Decoding Pakistan’s Punjabi Problem.

[Tiger Khan]

I could care less if someone despises us or doesn't, hatred is blind anyway.... Seems like Punjabi bashing is ya'll all-time favourite passtime. Talk about educated people...... LOL.
Whoever says something positive about Pakistan or Punjabis is deemed to be called a Pakistani and cursed till death (even if it's valid), whereas if someone says something negative about Punjabis or Pakistan he will receive all praise even if it's nothing but utter bull****. :')

And, its not that the Pashtuns in Afghanistan are loved by all the other afghan ethnicities. Guess we have much more in common than we think or wanna admit innit.

lol.. yeah

I think educated pashtuns are much more sophesticated... i dont know how many pashtun educated have you dealt with... but i know many educated pashtuns.. and i do not know of any other ethnic group to compare to them . honestly not kidding.. they are good looking,, have better command over language (except urdu) and have confidence.. other ethnic groups in pakistan does not have that ,, and this is the truth. ,. How many sophesticated Memons or punjabies do you know? lool.. you can take a paindo out of pind, but you can never take a pind out of paindo..

See.. look at the problem.. problem is nothing but education and peace.. give them that and you have made gods..

Also define "Shrewd" if you can lie, cheat and be dishonest you are automatically shrewed.. Why and how is that a quality.. if that is what is needed for development pashtuns shoudnt want that.. But truth is that is not needed..

For sucess, all you need is Honesty and Hardwork.. look at paksitan from international perspective.. it is mostly punjabi country so lets call it "shrewed". what has that earned it??
They are scared of other nation and call their cowardace their strategy.
Most other ethnic groups are not happy.
They themselve (Punjab province) is not much different than other provinces (Look at GNI of all the provinces of Pakistan).
Internationally, pakistan is a poor country..

THe better strategy would have been.. giving everyone their rights.. develop mining in baluchistan and KPK, Develop port in Baluchistan.. Develop power and defense sector in KPK and be honest and hardworking.. that would creat confidence by other ethnicities in punjabies and no one would talk about seceding,, and this would lead to a more united, developed and braver country..


Finnally, please do not confuse dishonesty with smartness... it can earn (dishonesty) you advatge in a short run,,, but it will always backfire in the long run..

Also i think pashtuns are better business man.. pashtuns have whole markets in lahore, faisalabad, karachi and other cities of pakistan.. no other ethnic group can claim that.. also most of the product that comes to pakistan from china is actually imported by pashtuns..

I agree with most of your points.
