“The one I belong to”

From last few years, I, as a Pakistani have been facing a thousand problems. But these problems are with other people too. But the problem which has disturbed me in every way is that now when someone meet me they start guessing and mostly people asked directly (which I believe isn’t a good way) my sect and my cast etc which has now irritated me a lot. Not only this now people are only intrested in my cast, the language I speak and the school of thought I belong to. The amazing thing is all these cast, language, creed sects and other differences was present before us also but there was not such issues which we are facing now a days. The reason which I felt behind it is that the people who wanted to divide us are preaching us in a very wrong way. They are drawing a negative sketch of everything before us. Now we have made these differences the reason of division for us although this is just because we our not considering the fact that no one can be similar. Every individual is beautiful with his uniqueness. Allah pak has made us with these differences. Allah pak has created every individual with different attributes, with different identity, different colour, different structure, different mentality. Even no human has the same finger prints at all. All these differences are just to give an individual identity to every person. Differences are to make the world beautiful. A place where all the beauties of Allah pak exsist. “Pakistan”- the land of Allah’s true blessing. Allah pak has blessed Pakistan with all the beauties. We have different cultures, customs, trends, languages, food and many other varieties. Allah pak has blessed Pakistan with every colour of His beauty in the form of these and in the form of our geograohical position too. But due to all these conflicts we have neglected our one and only identity which is the greatest blessing for us- Pakistani. Pakistan has bound us in one and only identity and makes us one. After Pakistan all the other identities have been dominated by one and only identity “Pakistani”. Above all the differences we are just Pakistani. May be we can’t understand other languages but Urdu is the language which can be somehow understand by every person in Pakistan. I think we are mature enough to understand that every individual has right to choose their own path and to spent their life by their own. No one has the right to intrupt. Not even Islam has allowed anyone to do so. There is no discrimination on the basis of cast, colour, creed or language. So why we have the issue with others. The best way to stop all this is that we should respect and accept the differences of every individual. We should be thankful to the Almighty that He has blessed us with this beautiful land and all these different colors. Yes, we have different cultures, languages, traditions and all. But above all an identity “Pakistani”. I belong only to one- Pakistan.
