The British hate the Pakistanis for two reasons:
- The first Pakistani immigrants to Britain from 1958-1992 were from illiterate, rural, or urban, student background. They were light years apart from the British culture and mores. They lived in tenements and shared one room and rotating sleeping cots for several people. they worked at menial jobs from sweepers at heathrow to laborers in textile mills of Manchester and Leeds. Due to incipient racism in Britain, they were confin ed to de facto ghettos, or little “Mirpurs,”Gujar Khans, “mahjahs,” and Kashmiris of Mochi Darwaza, Bhatti Gate, shahi Mohalla, Mozang, Bahadurabad, Teen hatti, Laloo Khet, Lyari, Mardan, Peshawar, Campbellpur, Kohat, Hyderabad, Machar Kalony, Gowalmandis, Sheikhupuras, and Dhan-mandis. Here, they re-created their “parchoon-wallahs,””hakim-jees,””halwais,””neem homeopaths,” Deher Eient ki Majad with Jahil-i-Mutalaq “Imams,” who knew Islam as much as they knew Einsteins Theory of Relativity or Higgs Boson, and “dhabas.” This was a culture shock to the British, were used to their rolling meadows, country lanes, back-yard gardens, hedgerows, rose gardens, church suppers, choirs, country cricket, private clubs, village pubs, country squires, village parsons. There cuisines to toad-in-the hole, Yorkshire pudding, and Steak and Kidney pie, was replaced with qorma, bengali fish, tikka kebab, biryani, chicken masala, ad infinitum. Although, all these changes were not solely acts of Pakistanis, but more so of Indians, Bengalis, and West Indians of East Indian backgrounds, Indians kicked-out of Kenya. Guyanese, Goans, Sri Lankans and Uganda by likes of Idi Amin, and even Hindus from Malayasia, Singapore and other S.E.Asian.
- The second reason, believe it or not is well hidden. It is based on hatred of Islam and Muslims (to British, the Saracens) since the time of crusades. During those times, the monarchs of England and sent Knight Templars to free the Jerusalem from the “infidels,” a name given to Muslims.The crusades saw the emergence of religious knights including the Knights Templar, the Teutonic knights and the Hospitallers. The members of the orders of Religious knights were both monks and knights; that is, to the monastic vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience they added a fourth vow, which bound them to protect pilgrims and fight the infidels (1).
These two factors are the core reasons for British racism against Pakistan and Pakistanis. A lesser known reason was based on the pride of Muslims. Muslims bow to no monarch except to the Ultimate Monarch, The Almighty Allah. This pride was displayed by Quaid-i-Azam , Muhammad Ali Jinnah, who unlike Gandhi, did not “wash,” the testicles of British Viceroy. The wily Gandhi, was obseqious to the British Viceroy. His lieutenant, Nehru seduced the wife of Mountbatten, bedded her several times, and during sexual interludes, brain-washed, the sex-starved woman to influence her husband to tilt towards Gandhis demand for a larger share of land. So, the tandem team of Gandhi and Nehru worked the simplistic but arrogant British Mountbatten to their advantage.
The hordes of Pakistanis who immigrated to the United Kingdom during the British “open-door,” policy have now created a problems for themselves. Their progeny of second to fourth and fifth generation have been put in a tough and inextricable situation. These brilliant citizens of Britain are stranded on a bridge to nowhere. They consider themselves British, but, their parents still live in a shell, which lies in one of the provinces of Pakistan or Azad Kashmir. this creates a feeling of ambivalence, which either leads to total rebellion or a reversion to their parents faith and culture. Sometimes, the lack of understanding of their parents faith, Islam. leads to horrendous consequences. Inspite of the propaganda against Pakistan, the people of Pakistan are moderate to the core. In a binomial curve one can easily predict, the median lies towards, a true interpretation of Islam, the Deen (Islam is not a religion) of Peace, Love, and Harmony, among all mankind, people, places, and things. In short, all Allah’s Creation.
