History and Origins of MQM Part II This great story of transformation of Karachi from small city to one of greatest metropolis in world. At present rate of growth of population and immigration from Rural to urban areas will be accelerated as War on terror will force tribals to flee amd magnet is Karachi.Even with poor conditions Karachi is goilden city compared to Tribal areas and magnet for millions of people from north west and bringing ethos of tribal areas. My calculations based on similar cities ( Cairo, Lagos, Manila) will reach 30 million around 2030. The percentage of population to national population will remain same ( about 10 %) , By that time population will be over 300 million at lower end and at upper end 350 million. Then Karachi will stop growing due to physical limitations on infrastructure. It is tragedy on regular Basis Dhbheji Pumping fails and city is in trouble. It comes to mind a country which is first muslim nuclear state can not make pumping plant work on regular.
Circular Railway will never happen as all areas where it ran at inciption are occupied by people and politically impossible to move.
MQM may slowly loose grip due to demography as tribal people are expanding fast as they have on an average 8 to 10 children , while hindustani muslims being urban people have definitely less children. In democracy it is number game. They are in transporatation, drungs ,smuggling etc business and they will have edge due to higher profits and less capital investments. There are enclaves of tribal people but soon the expanding populaTION OF ENCLAVES will transform in soild areas where MQM will be like foreign political party. Sindhis will be more loosers as they have no neumerical strength. Basic story is Hindusrtani muslims replacing Sindhis and sindhis retreating to interior and new tribal immigrants will be shaping future of city. Let us hope both new sindhis ( MQM and Tribals) can find a equilibrium over long term.
The equilibrium attained between present urban sindhis and natives was cruel in social, economical displacements of sindhis toback lands. New immigrants are always dynamic, hungry and in expansion mood while natives are lost everywhere. So red Indians, sindhi, palestanians have to suffer, this type of movements always happens.
It will be interesting to speculate how MQM will react Tribal power. MQM are new people so they will have different character than Sindhis,MQM has only urban areas they can not retreat.
Quetta has gone peaceful transformation without any violence and Pathans are like Hindustani muslims and balochi have no power. Balochi people also in retreat but like sindhis and small numbers make them less powerful so thay resort to violence of revolutionary type , like blowing of rails , gas lines ( which carries away the gas to far cities and they only get shaft). It will be interesting to see what happens in big "G". Who will be dominent group as the situation is in flux.
The migration of people changes history.
There is national advantage as MQM dominence dooms Jiye sindh dreams , same way Pathan dominece dooms balochistan national movements. With loss of Karachi and Quetta to nationalists ethinic splitists have no chance, they are strategically doomed. Good thing for national integrity.

Rape Survivor Families Struggle Against Odds Re: # 37 Parth Sahib..... If as you say there are thousands of men in jail that is sad.
I think we are argueing about different things.
If I am correct you are in west, this problem must be in west( america , usa, uk , canada etc) and this does not exist here may be it may be in some city centers or few pockets in India or leading NGO type women who some times look towards men as steping stone to higher status. And this type ladies have status and they do job just for status,they need no money.

Now I have seen some pakistanis who married white women and they left with their children and women went of finding other man and he was left with all responsibilities.One poor Pakistani man seperated from his wife , the wife got new baby from white man and california court aggreed it is not his aby but he has to pay child support. But women even docile pakistani women go to usa go and get winds from there and change and deceive men. One pakistani couple from Karachi divorced husband and had his house given to her as she got custody of Child and he lives in rented place. From owner to room renter, his life is finished and he is economically finished. Now if nice well bred educated women behave like this those white women must be terrible as marriage is just contract and there is no sancity of marriage left. This strange place, mean this world. I tell men and women marriage is business so try to get best or better than you deserve but after it is family and love.
While new people consider initially love and over estimate color and looks and after marriage it becomes business and to solve business problems of marriage end p in courts. Wrong order. Men should be careful , marriae is dangerous game and should be avoided but is necessarily gamble. Old bujurgs have correctly said marrying for man is good,if wife is cow good looking and loving he becomes happy man but if she is like angry buffollow then he becomes Philosopher. Either way better than loney. Unfortunately men are romantic fools by nature and they watch stupid movies instead they should study nature of women. Now people , young people in west spends more time studying brands of car than woman he is going to marry. They take 6 months to buy car but marry wife in two days.
Nature of second/ weak sex is different.They are smart and watcing all time. It is sad but women are too calculating like baniyas. As they nurture children and have great responsibilities than men. I am consulted/ talked to many women including daughter and when they tell you why they marry even ugly toads you realiaze the thinking power of women.Women always think of children as it is destiny, they do not like but nature is stronger and leads them that way.
Men do not think about children its after effect or necessary evil. Any way women look for man who will protect her and her children, if she dies will take care of children,( there is kind of naked and ugly Darwanian attitude and under current) in old age love her and take care of her as they value growing old in love.
Now their nature is strange for sure. Most women do not care if they mis one target, once i told young woman I feel sorry she did not marry one man. She laughed and said do not worry if you miss one bus, ten more busses are coming. That is called maturity of women and foolish men go on crying and even write little lines , sensetive type ,poets etc.
In general if some body decives one should be careful. But stupidity of men about is love is beyond limits to say the list. So there is no foolproof method to avoid traps and get sad. One way is to study the future mother in law and women should study father in laws , they tell future how it is going to look.
I support for some organization like protective house for men, when they can get refuge and consuling even here. Here lso there are women who even beat physically and verbal torture is normal. This houses arerequired as men can not compalin to police about this matter as they will feel something wrong with man and neglect.
ParthaSahib has point also.
Good Night to all.

Terrorism Accused: Is Legal Aid Justified? Re: # 125 Our messenger is better than christians and Indus he flew to haven on WHITE horse from Jeruslem, all great or Lanfanbebazi ,No body knows.

Three Cups of Tea & Pennies for Peace Re: # 9 Good Straight forward reaction, this nonsense of pannies so elits will feel "good". Mr. Masadi I strongly second you in keeping way from "clutches" of so called experts and do gooders.

Terrorism Accused: Is Legal Aid Justified? Legal aid is necessary otherwise how trial can go in court?
What is most important is consuling theropy sessions on regular basis so they do not get depressed by trials and after rehabitation hopefully college education on scholarship so they can get again in normal society and society pays for producing terrorist as society oppressed him so he became terrorist. Hopefully also finding suitable beautiful fair colored bride or handsome , dark groom as needed and reasonable paying job so he settles and accepts man's law and his children become ordinary people without making problems.For exceptional people exception treatment required to solve problems, basically make him elite.

Rape Survivor Families Struggle Against Odds Re: # 33 You are right and need balancing in every matter. The urban women on Desi/Continents have some sociatal and recourses to protection.But in Rural areas its Jungle.

I do not now what is in west. There is good possibility of misuse. I hope our women will become more aggressive for rights and western women come down from aggression to assertiveness. I have heard and read about cruel treatment inflicted on men as there is propensity to help the weaker sex. This is all my speculations. I do not know. If you travell beyond karachi urban area things change for worst very dramatically. I have seen by eyes deplorable conditions of women and think I m fortunate to be in Karachi and not woman in Rural Sindh.One of great Urdu giant (Premchand) said famously about plight of women in subcontinent." Woman ,your story is breast full of milk and eyes full of sorrowful teas".Not much has changed in Rural Sindh.

‘Dustbin of history’ or ‘history of sorts’ Re: # 102 Do you know what happens if really if water treaty is not followed. Is there any Penalty for mischief. Do internaional bodies involved ? Are there any provisions for withdrawals from treay.
It just came to mind if YLH can throw some light or any lawyer. (it is quite depressing to see his giant intelluctal capacity wasted on attacking one dead Gandhi and pumping other , really whipping dead horse.) This you advice to Mr. T about Wind Mills and attacking them you can advice same to your Lahori friend.
It is crime to waste intelluct and Energy on mr. Gandhi.
Same way this persians are pesky businessmen. They have been Signing that scheme of IPI and then after few months Iranins wnts to revise price formula and conditions. What are leagal things going in IPI or just like Karachi "Circular Railway".

‘Dustbin of history’ or ‘history of sorts’ Re: # 102
Problem is ecnomical. Economic Vizard Arjun had advicd me here to jump from KSE to Indian stock market. I do not believe in stocks,( believe in sona and chandi) he believes so he must be wiped out.
So much for predictions of Arjun who was berating green T shirt suggestion.

‘Dustbin of history’ or ‘history of sorts’ Re: # 104
Quetta will have that honor. I am really mad about my English problems.Fortunately Karachi is far away from Talibs thanks to A.H. and MQM.

‘Dustbin of history’ or ‘history of sorts’ Re: # 94 Jokingly one can say Peshawar and Quetta can have competition which can be Capital of Islamic Republic of Taliban T. E Pakistan.
Quetta will will race even in handicap race.

‘Dustbin of history’ or ‘history of sorts’ Re: # 91 Over long term Sindhi/ mohajir condition is already there. Quetta has pathan majority and baloachi can get mad but can not do much, same as Sindhi's. Quetta is Karachi of Pathans and baloachi's are slowly like red Indians over yers

Re: # 28 Yes Partha has point, a woman can accuse and man can be in trouble. But normally it is not the way. Chances are more
Woman has been troubled. In statistics we teach theories based on equal outcomes. Here one side is more unevenly loaded. And it is unevenly weighted against women. The women are losers always ( mostly) in these contests irrespective of outcome. As we know law of god is against women at least 4 times in terms of witness. Even to accuse is ton of burden on woman , old , poor is even harder. Even family members will not like, they may acquiesce to help woman to prosecute very reluctantly. Now if woman is in tribal or bad lands even mighty Allah can not help.As duel laws exist here ( one is man made and other is god given) woman is at loss and god's laws are deadly against her. Most women wisely will like to forget for pragmatic reasons. Also proceeding in this matter human right wallahs and women groups can get justice but women chance are destroyed ( presently any single woman can be accused of immoral acts and is fair game , even kidnapped. The women need father when child and need husband and son/daughter when old is true as society is brute and women at any stage are fair game ) a young women getting married chaces go to zero , woman can be abandoned by family for families honor and we have sure double standards imbibed in men being adulterous of having many affairs as manly and women have less freedom than cows and many case less economic value. Many times women are treated as value exchangeable commodity to pay debts , get relief from crime. At least in Pakistan only deranged woman will accuse such things.


In west may be different as laws are made by man and not by God . The dynamics may be different. I can not say any thing, I do not know social dynamics but empirically in west Women are given custody of child indicates preference to woman as child raiser. This is advantage as not too far ago even there women were not allowed to vote. My feeling some women may be trouble makers but most must be suffering . I guess woman can punish man by not working as she will get alimony to raise child. Hope others can throw light.
At this time having duel systems of laws ( one law of land , superseding that law of gods/Allahs) is confusing and it is not clear which law is supreme .
Good morning.

Rape Survivor Families Struggle Against Odds Re: # 25 Mr. Jyp all lands have this dilemma and for people.
To follow the law of man or laws of god. Most countries have clear distinction. Like white western countries have law above laws of god. In countries like KSA gods laws are supreme, or in China communist gang at top words are law. Problem and Dilemma for Deshis like india, pak and BD. It is not clear as both mans and god's laws coexist and many times at odd with each other. We have to be patient and over next 50 to 60 years things will be sorted out. So women burned in india as beng widows and honor killings will go on. Now this americans and doners of money can force rulers to pick up the laws made by man. But it is not easy but some times fear of economic life line cut can lead to choosing laws made by man. That battle is slow an still outcome uncertain, winds can sweep man made laws and god's laws will control in future. Future is uncertain.

Rape Survivor Families Struggle Against Odds Re: # 14 Jayp... Your point is well taken. You are not wrong.
You know that even most powerful can not do that , Awam will skin you alive.You can advice sitting in India , and have wonderful ideas . I can tell you go in indian jungle and there is tiger who's tooth need to be pulled so infection will go away. You go to help that tiger he will kill you even thogh you are doing favor to him.

Now Ms. Sarwar is doing evolutionally revolution is out of question. There is no wide spread support to women as equals.

Now most most women and men will say I can not do such big thing so point in doing. Other will say what Ms. Sarwar is doing is not going to change much so I will not do that also. Result nothing is done. Do
whatever one can is important and she is doing rather than leaving in dispair. Such things will move only glacially. You can collect browny points as they say.
Similary you say similar thining about Ahemadia sect/ religion etc. Most people in life on street do not believe in this crap. But when it comes to end it is law of land which declares they are not. You tell average man who wants go to Dubai or usa etc passport what he can do.He can not do nothing. Stop scoring browny points. It is not easy to break or attacks laws of land which can get you killed easily. Even most popular BB, powerful general can agree in private they can not do , things are not easy. So stop pontiffication sitting in safety of India.
Good day.

Rape Survivor Families Struggle Against Odds Ms. Sarwar.... THanks for penning this report.
I want to convey my respect to you for doing this intesive work so our women will have life. You are doing the job , not easy job in society which is puritan and extremely oppressive towards women and violence is method used to clear the field.The most men of our cities are victim of sex fear and conservative and less content of women on any road leads sex obsession.This sex starvation leading to sex obsession is formula for victimization of women. You also teach by example being assertive of women rights in given situation. I know it is not easy for young women to travel by public transport in Karachi but they are forced to do to survive. I knew from childhood why women cry,they are helpless and suffer all time.Your work helps as word spreads. I normally do not contribute any money as have no surplus but cause is exceptional so I will contribute to organization which helps women.
Thanks , god bless you and help you in your work.

Fathers and Daughters I may suggest you to read a beautiful novel, a touching novel by D H lawrence ( kind of self biography ) titled Sons and lovers. The prose is flowing and the sexual dynamics of yong man and mature woman. THat work elevates him as well as his sex guilt commplex and humanity. It is moving novel and there is no hot stuff. A last classical english novelist crossing and abandoning Victorian hypocracy once for all.
Good day.
