Compliment to So Called Nationalists

(Syed Sajjad Hussain, Gujrat)

During our primary school, we have red a story,” There were two cats. One day they got a piece of cake but caught in difference over the distribution. They went to a clever monkey and requested him for equal & fair distribution of cake piece. Cleaver monkey tour apart the cake unequally and put the pieces in the scale. In the name of equality he has eaten both the pieces and cats remained watching.”

Likewise some of our nationalist friends want to distribute the cake piece (Pakistan) into tiny independent states of Sindhudesh, Baluchistan & Greater Pushtonistan. We will look into the basis of their demands (but we apologize for our limited knowledge & not certain about the “total rationality of arguments”, also we will warmly welcome any positive and constructive criticism) Sindhodesh: The key points rest in the roots of this demand is ethnicity & “self determination” of their culture, traditions and resources.

Their should be no doubt that “the gold glittered on the land of Sindh” is a sole property of the sindhi community, we should offer them the right to use their resources as their own accords. Meanwhile they should realize that many other ethnic groups like Urdu Speaking, Pushtune, Bloch and Panjabi played a vital role in their freedom, business, education, industry and development. Therefore they should be offered a right to survive. But, with all due respect you do not have any inherited relation with “Sindhi Topy and Ajrak” since both of the things are introduced by the Sufism. The vision and mission of these great Sufis was the love, care, equality, unity and peace for all. I would like to request the Urdu speaking also that when you were homeless and seeking help, they offered you shelter, they provide you with opportunity to re-establish your business and space to survive. Do not corner them, ok, you are smart but not enough to become a host from the settlers and turn them in minority.

Turning to the nationalist, cunning monkey (India, UN or U.S.A.) will eat the whole cack in the name of equal distribution of resources and you will remain waiting the cack piece. A cat can not fight with a monkey, therefore do not invite a monkey to mediate, do your own with flexibility, fairness and scarification.

Baluchistan: The key points of their demands based on resource management, military posts, Development and fear of dilution. They also demand an ethnic base reframing of the boundaries consists of the most of South Eastern Iran, East Northern Afghan territory and Pakistani Baluchistan including some part of west northern Sindh.

I do agree with their demand for resource management, development and fear of dilution. We should actively do our part to realize them that this is your right and you should implement but the reframing of the borders is a “ mission impossible” Army should have be given a right to defend our borders else where in Pakistan including our north west border. But with all due respect and warm acceptance of difference of opinion, rest of the Pakistan is not responsible for your miseries. Your own tribe leaders and Sardars are not willing to surrender their powers to a common man; they do not like an educated young person, since he could challenge their supremacy.

My dear separatist, are you fighting with Iranians army, With Afghan forces as well? Sindhi and Pushtons will offer you to come and occupy their land. Some body misled you on the name of the Baloch Land. With out peace, civilized population, skill and joint efforts what will be the future of your dreamed island? Dreams never ended up but we should be practical. The people promoting you for destruction of your own infrastructure like railway track, Gas pipelines, Electric Poles, they actually not helping you but melting you deep in the ground. This is your property, your inmates used these facilities not any body from Punjab, Sindh or Pukhtonkhawah.

Pushtonistan: Like wise they demand the ethnic base reframing of the boundaries consists of the most Sothern part of Afghanistan, NWFP, tribal belt, mianwali, attock from Punjab, Sibi & northern Baluchistan intensively pushtun populated area.

Dear promoters of this idea, you people were communicated Islam to the rest of the subcontinent. You fought the Holy war against the Hindus, Sikh and British rule in the modern history. You are the warriors of Islam and our dearest Pakistan. In the history of Pakistan around 2300 graduates are doing their PhD. You are doing business from Karachi to Khabir, enjoining the high ranking official posts all over the Pakistan. You produce Field Marshal Ayube Khan, Karnel Khan, Lalik Jahn Shaheed. You were who defeated the once Super Power & defend the western border of Pakistan. You are, who facing the ever worst insurgency and destruction since last 8 years but eventually push the devils back to hell. People salute and remember your festivity & hospitality. You are the Crown of Pakistan.

We do agree with you that your language is oldest in all Pakistani’s languages. But it is only one and minor ingredient in the complex foundation of a Nation. You should have a right to promote your language as you already involved with that but do not go far away since you are our essential need & we are back bone for our pashton brothers.
Please be consider,

1. Only a small quantity of coal, Natural Gas, petroleum is not enough to run a state.
2. Punjab is the major producer of food, minerals, well educated, industrial base, comparatively well established & well developed but no body from Punjab ask for separation base on the language or resources.
3. The basic rule of life is “ Give & Take” and “ Live & let others be lived”
4. Equality, co - existence, Fairness, self respect are the four pillars for union.
5. We should be flexible, modifiable, devotional up to certain limits.
6. Strong enthusiasm and admiration for others Muslims especially Pakistanis.
7. Allah the great merciful says” All the Muslims are brothers”, & “the murderer of a single person (except the killer of some one or rioter) is same the murder of whole human beings. Islam bonded us in a single nation “Muslims” but if still we are insisting on the pre- Islam traditions and illiteracy, we should re- consider the fundamentals of Islam.
8. 27 countries from different ethnicity, culture, history, language and demographic factors unite together and slapping their disturbing history.
9. We are 47 countries with above 50% Muslim population and history is slapping in our mouth, due to our mutual but minor differences.
10. External enemy provoke our so called differences and trying his ultimate efforts to further decompose us in very tiny and paralysed states to eat up our resources.
11. How big will be the dream state of Baluchistan with area 347,190 km² & population of 11,934,339 with density of 24 persons/ km2 ( with+/- 5%)
12. How big will be the dream state of Pushtunkhowah with area 74,521 km²& population of 20,215,000 (Estimate) with density of 260 persons/ km2 (with+/- 5%)
13. How big will be the Sindudesh with area 140,914 km²& population of 35,470,648 (Estimate) with density of 270 persons/ km2 (with+/- 5%)
14. The only secret of survival is “ Unity”

I love to quote a paragraph from Abn – I – Insha (Apology for modification) that a cat (he use the word donkey) and mouse (He used the word dog) was going along the road, they found a letter, cat opened “it was written that the finder may get the free of cast, the things listed here after” mouse asked is there cheese and bread (he used the words meat and bones) are in the list? Cat replied “No” mouse asked him to though up the letter since there is nothing to get”
Our politician must considered the others walking along side, if we will not mind our attitude, these lecture become unproductive.

(English is not my native language therefore please overlooks my mistakes but I will appreciate your guidance & positive criticism)
