Re: Viewpoints from Sindh
I HATE to see any kind of ethnic fighting or infighting. In my view ethnicity is something played on by politicians when the actual struggle is one of class more than anything else. There is no need or call for ethnic based infighting. BUT as you ask. Thats my fear. Look at the anger in the country right now. The lack of democracy and opression is leading to a civil war. If the elections are rigged their will be a civil war. Everything is hanging on a string. And yes like you asked, Karachi will be the main target and will suffer the most. It has the biggest mixing pot of ethnicities. The Sindhis already were targetting non-Sindhis travelling in the Sindh country side after Dec. 28th. In places like Punjab or NWFP the effects would be minimal. While you see some ethnic tension in Lahore\Pindi between Punjabis and the minority groups, the tension is really quite minimal and I can't imagine ever seeing anyone kill over it, nor do I ever recall any instance of ethnic violence in these areas.
Let all hope for the best. I think we are all on the same page in hoping things stabilize and the federation stays strong.
What minorities in Punjab? They are hardly any.
