there is DEF no sense of unity in pakistan. and the biggest divide being west vs east. punjab and sindh are technically 'indian' states of origin but balochistan and pashtunistan (NWFP/tribal regions) are not. they are afghan. balochis hav been under represented to this day since pakistans creation, and dont care to be part of pakistan. the afghan lines created years ago pissed off a LOT of pashtuns that endedup on the wrong side of the border, and some in afghanistan have always wanted their land back. that part isnt touched upon by the media much for i duno wat reason, but pakistan covers it up well i guess.

shit is hitting the fan. the divide between the races in the country is insane.
Yup. Am not too sure what will happen. This whole 'ummah brotherhood' card is getting old too. If there was an 'ummah brotherhood' there would be no marginalization of minorities in countries like Pakistan.
Its good to see you guys actively criticizing the shortcomings of Pakistan and not playing the nationalist card. I think we as Americans and expatriate Indians can learn a lot from your logic. +1, homie.

People have to get out of the whole groupthink state of mind. Aside from that my allegiance lies with this country more than any other country. And I will criticize my country only if I am willing to do something instrumental to fix the issue. I mean we all know , as DMX said, talk is cheap motha fuckaaaaaaaa
