the Army has invested in heavily in Punjab, both through private individuals and as a unit.
But this is not somthing you should blame the Punjab or Punjabis for, its only due to lack of proper democracy that such imbalance arrises.
Ultimately, I see this as just your arguments based on nothing but bitterness agaisnt some invisible enemy. I think you need to open your eyes and see the reality for what it is. Its not solely the fault of punjab that the NWFP hasnt progressed.. I think you need to point some fingers at yourslf and your society..
