Where have the real Pakistanis all gone?
It seems like everyone is turning into the ultra-liberal nangey-pungey kanjar-mirasi types or the hardcore-fanatical types.
Where did all the real Pakis go? Who were conservative without being fanatical and liberal without being bayhayaa?
I miss my Pakistan, the Pakistan of contradictions where the local Mullah and Madam Noor Jehan/Ustad NFAK were equally part of the picture.
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
seems like we lost the Pakistan all of us love back in 90s....somehow things have changed drastically in the new millennium..and it is heartbreaking:(

what was so good in the 90s ?
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
no suicide attacks...one tv channel(less beyhayayi)....peace in tribal areas....we were not scared to get out of our homes....cricketers would not chew balls...we would not hear ugly news after every 5 minutes on the channel....Pakistan was beautiful in 90s....etc etc...
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
^ really? Even Karach in the 90s?
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
hmm ya even Karachi.....there were some sectarian issues that we used to hear about but stillllll things were much much much better than today....
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
ummm,
hmm ya even Karachi.....there were some sectarian issues that we used to hear about but stillllll things were much much much better than today....
were you some where in hibernation in 90's?
Karachi, Punjab were burnt with sectarian violence. Jhang was completely destroyed... Tribal Area's were as hot as they are today, the only difference was Pakistan government never try to establish writ of state in those areas in 90's.
thousands of women were killed on the name of "izat" all over Pakistan and it was accepted on the name of so called religion.
today you are crying here about 90's because their wasn't any media freedom at that time, their wasn't any 30 channels give you so much information that you can't even digest...
90's was worst then today in every way !
no suicide attacks...one tv channel(less beyhayayi)....peace in tribal areas....we were not scared to get out of our homes....cricketers would not chew balls...we would not hear ugly news after every 5 minutes on the channel....Pakistan was beautiful in 90s....etc etc...
so the issue is you were living in cave in 90's, coz the so-called beyhayai was present at that time too. the stage shows with stage dances were running all over Punjab, The diamond market (heera mundi) in lahore was as vibrant as it is today ..
ladies were wearing pants in posh area's of Isb, Lhr, khr.. i don't see any difference except this is showing on tv what actually happening on ground from 60 years !
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
The author of this post is lamenting the happy & safe Pakistan of the past - where all people & views co-existed.
Instead of attacking the person - look at the message.
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
Pakistan is still the same . Now we just have media to show us what is going on .
Ignorance is bliss . . . trust me .

i know exactly what u mean..i also miss that paksitan..that was my paksitan..my culture..:(..
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
that was time when paksitan was modern yet conservative..no behayai and no suicide bombs..no hadhs were parred..that was my paksitan..
its changed n changing..makes me soo sad..where do we fit in ..the people who never changed..?..
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
it was modern in the 60s, but it ws also fairly liberal, you had clubs, places with belly dancing, heck we almost had a huge casino open up.
but the point was, you can do what you want.
it was actually a big tourism destination at the time..backpackers descending upon karachi and then going inland..to northern areas and all.
there was bayhayai, as you call it, but ppl were not forcefed that by media, similarly there were very conservative pockets but they did not force their views on people. at one time groups like jamat e islami were not political parties..
read a lot about it.
where is arjay bhai when u need him, he has seen all of it and can give a firs hand account of the way things were.
Re: Where did my Pakistan go?
^ it was golden days, why i wasn't around those days, you people must have enjoyed the life and leave us on the hands of these scum of earth today :(
