Thank you Urstruly Sahib

Urstruly #414 {"But basically, the Punjabi mentality is that of being assholes themselves - the unconditional vassalage of British has absolutely stripped them of any attributes of a decent, proud and law abiding nation. I think, abot 80% of British Indian Army was from Punjab. These were the people who had no qualms shooting at their own brethren rallying in Jalianwala procession of Khaksars in Lahore; they had not qualms shooting at Ottomans in the Mecca right inside the house of Allah. Basically a Punjabi has a slave mindset - oppress the weak and kiss the ass of oppressor. That is the reason Punjabi army is killing people all over Pakistan , in Baluchistan, in Wazirstan while licking American testicles. Sometimes it makes me ashamed of myself that I am a Punjabi. I wish I could scratch this punjabiat off my skin. Currently, Punjab provides the bulk of the muscle to the corrupt ruling class that oppresses the rest of the country. Punjab lacks basic tennants of human dignity and self-respect. And I write it with a heavey heart and God forbids but I think it is no more a matter of ’if’, but it is the matter of ’when’ that the next biforcation of Pakistan that Na Pak fauj has in plans will be done in full complacence of Punjab."}

Urstruly Sahib,
Thank you for an honest and sincere confession. But, please don’t be so harsh and don’t generalize to include all Punjabis. There were plenty of Urdu-speaking people who sold out to the British all the way from the early 1700s down to this day. I believe that Mir Jafar, many of the Muslim Leaguers, and a lot of AligaRh graduates were all Urdu-speaking. In fact, AligaRh in UP, unfortunately, was the first "capital" of Pakistan. Many officers in the British Indian Army, several ICS guys, and even today, Mushy and that "temporary" military president before him, I forget his name, were all Urdu speakers. Nevertheless, thank you for recognizing the main malaise afflicting Pakistan today. You are a very honest person. If it makes you feel any better, I don’t endorse the MQM wholeheartedly either.
