Oh and one thing I noticed, Karachi people think that urdu language belongs to them. They are the ones that can speak urdu language properly and no one else can. That is so weird. Have they ever heard people from Lucknow speak urdu? I think that is the most purest form of urdu that is there. Urdu in Pakistan has been diluted and mixed. It is not longer the pure urdu that people used to speak. It is becoming slang urdu. There is a huge difference between the urdu written in novels in the olden times and the urdu used now.
I am proud that I am originally from Pakistan and I can speak both Urdu AND Punjabi fluently.
Oh yes, insecurity shows as well as the complexes that people have, from their comments in the thread.
I was born in Karachi and lived there for 9 years then migrated (kidnapped by my parents) to Holland.
never lived in Punjab but my parents are from PUnjab
i am Pakistan but i feel punjabi
why? only because of the greenry nothing to do with anything else
i love greenry and unfortunatly there is so little space left in Karachi bc its so crowded
thought the Nazim of karachi is doing good work these days to make Karachi
pleasant city to live in.
I do know that karachi till 1970 was such a nice and pleasant city thats why it was called the city of light.
