Islam is the thread that binds different ethnicites and regions together in a unified Pakistan. Those who tried to build Pakistan on basis of secularism (secular Yahya, socialist PPP and socialist Awami League) ended up tearing the country apart.
Those who are trying to "excavate" that common thread from the ruins of Harappa and Mohenjo-daro will end up repeating the same experience.
What is the common link between me and a Kashmiri in Srinagar? Or between me and a Baloch in Kech or a Pashtun in Malakand or Sindhi in Hala? Its certainly not the language. Its the shared Kalima of La ilaha ilallah which dictates that a Pashtun in Malakand or a Baloch in Kech or a Sindhi in Hala is my brother, even though I cannot even understand his language, while a Sikh living a few kilometers on the other side of Wagha is not my brother even though he speaks my tongue and shares my culture.
Why did my great grandparents who lived in a Sikh state in India and were extremely well-off left everything and migrated to Pakistan? It was certainly not for Indus valley civilization.
Pakistan ka Matlab Kiya?
La ilaha ilallah
@_topgunn@muhammadwaqar_s and still contributes a tiny fraction of Karachi's tax collection. And no this is not about ports. The retails/wholesale markets contribute far more than whole punjab's collection.
@somnath1978 Old news. Time to stop wasting resources at ISRO. Give money to Tata and private companies, they will build satellites for India.
Tbh China and Pak are ahead of India
@AKRAMJANG Having said that, your support for your daughter in her studies abroad is actually inspirational. Her field of research is even profoundly intricate and futuristic. MashaAllah
اللہ آپ کو اور بچوں کو خوش رکھے۔
@AKRAMJANG جناب، پی پی اور بھٹو سے آپ کی وفاداری مالی فوائد سے ماوراء رہی جو اس دور میں غیرمعمولی ہے۔ بہرحال بھٹو پر تو مالی بدعنوانی کا بڑا الزام بھی نہیں لگا مگر حالیہ پی پی خصوصا سندھ میں سسٹم کے پچھلے 18 سالوں نے صوبہ کو کہیں کا نہیں چھوڑا ہے۔
بھٹو صاحب کا جاگیردار ہونا مفروضہ نہیں۔
@DOIOSINT Donot call a bunch of traitors on basis of their ethnicity. Surkhas (be them in Sindh, Punjab Baluchistan or elsewhere) have never accepted Pakistan. Always busy in plotting conspiracies.
@WalayatMalik1 Even for the first decade(experimental phase), the tenure of elected municipals can even be reduced to 3 years. This will prompt competition and people will be able to judge their own choices.
but our feudal families aka large political parties never want this system
Pakistan will advance in every field if the colonial posts of Commissioners, DCs, &ACs are ABOLISHED. Instead of British-made Divisions, Districts & Tehsils, we should have Municipal Govts in every city and a cluster of a few villages. We need directly elected Mayors & Councils!!
پیپلز پارٹی بےغیرتوں کا ایک ایسا ٹولہ ہے جو اپنی نااہلی اور کرپشن سے صوبائی دارلخلافہ کراچی کو تباہ و برباد کرنے پر تُلا ہوا ہے۔
یہ بےغیرت جب بھی کسی منصب پر قابض ہوئے یا تو انہوں نے ملک توڑا یا پھر کرپشن کا بازار گرم کرکے ملکی معیشت کو نقصان پہنچایا۔

@hassaninexile It won't be like something Altaf era.. surely worse. The neo-muhajirism will definitely bash MQM & Altaf but will be more intensified than ever. And if failed, it would be the last uprising by Urdu speaking community.
@bannedwarrior1 Unfortunately this is true but no one takes this seriously...In 1980s, the muhajir sentiment was divided due to JI and JUP. But today, even Jamaat won't/can't actively counter any such wave. The rage will be unseen.
