I do not know what he went through. When ever I hear 3rd Class Citizen term, I just wonder what do they mean by that. There is no division once you are a citizen. They can't OFFICIALLY discriminate you on basis of religion, race, language or ethincity. Many Pakistans are successful business man or good in job. Talent is taken care of. Discrimination is FAR less than what happens in Pakistan where people do not even marry outside their baradari or what not...
About forgetting family, you hear news of son killing/beating his parents over some thing.. Those kids are born raised in ISLAMIC REPUBLIC of Pakistan then what happens to their religion and culture ?
Once you immigrate, you do it by choice. I am very much comfortable praying here than I am in Pakistan... We are allowed to practise religion as per our wishes. If one does not want to do it, its his her choice... Thats why Islam is getting more and more popular. Religion has been exploited in Sub Continent. About language, yes many struggle in this but this happens...
If your kids are born in US, Canada they are AMERICAN,CANADIAN not Pakistanis. Their Parents were but they are born. Consider loyality to your parent land, then probably all the people who migrated after independance should be loyal to india ?
Or the hindus that went to India should be loyal to Pakistan.. This is all within some one mind. If you are too busy running a taxi or store, and cant manage to give proper care to your family, its YOUR Fault not the country. I can count many many Pakistanis who came with nothing but are millionares and go to Pakistan very frequently. This is the reason, why many immigrants do not develop their skills because they treat them selves as foriegners. I am not against loyality to mother land but at the same time, you have to be loyal to country who accepted you when you requested...
Loyal to your religion and the land you belong to. Urdu and Islam are not co related...Yes, Culturally they are, but Pakistani culture is not necessaraly reflection of Islam.
There are countless families in Pakistan where there is no concept of Roza etc., while at my work place, they knew I am fasting so they avoided eating in front of me. Why should our media be publishing for people living abroad ?? Those people are abroad, not in Pakistan... I do not watch TV but I believe channels have different program when they are aired internationally
I think it might be much tougher to earn Halal money in Pakistan rather than abroad.. You can't even get a meter connection without paying any one...
Alhamdullilah, we are Muslims and Muslim ONLY.....
I love Pakistan but it does not means that I have to hate western world. Pakistan is in this state because people of Pakistan chose wrong people who decided their fate...
Do blaim other for your short comings.. Divorce issue is rising in Pakistan and I just recently observed. Language loss is pretty common as many families are speaking Urdu in Pakistan despite their parents speak a different language.
Many might disagree but this is how I see it and yes please get away with this 3rd class citizen mentality... Immigrants are now in Parliaments and key positions, while in Pakistan, for doing Politics you need a traditional family background and large baradari ...
We left PK, because of law and order situation and other issues that every one face. I do not feel like paying bribe every where. I do not want to be stopped at every check post asking for my identification... most importantly, when I go to Mosque I do not want to think if this is XYZ sect mosque...
and yes I live in a non muslim country ...
