The problem is that we never really had honest debates about who we are, what do we want and were we are heading.We are just limping along as a nation w/o understanding purpose of our existence. Also, the popular talking points are driven by those who have interest of self-preservation and keeping the status quo, and who seem to shout loudest (and kill too, for Islam of course) & not to forget the cooked up history fed to them.

I have said this before and I will say it again. Ask any Pakistani on the street he will have an answer to who he is and what it means to him to be Pakistani. And I bet you right now he will do so with sarcastic humor that is more of a back handed compliment than a serious introspective comment. Why? Because that is our national character. Throw what you want us. We survive with a wicked sense of humor.

If people have questions about their self of identity vis a vis our national identity, that is an individual issue not a collective one.
