Are Mohajirs Indians or Pakistanis? Are they are Indians living in Pakistan
or Pakistanis with an Indian heritage. Are they still loyal to India?
Yes, they do have fond memories of India of their birthplace or their ancestral
birthplace.
These Indians have been rejected the day they migrated from India.
Indian Muslims or Mohajirs had come from the place of a different
mode of production, a different socio-economic set up and had a peculiar diction,
gestures, behavioural patterns and perceptions. These made Indian Muslims or Mohajirs
different from the rest of the people already living in Pakistan. Their living style
was urban and their economic background was a thriving middle class which has
historically been a threat to the forces of status quo."
When Mohajirs or Indian Muslims arrived from India, the power barons became insecure because of the
former's socio-economic and cultural superiority. The Indian Muslims also fell prey to a
conscious or unconscious racial chauvinism in the ruling elite of the Punjab and not in its
poor people.
These Indian Muslims have no administrative infrastructure in the wake of feudal, tribal
and rural influences on Pakistan's socio-political system. Many of these Mohajirs are rejecting the idea of Pakistan and are asking for "Jinnahpur" and have taken to violence against the state. The country's elite has suppressed this middle class
and the origin of Pakistans middle class are Indian Muslims.
