Men in Khaki

Re:Salim_Chauhan#171

[..Ranjit,
It appears that the ``Trapped, surrounded, screwed and tattooed`` board is disappearing. :) ...]

Salim, my last point on this topic is that Mohajirs need to integrate with Pakistan. This is reality. Given that Pakistan has nukes, you have no chances of secession or reunification. So why bother with needless confrontation? Find a way to assimilate into the mainstream, start speaking Sindhi, Punjabi, do the bhangra, drink lassi, eat sarso da saag or tandoori chicken, do whatever it takes to dissolve your Mohajir/UP label. You left UP and India behind a long time back. So why hang on to it? You have a brown skin and you are a muslim. What more does it take to live in Pakistan?

The other thing is that Punjus on both sides of the border are finally reconciling now. Earlier Pakis would foam at the mouth on hearing the word ``hindu``. Now they are reopening temples, allowing people to visit them from India and even celebrating festivals. This is a welcome change. The mania for Kashmir seems to be receding as well. This reconciliation is very good for India and for Pakistan. The mohajirs should not play spoilers anymore. Last time you split us up in 1947. At least, for God`s sake, allow the people to come together now. If you want a good solution for your issues, that is the right direction to support - a warm peace with India which allows the mohajirs to go back and forth easily between both countries, thus providing security to your needs. You can do your bit by closing down all the madrassahs and jihadi factories in Karachi for a start. Since you control Karachi, how about doing something positive for peace by putting all the jihadis out of business in your hometown?

All this is driven for the quest to get a soft image...paki expats in the US had a conference on this last week..on how to create a positive image for pakiland and pakis..all that probing at Dulles and JFK has driven them to these lipstick on a pig projects..

Romair sahib,

(Justice Bhagwandas is busy in “Geeta Gyan” in the Ashram of Nilu Bhagwan, a spiritual lady from the judge’s native Sindh province, where she once lived as Nilu Sanjnani.`` )

His country is in the midst of a huge constitutional crisis and he is doing Geeta path. Whew!!!

#176 Ranjit Bhai,
Much of what you say is quite noble and well-intentioned - although there are several misconceptions. Mohajirs have not played the role of spoiler. Mohajirs are not the ones who are anti-Hindu - as you can deduce from this website alone. Mohajirs are the most frequent visitors to India and their relatives are the most numerous Indians visiting Pakistan - not just now, but from all the way back to the `50s. Mohajirs would be the first to welcome a peaceful, brotherly, and open borders with our neighbor. Thank you for your kind advice.

Thanks for posting Dr. Siddiqa-Agha`s interview. She is a smart cookie, no doubt, but she has opinions like anybody else.

Rumors of the Mushy`s exit from the scene of the action are highly premature and highly exaggerated, in my opinion! We (in the US) need him to complete the job.

Sau saal pehle
Mushy pahal-waan tha
Aaaj bhi hai
Aureeee... kal bhi rahega!

Very Interesting.
