Mohajirs Are People Too

Re: # 95
There you go again, Punjab Bank and that too by a Mohajir Mian, his family was a prominent merchant family in the Kashmir (Shopian District) valley. His father, Muhammad Sharif, migrated in 1947 to Pakistan proper during the partition. Yet another Mohajir.
No matter what anyone says, money talks, specially in this context. While the term "baniya" principally refers to chamri jaye damri na jaye class specially the hinuds"
as such I maintained a difference of opinion and since you appear to "concur" we agree to disagree, but on an overall basis I found your article worth reading.

Nice read, atifbhai:

"A people who gave the world raahat-e-jaan rooh afza cannot be all that bad."

Rooh afza was given to the world by Delhvis before some of them became mohajirs.

beats being a hindutva in the land of half breed...

shobig #84 "may be that had something to do with my innate affinity for the sea."

shobig payee, khuda nakhwasta tuadi goriaN vargi "affinity" tay naeeN keh jithay sun and sea vaikhia othayee kapRay laa laye?

izuber #80 - i concur with shobig payee. but instead of using the term "baniya", which obviously has negative connotation and reeks of heeng, lets use the term "money managers".

so yeah, its no surprise that ALL banks and ALL insurance companies in the early years of Pakistan were started by mohajirs. In fact, if I am not mistaken, it wasnt until the 1990s that a punjabi named Nawaz Sharif (incidentally a mohajir of punjabi/kashmiri origins himself) founded the Punjab Bank.

tahir #87 "That's what Elton John, Freddie Mercury, George Michael and Rock Hudson also said. "

but they said it to other men, and did not have the problem of responding to annonymous nicks on a web forum pretending to be female

www.pkpolitics.com is promoting ethinc hatred against new and old Sindhis. It shows a very sad picture of Pakistan and Mohajirs.

I recently read some shameful details at:

"Mohajirs are people too"?

As if though its debatable.

Wow!!!

This article explains why airports in India are Shi-ite!

All the Indian Sunnis have migrated to Pakistan!

More silly statements...

That's what Elton John, Freddie Mercury, George Michael and Rock Hudson also said.

Not even your ancestors were so, leave alone ours Ananth-007!

Re: # 82 AmaaN izuber miaN, I obviously implied 'successful hinju career businessmen' of money-lending fame with my use of that term. Aren't they the ones responsible for bringing strict professionalism into the very business, in particular, and into all business, in general? The banya mentality of mohajirs is a natural repercussion of their pre-partition communal association...or simply put, of their hinjun roots....and that implication is in no way meant to be condescending.
