I just want to know peoples opinions about if Pakistan was to split into the 5 different countrys regions proposed, how would you feel about it, I see a lot of people claiming that it is run by the ‘Punjabistani’ government instead, and it doesn’t house minorities or ensure their rights, people like Baloch, KP, Sindh, Kashmir etc.
Whats your opinion, personally I just wished we all didn’t have these caste pride things anyways.
i believe most [99% or even higher] Pakistanis would never ever accept any further divisions of Pakistan. i’m sure that’s the most prudent thing to do…NOT to opt for further divisions of the country.
Well let’s pray that the rich elite and the religious elite, and the religious nuttery all figure out that they are driving the country apart and learn how to bring people together, instead of pitting minorities against each other and instead of giving unjust and undue advantage to one province over others or one race over others.
Maybe we can start by quitting this practice of restricting marriages to our own small community or we can start by hiring people that are not from our ethnic background.
Division won’t solve any problem. For instance if you separate Sindh, the small waderas will start shouting that they are minority and mistreated by bigger waderas. Deros and Shoros will keep fighting and demand further division until they all rule a small peace of land with no one to report to upstairs. Its just like first the muslims had problem with indians and demanded autonomy, and now from that muslim land the pakhtuuns, sindhis, punjabis and balochis demand autonomy, it will never stop this way. Majority of countries I think have a similar situation including China, and India with small separation movements.
Like it or not I think deep down in our core we all are racists, no matter how hard we try to change we will always have a soft side for people from the same region/community as us. But obviously looking out for our own is considered a good thing, and therefore the preference in job openings and marriages.
I have a suggestion though. If we all support racial harmony and want to live in a world where we treat everyone equally irrespective of their zaat, I suggest moderators to remove the zaat field and discourage those who demand this info from the following thread http://www.paklinks.com/gs/wedding/444396-find-a-match-gs-zaroorat-e-rishta.html?highlight=rishta put your money where your mouth is.
Musharaf, Zardari, Benazir were hardly Punjabis were they? That whole notion is absurd. Those three despite being non-Punjabis hardly did anything for minorities themselves.
Every Pakistani is suffering today regardless of ‘race’. A poor cycle wala in Punjab struggling to feed his bachay and biwi admist the torrent of the criminal and corrupt culture is hardly doing any better than a Balochi or Sindhi.
Anyhow… Let’s say, if Sindhu desh becomes an independent “country”, what will happen when the inevitable muhajir-sindhi riots will occur? What about Sindhi Hindus vs. Sindhi muslims?
If Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa will become part of this “Loy Afghanistan” that many Afghans dream about at night, you think Hazara will be jumping to join Afghaniland?
Balochistan is not inhabited by just the Baloch. What is going to happen to the Hazarawals and Pashtuns once BLA/BRA and co. get their Azad Balochistan?
Then, Punjab. It defo is going to be Seraikistan vs Potoharistan vs Lahore and the rest of Punjab.
Maybe Gilgit-Baltistan will succeed to stay together.
I am not trying to be Zaid Hamid, but I do not believe in a Pakistan that will break up into smaller “countries”. I would say, most Pakis know and realise that they are connected and dependent on each other, even if some of them hate to admit it. Maybe, this is what keeps Pakistan together.
I wouldn’t want further division of the country but if Punjab is not broken down into smaller provinces, I could see Pakistan breaking into smaller countries.
**No my friend we already split Pakistan from Hindustan which the British named India. also remember that Hindustan was one country and ruled by Muslims!
so in essence Hindustan a Muslim ruled Country was split in two because of Religious differences, and then Pakistan was split in two because of language differences.
guess how many languages are spoken in today’s India?**
As a Pakistani, let me answer your question. Let’s say… If tomorrow India would cease to exist and instead we would have “countries” such as Khalistan, Assam, Nagiland et cetera… Pakistan would finally have just one border to worry about, instead of two. :halo:
