Let me speak freely and I can express my feelings more openly, we can keep everything short and simple with this formula
Sindh is for Sindhi brothers
NWFP is for Pakhtun brothers
Balochistan is for Baluchi brothers
Punjab is for Punjabi brothers
Pakistan is for Pakistanis only
now let the other decide if they wanna call Pakistanis or still Muhajrs? Being its their 3rd and 4th generation is growing in Pakistan and they still rather be called Muhajrs, so send them back where they belong.
LOVE IT OR LEAVE IT.
So what do you propose to do about the Seraiki, Hindkowan, Brohis, Kutchi, Chitrali and other smaller ethnic groups. Do you propose to exterminate them. And how about the Punjabis and Pashtuns in Baluchistan. I am assuming your suggestion is a bullet.
The quicker we except Pakistan is a multi-ethnic country the better.
It is time to say bye bye to the term "Mohajir", and we should insist on being called Pakistanis. That's all.
No more ethnic fascism.
oh bhai agar hamaray haath mai hota to bachon ka khilona hota... its people who push the questions "who are you" even when they know we are Pakistani, what does that mean?
If there was no MQM, it didn't matter what term got used to name us.
However now!
The term Mohajir has been hijacked by Mohajiron Qi Maut Party. And thus the term is no longer usable for any other purpose.
For example, the term Nazi was like "who cares" before Hitler took over and then, the same generic term became very very very specific.
And as they say "the rest is history".
It is time to say bye bye to the term "Mohajir", and we should insist on being called Pakistanis. That's all.
No more ethnic fascism.
Burqa,
But the Germans are still German, despite the Nazi association.
The reason why the term Muhajir has been used is because at least 40% Muhajirs are not Urdu-speaking. We have Gujaratis, Kokanis, Dakanis, Malbaris, Andhra and Tamil Muslims. But there experience matches that of the Delhi/ Rajasthan /UP/ MP and Bihar Muslims, whose first language is Urdu. And the term predates the MQM. I have no problem describing myself as a Muhajir.
Pakistan is state and not a nation. Ask any Punjabi, and he will bore with discussions about their history and culture and quote verses from Bulleh Shah. Its only us Urdu-speakers who are embarased of our culture and language. I am just as guilty, with my knowledge of Urdu being really poor. Its about time we took as much pride in our culture as other Pakistani ethnic groups.
