Our Racism

Very dry!

I particularly like the phrase, `your gosht was more soup than anything``, which is now legendary among our fam...

Bravo Zia! I think we the Pakistanis are the racist people of all!
I remember my g`pa an ex-General`s words to him `Bloody Bangolis`
were the menace. He told me when the Pak Army used to caught
Bangolis they used to say ``We are Punzabi`s not Dogs`` !
I find that kinda funny but come again its bad. Racism is everywhere
in Pakistan, once i had an arguement with my principal and he told
me `your knowledge comes from the Yahoodi Books` and I was damned!
We can`t ever tolerate opposition and we tends to get frustrated. Remember
Salman Rushdie Episode? Well the Muslims made Salman Rushdie my
giving him extra importance the right way to counter his propoganda would
have been to write a book. We just can`t tolerate opposition. When I talk
of Isreal here people thinks `I am too american` and when I talk about
Arabs they call me a `Kafir` i dont get it? ....we are hypocrites so
we always blame on others. I was called a ``Hindus-Taura` in Islamabad!
and i ignored coz` such people should be ignored coz they just want
importance...!

....... i don`t know about the rest of them, but here is what khushal khan khattak said about his (and my) people about four hundred years ago ....

The dogs of the Mohmands are better than the Bangash,
Though the Mohmands themselves are a thousand times worse than the dogs.
The Warrakzais are the scavengers of the Afridis,
Though the Afridis, one and all, are but scavengers themselves.
This is the truth of the best of the dwellers in the land of Pathans,
Of those worse than these who would say that they were men?

...... look at afghanistan and the frontier today and then tell me he was wrong ..............sometimes it is okay to call a spade a spade (no pun intended) .........
