Genesis of Pakistan stemmed from the growing political grievances and anguish between Muslim and Hindu communities in the sub-continent. Animosity among them has a long history and that has outflanked everything. Riots and killings, sufferings and pain had engulfed all. Millions were fall prey to this unstoppable misery from both sides and the demarcation of this region reflects the horrors which have never seen before. British introduced ferocious laws to subdue the subjects. Purpose was simple and that was to prolong its colonial hegemony and exploit the resources for their own good. After stiff resistance for independence, locals ceased power from British on their withdrawal and partition was the ultimate price for the sacrifices Muslim community gave to secure its glorious destiny.
Millions came to seek refuge in the newly born Muslim state and settled on the unfamiliar land and habitat. For them it’s a life time opportunity to fabricate better future for their offspring. Failure of democracy has widened the gulf between different ethnic groups settled on new land. Unstable conditions spearheaded the uncertain and complex dilemmas and dragged the nation on the brink of civil unrest. East Pakistan seceded from the rest of the country and the nation shocked and was trying to bear the irreparable.
That is the pretext in which Sindh conglomerated in a tinderbox where Urdu speaking community stood head-on to the sindhi population. Their rift was unfelt till musharaf tenure. And right after Benazir assassination and the take up of the power by her incompetent heirs had escalated the situation and resulted in target killings of innocent people from all circles every day.
Political motivation is the only reason behind this outstretching. Along with this provocative maneuvering, sinister ambition of MQM has further inflamed the situation.
No government tried to diffuse the intensity of the events. Instead of bringing truce they stirred to gain concessions from others for their political mileage. Today the situation is so worse that the financial hub of Pakistan is suffering injuries from its own dwellers. Economy is slopping down and stagnation is afflicted on every field which has resulted in unemployment and insecurity.
This abnormality could be resolved if government show sincerity. Law abiding society and impartial crack down on miscreants is the two prong strategy to calm down this outrageous rampage.
