Pakistanis with parents born in India or vice versa

[sjahmed23]

Both parents were born in Pakistan but grandparents were born in India. There is a story in my family of how my maternal grandfather survived attacks in the train by picking up hindu literature and reading it in front of the mob.

I also have some family who migrated from Bangladesh after 1971 and they tell horror stories about what the Mukhti Bani was doing to non bangalis. These stories send chills down your spine.

My dad's maternal grandfather was a commissioner in Delhi for years prior to partition. As a result of his prominent status, he inadvertently got involved with the leaders of Pakistan movement and unfortunately, made the mistake of migrating to Pakistan. Had he stayed in India, I wouldn't have been born, but it is okay because staying in India would have been better for his future generations.

Pakistan is probably the last country in the world that I would have opted to be born in. India is not my first choice by any means, but it is still a far, far better option than Pakistan. It is a proper country with good global image and has a bright future. Pakistan is just a fancier Afghanistan. Nevertheless, you have to make do with what you have. It is a pity that of all the countries in the world, I had to be born in Pakistan, but it is what it is.

If you have some bad experience in your life in Pakistan, don't blame the whole country. My Grandparents also moved from India (Punjab) and so happy they did.

Even if Momoon had been born to the USA, he would still be cursing about his fate. Nothing comes on a plate to you- you struggle for it. If you do not bicker about things in Pakistan, do something with your life, then the same Pakistan will look good. The same Pakistan allows you to travel outside Pakistan on Pakistani passport which most American/Western wannabes dish about it. Be thankful that you have a Pakistani passport that allows you to have visas to USA and UK.

Considering the riots and discrimination I notice in India - Thanks God I happened to be born in Pakistan. Atleast I am not living as a minority.

Pakistanis can be crappy people however we can make this country a better place to live in if we act like as a united nation and be sincere to our country.

Who is going to respect a country where its citizens want everything on a plate without working for it?
