Salim Chauhan - a primer.

Tahmed:

khudai de mal sha awo pa khair ossay wrora (tr. may God be
with you and may you live in peace o brother)

Salim Chauhan claims to be 24 years of age, educated in America, living in Turkey, married to a Shia Turkish woman (living in Turkey this could only be an Alavi), but on the basis of the number of his posts on the Chowk (about 100 per day), one can safely assume he resides on Chowk. On top of it, between all those posts he posts on Chowk every day, he has found time to travel to those 220 countries (read his intro page).

I believe that he is an Indian posing as Pakistani. Sorry, wrong English. I believe he is an Indian, but posts a few anti-Indian messages (of no sincere depth in them) here and there that befools us into thinking he is of Pakistani origin.

For a 24 year old, Salim Chauhan will remain a mystery.

For one, he is too inflexible for his age group. I have tested him by getting into a debate with him on couple of occasions. He is so adamant about his viewpoint that if you press him a little more, he shows the tendency of going off track and turn guttery on you. Otoh, a characteristic 24 year old shows tendency to learn from others.

2nd, for a traveler he has a very guttery language and does not avoid throwing it to the females. Also, having spent almost all his life abroad (USA) and in traveling, he shows too much affinity with "desi" community and the corresponding knowledge base. This is quite unnatural.

3rd, for a Pakistani appreciating arjun_m is a total give away. You may recall that once upon a time, GODOT used to write anti-Pakistani articles on Chowk. If you recall that I had thrashed him in early 2004 on writing such an article. I regret doing that though. Now look at Godot. After spending all that time on Chowk, he thrashes all the fundoo Indiots and has not posted a single anti-Pakistani post. I will give you my personal example. I had come on this website (in 2003) to see if I could post something against Punjabis hahaha. However, after going through the posts of Indiots at that time (which ranged from anti-Pakistan to anti-Islam to anti-Prophet, etc.) I quickly got diverted hahaha. What I am trying to say is that on this board, it is very difficult to be Pakistani and be posting anti-Pakistan messages for too long.

Btw, we should try to bring in BLA terrorists on this site. I bet they will leave patriotic Pakistanis.

Furthermore, his calling Punjabis as Panjus is surprising. Mohajirs call Punjabis as Punjaibies (meaning with 5 religious faults), Paindoos, Paindoo paas, Dhaggas, 60%, Chopayas, etc. Btw, Mohajirs call Pakhtuns ’Akhrots’ meaning walnut :-)

As to his point that he is out there pointing mistakes of Pakistan to Pakistanis then he is going for the wrong audience. I don’t think there is a single Pakistani on Chowk who is capable of changing anything that Salim wants to change. So in a sense, his buddy arjun_m and he are of the same class - humiliate those who are of Pakistani origin. The reverence Salim has for Arjun clearly shows his class, or lack thereof.

Finally, as to his boasting that if he does not get well along with some females he also gets along with others like Zeena very well, I will take this matter up with the latter at a later time. Since I respect Zeena a lot, I hope she would not mind educating a nomadic pushtoon like me on some good points of Salim.

Allah pa aman.
