The Pakistan Experience

Sindh suffered because of their resistance to the British colonial regime. People loyal to the British were imposed on Sindh, this is why I say the Wadera nizam is not Sindhi culture it is colonial culture inherited and fostered by the Pakistani state.

Sindh ke waderay nahee hayn, Pakistan Kay waderay hain jo Sindh par imposed hain

The Pakistan Experience

On the quota system debate after I’ve shown with historical data how the 1970s quota system was a redressal since there was little to no Sindhi representation and Muhajirs were over represented in the bureaucracy and the Government by many folds, the argument people are making is that was not unfair since Sindhis were jahil and Muhajirs were educated.

This is the problem with people getting surprised when I call their racist beliefs racist, they have been brainwashed so much that they do not even know that they’re being racist.

This history that has been told is a complete lie.

The Muslim League leadership was from UP/CP so they gave government loans, government jobs, and government subsidies to their friends, combine that with the fact that certain leaders were openly racist, and the fact that Urdu became the national language so that became a criteria to get a high paying private job or a government job meant the locals were shut out of opportunities.

Now, the fact is that Muslims, in general, all over India had low literacy. How the State of Pakistan shut out locals by making Urdu a requirement many Muslims were shut out when English literacy became a criteria in the British raj.

To take that fact and give it an ethnic lens is nothing but intellectual dishonesty.

A simple chatgpt search will show you that Sindh had higher literacy than UP with princely states like Khairpur having extremely high literacy rates.

Because Pakistan Studied only focuses on Aligarh University people assume that was the only educational institute for Muslims.

Whereas Jinnah himself studied at a Sindhi school in Sindh founded by a Sindhi.

The idea that “Sindhis were jahil” is nothing but pure unadulterated hatred and racism.

Sindh suffered due to their resistance to colonialism. The British raj shut down Sindhi educational institutes all over Sindh. Thatta alone had 6000 educational institutes before the British raj, Shikarpur was a Center for education, and Sindh had an indigenous education system.

Even if we look at the data from 1940, specifically for Muslims, the literacy rate was higher in Sindh than UP.

I am appalled how people in Karachi can go to universities, see that they were established a hundred years ago then argue that Sindhis were jahil this is why they needed people to come in and rule over them.

How was Sindh being governed pre partition then?

DJ Science college was founded in 1887, CS Degree college Shikarpur in 1927, NJV in 1885, Sindh Madrasstul Islam in 1885, NED in 1921, Sindh Muslim Government college in 1943, Dow in 1945, Sindh Muslim Law college in June 1947, and University of Sindh was also created before partition.

UP also had educational institutes for Muslims. Often these posts are misunderstood to imply that if I say Sindhis were educated I am saying Muhajirs were uneducated whereas I’ve never said that.

These posts are only to combat the propaganda that Sindhis were uneducated. It is history and facts being shown to racists who cannot think beyond their own identity.

The truth is a select elite benefited from the elite capture in Pakistan after 1947, the fact that the ethnicity of those elites was the same as yours does not mean you have to defend them, also the fact that I point that out does not imply all Muhajirs are to blame.

The poor Sindhi and Muhajir labour being exploited in 1947 is not being exploited based on their ethnicity, it is always the elite that I have a problem with, not with any ethnicity.

And that is the same elite who has filled our textbooks and media narratives with these lies to justify their capture of state resources.

No, Pakistan did not prosper 1947 to 1971, a select elite prospered while the rest of the country burned, this is why the majority of the country decided to make a new country in 1971 and there were sustained protests against Ayub in the 1960:.

Please unlearn stage propaganda and read history.
