The Case for Pakistan as a Civilizational State

[ThunderCat]

Well Iran was never colonized. They kept their culture and system for a longer time.
And that explains why even to this day they don't get along with western powers and facing sanctions and war. They are very proud people who cant be subdued. Not like pakistan where US and other western powers has a huge influence in decision making.

They have a much smaller & sustainable population along with huge energy resources.

That is not what Pakistan is. It's population is still growing and it's resources depleting.

You are comparing a middle income country to a poor country.

Yes actually. They also ate lots of beef. Might have gotten lynched by certain zealot communities if they were still around today.

Read my post again. Gazi Mustafa Kemal introduced a modified Latin alphabet. I proposed a modified Scythian alphabet. The Scythian languages were Iranic, so they were near cousins to our modern languages.

But why?

Barring a latinisation effort, for reasons similar to Ataturk's in house reforms, why would Pakistanis just chop and change script willy nilly? It makes little sense to me. Either retain persio-arabised script or switch to latinised.

Lol that looks way more difficult than Urdu alphabet. The goal is to make learning of Urdu easier but that's a alphabet unknown to all Pakistanis. I bet no one will even bother to learn that alphabet. Even looking at that alphabet made my head spin lol.

It's an old elitist ploy to keep communication and knowledge within a particular community.

When you parade these civilizations as if they were your own, you glorify them. But once reminded they were situated in Pakistan, they become "just a bunch of settlements."

Do the people living in those settlements have a name for those settlements ?
