Re: # 52 Big G all contract for ship, port handling is awarded to govt of Singapore.
Chinese brothers are welcome but not sisters as they start massaging etc which is against ethos of people. Chinese are good people . neat, clean, tidy and efficient and deciplined and awam can learn lot from them. Chineser are very hard and good money sense people. One of my student who had been to usa said they are smart people than desis. He said if some body feels they got good cheap car from asians they will be for surprise. They care for money and save money. Honestly they are superior race than indo Pakistani races.Also they are very westernised that helps lot. They always wear western dress and behaviour like western advanced man.

keep an eye of chinese people that would bring a lot of aid money and projects with them. the chinese send money along with their own people to handle projects. just look at any where in the world where chinese money have made inroads in the local economy.

karachi and pakistan would have to learn how to cope with chinese amongst them who come with lot of aid from their government. maybe the big G will be full of chinese worker working on projects that are paid for by chinese money, technology and labor.

as usual paki idiots will not see this chinese influx, and would start claiming as some sort of their tactical political win over the west.

New Island deveoplemts of lands and new high rise will transform all of Sindh and Karachi ? UAE investors want to put a new city blocks like Dubai, newyork etc, estimate are near 100 billion dollars. Over long term real estate investments in Karchi shore development will dwarf all other investemnts. ( 50 story buildings, independent power plants and separate water purification unit, parks, I saw some pictures and every body will feel proud that island city will compete with newyorkor Dubai, singapore, there will lot of money bringing business, specially services needed for residents living in this new city_.

Ok. so what are you saying? are you saying that the bhutta geers are no longer going around around and asking for bhuttas? will one not find some "islamobats" who claim to have superiority complex over other innocent law abiding Pakistanis? will ishrat-ul-abid give back his falsely gotten aid from the British government? all these facts show the character of MQM leadership. those who call themselves mqm-wallas have bogus leadership skills. except for showing hate and loud mouthedness they have nothing to offer. insulting people who challenge their public behavior is no leadership skills. relating your political behavior with other people's evils and comparing your political behavior with their's does not show anything. monkeying around on a podium does not become an exceptional orator.

are you claiming that today's mqm is behaving differently than the behavior of mqm in the 1980's? or are you justifying mqm's past behavior.

if pakistanis do not change their hatred towards each other and towards the world, then pakistan will become another somalia, and karachi will become another gaza. no other sensible country will allow these incendiary people to be amongst them.

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.

{"barrister i wouldnt bother responding to that, if he is serious then he is insane. Let it go."}

When left with no arguments or logic, why do certain inferiority complex-laden sophomores resort to questioning the sanity of their adversaries? I think that it's insane to consider everyone to whom you lose your arguments as insane.

While this topic may be interesting, I refuse to join the unpatriotic so-called "Pakistanis" in degrading the concept, people, unity, society, and state of Pakistan. Little do these myopic midgets realize that they are providing free entertainment to our stingy neighbors seated in the cheap seats - but then maybe that's exactly the audience they mean to please. Lanat he in ghaddaaroN par.

"No, I have not said any of those things. Two wrongs do not make it a right. "

The point is that many political parties should not have a political mandate under these conditions.

"Maybe two wrongs make it a right in Korangi, where innocent mohajirs are being tortured by MQM thugs, but in the civilized world pakis have to learn to respect other's opinions, and call a wrong where they see one."

How about the muhajir women who were raped for days by the denizens of sohrab goth before having their bodies left on roads? Or ethnic cleansing of North Karachi slums going on in the early 80's?

"agreed, and now I would expect a mohajir to take credit immediately."

Which one of your mancrushes are you referring to as Muhajir Bhutto, Zina, Nawaj? Or are you holding mushy and shortcut responsible for the past 37 years. Why don't you ask the muhajir who lives under your bed steals your socks and wanks all over your bedsheets to take credit.

"granted, but not the urdu pseaking thugs. if you want to hide under memon's and bhora's, none of them called themselves as mohajirs. they used to shun the urdu pseakers, because of their despicable mannerism."

This is irrelevant and was back in a time where there was no real "muhajir" or "Hindustani Karachiite" identity. Nowadays, most memons support MQM (a minority are jamaati, while alarmingly high percentages are islamobots), Ever heard of Farooq Sattar It all seems like you have absolutely no accquaintance with memon mannerisms not to mention, pakhtun, punjabi, sindhi, Ivorian, or Quichua mannerisms. Aasif apologizes to you on behalf of urdu speakers with bad mannerisms.

"mostly memons grabbed all those hindu buildings and never paid a dime to anybody. And you call these "chors" as great industrialists."

Karachi has the highest number of succesful integrated Hindu's than any other City in the country. There is also a vibrant hindu middle class, the only one in the country. Whats your opinion on the relative affluence of West Punjab vis a vis the rest of Pakistan as well as its huge Hindu community?

Re: # 42 Posted by barristerakc on October 17, 2008 1:28:39 pm

array baiwakoof, pakistan is begging for $100 Billion because of a threat of imploding. of course the world community is scared of paki fanatics to get out of control. And they might eventually cough up some dough to keep these crazies from Karachi or Lahore.

likewise, mqm has big non-urdu speaking community donors because they have to, not because they want too. that is what this gunda has been successful to achieve.

i have yet to meet a single [Aga Khani, Memons, Bohras, etc.] person in the west who speaks good about these thugs.

samaj mein aa rahee hai yeh baatain, kay nahin? itna yaad rakhna aap logoun ko koi bachaney walla nahin hein, jitnee bhi aap arboun kay goad mein nachain.

[contribute to the good cause of MQM.] Good cause for whom. MQM's bhutta is definitely a good cause for the thugs.

yeh dunya ko oulou bananein kaa zamana khutum ho chuka hein.

From AKD (who's my client) to all the Memons, Bohras (Tapals for example) to Dadabouys to all of the Agha Khanis openly support MQM and contribute to the good cause of MQM.

[Bubba are you trying to tell me there is no "gunda gardy" involved during election time in most of rural Pakistan and polls are completely free and fair? If you believe that you are either retarded or dishonest.]

No, I have not said any of those things. Two wrongs do not make it a right.

Maybe two wrongs make it a right in Korangi, where innocent mohajirs are being tortured by MQM thugs, but in the civilized world pakis have to learn to respect other's opinions, and call a wrong where they see one.

[If you look at Pakistan's position up till 1971, it was in a much better position than it is now.]

agreed, and now I would expect a mohajir to take credit immediately.

[The Pakistani state survived initially because of the Mohajir industrialists who immigrated to Pakistan, ]

granted, but not the urdu pseaking thugs. if you want to hide under memon's and bhora's, none of them called themselves as mohajirs. they used to shun the urdu pseakers, because of their despicable mannerism.

how many memons or bhoras, lived or do live on Burns Road?

mostly memons grabbed all those hindu buildings and never paid a dime to anybody. And you call these "chors" as great industrialists.
