I’m open to holding a referendum in Afghanistan to see which provinces, if any, would want to join Pakistan. I’m fully aware that Pakistani establishment would oppose this idea. For the past 50+ years (after losing east Pakistan), they’ve repeatedly emphasized that Pakistan’s strength comes from the fact that they form the majority in both the military and the broader state structure. And this mindset is the same one you often see among certain upper‑class (Roman Elites) circles, a belief that they are inherently superior and entitled to look down on everyone else. This is the reason we lost East Pakistan.
I don’t think anyone from this forum ever had the opportunity to sit down and have a deep conversations with Bengali speaking Pakistani military personnel (now Bangladeshi). They felt (at least some of them) lack of trust, they were not promoted, and some cases (not all of them) treated as 2nd class.
This exactly how this elite class treating Karachi.
