After the creation of Pakistan, everyone who lived in Pakistan was proud to call himself a Pakistani. But slowly this thing has changed. We are no more Pakistanis; we are now divided into provinces and have started calling ourselves Punjabi, Sindhi, Balochi etc.
The condition has worsened even further. Living in the same province we have divided ourselves into castes, Mahajir, Pathans, Seraiki etc. If something bad happens in Karachi, the other provinces say “Oh thank God, we are safe.” No one is ready to take steps to help others and due to this selfishness, the situation has deteriorated even more.
So it is the prime duty of the media and the politicians to teach the masses to call themselves a Pakistani instead of labelling themselves either with language or caste/origin. Secondly, the government must emphasise on education so that students can easily obliterate the differences between them.
