Chodai pakistani in urdu

So I don't remember since when but my confidence has been very low. I guess it was either due to lockdowns and all the COVID mess than made my social confidence lower or the fact that I had no interaction with females since grade 6 all the way until college which made me socially awkward cuz there are girls everywhere now. I bet its the other reason as I was a whole different person before college. I have no girl of my age in my family (all cousins are boys lol), which is a cherry on top.
Anyways. I feel like I have a lot of social energy but just can't use it. I feel like I might end up doing something awkward as I was not into public that much either (all by myself), and this makes me more awkward. I talk to people and I doubt that they can sense the stressed body language I portray. I speak fluent english when I am all by myself and struggle even with Urdu in public (and sometimes when I am sitting with my family, yes the same people I had been living with all my life).
So how can I just uplift my confidence? Its hard pushing myself into public and feel like it is making no difference either. I just stand there, stare at a random point somewhere as if I am in deep thoughts, which I am in sometimes, but not always.
Plus what actually makes me sad is that people manage to talk over me and randomly draw me out of a circle if they are standing in a circle (not as they push me out, but one moment I am standing in the circle with them and the other moment I am out).
Plus I never had the confidence to look up and notice and wanted to ask a question as well. Do people randomly look at others in public? Not as the stereotype of the Pakistani stare men do, but like normally. I feel so shy to do so and thought how others took it as

I have reached my financial goals and have achieved the milestone of becoming a millionaire. I have made most of the money through my business selling home decor products and textiles on Amazon and eBay which were sourced from china in bulk. I have diversified my wealth into crypto, real estate and stocks.
I don't know what's the next step going forward, I have achieved financial success at a very young age when most of my friends are now graduating from universities and are looking for jobs in their fields. On the other hand I spent my teenage years working on my goals whilst everyone else wasted their precious years partying.
I don't have a lot of hobbies aside working but I promise I'm not a boring person. You may learn a thing or two from my experience.
I am originally Pakistani and can fluently speak Urdu and Punjabi.

Hi there! I am needing a shirt design for a family trip to Yosemite.
I ran a couple of renditions in AI that I would like the artist to use as inspiration. The design must also have some Urdu text using the script called Jameel Noori Nastaleeq Kasheeda. (The text will be provided)
The renditions from AI to use for inspiration are as follows: https://imgur.com/gallery/1bINqGi
This style of art is Pakistani/Desi Pop Art. The artist should attempt to use only 4 to 5 colors in order to keep printing costs down.
I am needing this by 1pm on Friday 05/17/24 USA Central Time.
Please do not message me without a $bid. I will pay either Ppal Goods and Services if prepayment is required, or F&F if payment is to be sent after.
Thank you!

Hey everyone! Firstly, I'm SO happy I ran into a group like this! I'm (26M) from the US, and so it's nearly impossible to find LGBTQ+ South Asians, let alone Pakistani people, in my area (for reference, I'm from a southern and VERY conservative state).
I've always been interested in understanding how the queer diaspora like myself can relate and even advocate on behalf of the people "back home." I put quotes around "back home" because most of us have rarely visited the country and may think we're experts on our culture just because we occasionally wear a shalwar kameez or sherwani for Eid/weddings and speak broken Urdu while being utterly oblivious about social issues and disparities.
I want to be more informed and feel as though I'm contributing to my culture, my people, and my motherland, especially around post-colonialism and queer issues. How can I get involved and connect with others who share similar interests and experiences?

Hello! I am of Pakistani origin but was born in Canada and unfortunately I can understand when people speak basic Urdu to me but cannot speak it. I am trying to learn how to speak, read and write Urdu as an adult and looking for the best way to learn. Does anyone have advice for how to do this or resources I can access online? Thank you!

Syria – After the fall of Germany, 9th January 1946 protests erupted in Syria calling for independence, reaching its peak 18th January. France answered by force, eventually killing over a thousand Syrians by January. Shukri al-Quwatli escaped French arrest and contacted Winston Churchill. As the Conference of Foreign Ministers was held in Paris, Syria became a point of discussion also, French military action was condemned by all and by diplomatic means France was forced to retreat from Syria and Lebanon and recognise their independence (15.2.1946). Britain used the crisis to strengthen its influence, however unlike OTL did to directly occupy Syria as events in Syria are at the same time as the Conference in Paris. The British promised the French they would withdraw as well. Syrian independence was officially declared on 14 June 1946.
In 1947 Syria held its first parliamentary election, and a year later Shukri al-Quwatli was re-elected president. Syria had a rocky relationship with neighbouring Hashemite monarchies. Nationalist Quwatli manoeuvred in more and more hostile relations between powers and its interests (US, UK, USSR). Syria opposed the partition of Palestine and co-founded “Arab Liberation Army''. Defeat in Palestine heavily damaged the popularity of Quwatli, he regained some of it by refusing singing of Armistice with Israel (unlike others) and voicing support to anti-American riots (Summer 1949 due to Taft’s recognition of Israel). 28 September 1949 Quwatli demoted army chief Husni al-Za'im and replaced him by Sami al-Hinnawi. Major is shift is that due to American non-intervention the US backed 1949 coup never occurs. Under international pressure an armistice was eventually signed between Syria and Israel in November 1949. No demilitarised zone in Golan Heights as OTL. Syria adopted a neutralist policy, seeking relations both with the British, USSR, India, USA and Yugoslavia, but was most seen as a pro-British state. Syria became close to Egypt after the Egyptian Revolution. In 1952 parliamentary elections brought victory for the oppositional People’s Party and the rise of Ba’ath and SSNP. April 1953 presidential election, as Syrian constitution limited president to two terms, Quwatli handpicked Sabri Al-Asali as his successor.
Egypt – 2-3 November 1945 anti-Jewish riots in Egypt, since it was still during the war, riots were violently put down by the British forces. Since 1946 large anti-British demonstrations and riots. During 1947 negotiations about British withdrawal were held, however collapsed after Winston Churchill’s opposition to withdraw troops as response massive violent anti-British riots erupted (June 1947), forcing Churchill to agree to withdrawal to Suez Canal but keeping there large force, Churchill attempted to sign treaty that would guarantee British presence in Suez, but Egyptians rejected it. By end of 1948, British presence was limited to the Suez area. May to 20 July 1949 (signing of armistice) war in Palestine. After the war anti-British sentiments grew. 3 January 1950 victory of conservative and nationalist Wafd party, Mostafa el-Nahas became the new prime minister. His government refused to push any important reforms and was also very corrupt, further strengthening resentment amongst Egyptian people. Unlike OTL CIA is not attempting to persuade Farouk into reforms (it was codenamed “Fat Fucker” LMAO) 17 November 1951 Nahas unilaterally abrogated the 1936 Anglo-Egyptian treaty, wave of nationalism, Britian refused to leave Suez, tensions escalated into Battle of Ismailia (25 February 1952) – a violent clash between Egyptian militias and British forces. 26 January 1952 news resulted in massive anti-British protests that set Cairo on fire and greatly damaged support of the king and government. Country fell into instability, the government was dismissed and several different ones followed, as in our reality.
The Free Officers Movement (formed already in the 1940s) successfully orchestrated the Egyptian Revolution (23 August 1952). Power was transferred to nine-member Revolution Command Council (RCC), king Farouk abdicated, went into exile and was replaced with regency. RCC launched large scale reforms: land, tax, reducing privileges of government officials. First post-revolutionary prime minister Aly Maher Pasha resigned due to disagreements with the military coming from his traditional political background. He was succeeded by Abd El-Razzak El-Sanhuri, legal scholar promoting transition to civilian rule (10 October). Political parties were purged, however due to Sanhuri’s influence not banned. During spring 1953, conflict between Sanhuri and Naguib escalated. Camps began to develop, one was represented by Naguib and his loyalists who aligned themselves with Muslim Brotherhood, and other headed by Nasser and Sanhuri, aligned with HADITU and Wafd.
Newly created Provisional National Assembly, approved a new secular constitution, Nasser was named president (18 July 1953) with support of Wafd and HADITU. In summer 1953 Muslim Brotherhood started large riots and demonstrations against the new constitution, they gained outside CIA support, as they were sceptical of Nasser’s alliance with HADITU. Power struggle between Naguib, who still had key positions in RCC continued.
Lebanon – 7 June 1946 withdrawal of French forces, independence declared already in 1943. Around 100,000 Palestinians came to Lebanon after the war. In 1951 prime minister Riad Al Solh survived assassination attempt and remained prime minister until 1952, when he was replaced by Chamoun with Saeb Salam. 18 September 1952 first president Bechara El Khoury forced to step down after anti-corruption protests, 23 September Camille Chamoun became president, under his leadership country experience growth and stability. Chamoun also secured the majority of power in his hands.
(Trans)Jordan– Achieved independence 25 November 1946, as in our reality a large number of Palestinian refugees and annexation of the West Bank. 20 July 1951 king Abdullah was assassinated by Palestinian radical. Prior to his assassination Britain unlike OTL supported Abdullah in promoting his other son Naif to become new heir (due to Britain being more anxious about losing influence, rather favouring openly pro-British monarch) Naif is unpopular amongst people due to being seen just as a British puppet. 1 January 1952 new constitution – Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
Iraq – Britain wants to maintain military presence in Iraq and Nuri al-Said his power, since 1946 large left-wing protests and strikes, that resulted in massacre of workers. Government instituted severe repression, banning Communist party and arresting many communists, including leadership. 29 March 1947 Salih Jabr became prime minister, under his rule 15 January 1948 Anglo-Iraqi treaty was signed, making Iraq de-facto British protectorate, Iraqi oil controlled by Iraq Petroleum Company. To protest this treaty massive protests erupted – Al-Wathbah uprising – all Iraqi opposition joined – Communist, Independence parties, Liberal and National Democrats. Salih’s government fell, and the prime minister escaped to London, the new government under Nuri responded with martial law and massive crackdowns, numerous massacres. This timeline demonstrations got so intense that in February British troops entered Iraq to “pacify” them. Parties involved unlike OTL were formally banned after 1948 uprising and Nuri consolidated his power and firm support of Britain. In 1948 Constitutional Union Party was formed by Nuri and it became dominant ruling party. Unlike OTL Nuri remained in position of prime minister since 1948 to 1952. After Palestine war, Nuri expelled all Jews from Iraq (1950). Since 1951 terms of treaty were changed with the new Labour government and Iraq got 50% of its oil revenue.
23 September - 23 December 1952 another major protests inspired by Egyptian revolution and Iranian protests erupted – Iraqi Intifada. Nuri was dismissed by regent Abd al-Ilah and replaced by reformist general Taha al-Hashimi (30 September), who negotiated with protestors. However, under British pressure Taha was ousted and replaced by general Nureddin Mahmud (3 December), who instead rejected negotiated terms, started harsh repressions and crushed the uprising. Power was transferred into civilian leadership after the 29 March 1953 unfree election, independent Mustafa Mahmud al-Umari became the new prime minister, while Nuri still controlled the country from the shadows. In May 1953 Faisal II assumed power as king. Since 1952 the idea of unification of Jordan with Iraq was often discussed.
Saudi Arabia – Nothing to change, post-war rise due to finding of oil revenues, US keeps close relations even under Taft. 9 November 1953 reign of king Saud began.
Oman&Muscat – Nothing significant in this period.
Kingdom of Yemen –failed al-Waziri coup attempt, Iman Yahia was killed (17 February 1948), however Ahmad bin Yahya ascended to the throne instead. Autocratic rule. He was opposed to the British.
British Arab Colonies – 1952 Trucial States Council formed, British supervised body.
Iran
Long Iranian Crisis
Occupied by Allied powers in 1943. Western powers are less keen to withdraw from Iran, due to the stronger Soviet Union (and also due to Churchill). According to treaty all troops shall withdraw after 6 months after the war’s end (10 November 1946). This was approved by the Hamburg conference in May 1946. By November thanks to rising suspicions nobody starts doing that (Soviets would stay anyway as they did in our reality, major change is that West stays too). The Iranian Crisis became a key event showing those deep tensions in the early cold war and it was a great mistake to overlook it. Truman doctrine is also connected to Iran.
United Nations Resolutions pushed by Iran tried to deal with the situation (Autumn 1946), however without success. Another point that almost solved this crisis was Ahmad Qavam’s proposal to give Soviet Union oil rights in Northern Iran and official Iranian proclamation wishing withdrawal of all powers, this was approved by Stalin, but rejected by Pahlavi and the West (November 1946), Qavam was dismissed in January 1948 after election, replaced by Ebrahim Hakimi. With that crisis escalated to the creation of the Azerbaijan People's Government (20 February 1947) and Republic of Mahabad (18 March 1947).
Through 1947 Kurdish and Azerbaijan states in Northern Iran started to emancipate and establish popular support. Situation seemed to develop along the lines of Austria, talks stalled after the US occupation of Greenland. With hostile relations between powers in 1948, Iran continued to be a hotspot of tensions. The Pahlavi regime and separatists both obtained military aid.
In March 1949 US troops withdrew from Iran, during the Geneva Conference (September 1949 to May 1950), states agreed to finally withdraw all troops (Soviets agreed presumably to secure their interests in Germany during negotiations), so Soviets and British finally left in March-June 1950. In 1949 also an unsuccessful assassination attempt on Shah took place (4 February 1949), it was blamed on communists and Tudeh Party was banned and communists persecuted.
Beginning of the North Iran War and British-Iranian Treaty
As Soviets finally withdrew, Shah and prime minister Haj Ali Razmara started offensive operations towards the North (31 August 1950), however separatist states were better equipped, because they received Soviet aid in previous years and thus managed to repeal the first offensive. While fighting against what was presented as continuous Soviet occupation, utilizing nationalist wave as redirection of attention of Iranians from it, Razmara signed the AIOC-Iran agreement, which institutionalised British control over Iranian oil (7 March 1951). However, it still created massive resentment, riots and protests that led to violence. During spring 1951 massive opposition against Razmara, who sought to become a strongman leader, emerged, encompassing everyone from Islamists to liberals and communists. The National Front led by Mohammad Mosaddegh became the main opposition platform.
In April Majlis rejected Razmara’s decree granting him de-facto limited dictatorial powers, which he sought to obtain to “restore order”, so it was dissolved by Shah in response (20 April) and Razmara secured power with declaration of martial law, it was met with Ayatollah Kashani calling for holy war against Razmara and the British, leading to another massive wave of upheaval in April-May 1951, that was brutally repressed with many deaths. 9 June 1951 Razmara was assassinated and killed by radical Islamist member of Fadaiyan e-Islam, Hossein Ala was installed by Shah. Pahlavi used this crisis to boost his own power. National Front was banned in July. These events left great resentments in Iranian society against ruling regime. Tudeh started armed insurgency, it was however between 1952-1953 completely crushed. Mosaddegh escaped to France. In late 1952 to early 1953 an election was held to elect new Majlis, it was rigged and all elected were “independents”.
Through 1951 the front moved in favour of Iran, however separatists with Soviet support continued to hold on. After the Iranian-British Treaty, Stalin began to see Iranian re-conquest of the North as danger for the USSR and provided significant aid, leading to stalemate in 1952.
Afghanistan – Nothing significant in this period, tribal revolts in the 1940s.
Libya – Occupied by the UK and France. 1949 UN resolution about its independence, it was achieved 24 December 1951, it became a constitutional monarchy under king Idris I.
Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria – After the Paris Conference of 1952, voices calling for independence are stronger. Tunisian Habib Bourguiba and Farhat Hached entered negotiations with the Thorez government in June 1952, after which France agreed to immediate widespread autonomy Tunisian and pledging to give it full independence before 1954. The same agreement was reached with Moroccan sultan Mohammed V. More difficult situation was in Algeria. Political party calling for independence National Liberation Front was formed 23 April 1952 led by Ferhat Abbas. Negotiations about Algerian status started, in the next month. This topic was too sensitive in France, so agreement was limited to giving Algeria autonomy as part of France for now with further negotiations about independence being open. Algerians were unhappy, as neighbours got a much better deal. Algeria was still de-facto part of metropolitan France, more power was given to the Algerian Assembly, to which a free election was promised to be held in spring 1953.
Cyprus – After the fall of the mainland, the Kingdom of Greece advocated for union. In 1952 an unofficial referendum about unification with Greece, led by Orthodox Church was held, over 80% voted for union. Unlike OTL Britain was supportive of the idea of union (to strengthen the Greek state), but as it was a viable military base, they did not want to retreat.
British India
On 10-20 November 1945 British and Indian leaders met during Simla Conference; these talks stalled due to question of Muslims. Wavell Plan proposed to Churchill by viceroy Wavell, promoted Indianisation and postwar independence, however, was rejected by Churchill (December 1945). During 1946 elections to central administration were held. After Churchill’s victory, the British prime minister (May 1946) replaced Wavell with Louis Mountbatten (5 August 1946). Summer of 1946 was marked by massive protests for independence, mutinies and violence. In Autumn 1946 Cabinet Mission was sent to discuss granting more autonomy and dominion status. Eventually they planned to create one federal state, however it was strongly opposed by the Indian Muslim League. Hindu-Muslim tensions were escalating with 16 January 1947 “Direct Action Day'' massive Muslim riots and violence. In early 1947 provincial elections were held that resulted in victory of INC or IML according to ethnic and religious lines. Results of the provincial elections clearly show opposition towards British rule.
Inspired by events in Burma and Vietnam, Communist Party of India initiated nationwide anti-British “Indian People’s Liberation Uprising” (May 1947 to 1952), its estimated over 150,000 peasants joining it. Its strength shocked Britain, attempting to crush it; the British relied on local militants and Indian forces. In May 1947 Churchill officially announced that British Raj would be transformed into two dominions. Britain established the Radcliffe Commission that established the borders of two dominions (April to December); the demarcation line was published 18 December 1947. Population transfer in Punjab was organised by Britain from August, however mass migration (that started even before partition itself happened) in other provinces shocked British officials, however Britain quickly took over migration and regulated it (thus it is lesser humanitarian catastrophe, but still it is a huge humanitarian catastrophe, estimated from 100 000 deaths to half million), migration lasted from December 1947 to mid-1950.
1 August 1948 – two British dominions – India and Pakistan came to existence. British forces remained present here, and the British monarch remained its head of state. British officials spoke about “autonomy within the Empire'' while Indians spoke about Independence. The Kashmir deal proposed by India is also pushed by the UK and is successful (in real life Pakistan rejected it) – All of Kashmir is Pakistani, while Pakistan stops claiming Hyderabad, this nullifies the existence of Sino-Indian War.
Dominion of India – Mountbatten remained a powerful governor-general, and the first Indian prime minister became Jawaharlal Nehru. Radical Hindu nationalist assassinated Gandhi as in our reality (30 January 1948) even before split itself happened. 1948-1949 integration of princely states, in some cases with help of communist rebels. Communist rebellion continues as Dominion of India is considered by them just another British colonial state. Nehru successfully passed the Constitution of India (26 January 1952) and expelled British troops. In April 1952 an agreement was reached with communists to end (already weak) uprising and to participate in political life in democratic independent India. 25 June– 21 October 1952 democratic general election was held, victory of INC, compared to our reality CPN get more support. Neutral foreign policy.
Dominion of Pakistan – First Pakistani prime minister Muhammad Ali Jinnah (position of governor-general, that was much more powerful compared to Canada for example, remained in British hands, was held by Cyril Radcliffe) died 11 September 1948, he was succeeded by Liaquat Ali Khan. Pakistan became pro-British oriented, but also established relations with socialist states. Ali Khan wanted Pakistan to become a parliamentary democracy. Muslim League faced major leftist opposition, in March 1951 socialist attempted coup (Rawalpindi conspiracy), which was exposed and failed. He was assassinated 16 October 1951. The British governor general named Malik Ghulam Muhammad as new prime minister. In August 1951 first elections in Pakistan were held, communists and socialists were not allowed to participate, victory of the United Front (East Bengal). Urdu was the only official language, while all eastern part spoke Bengal. In March 1952 Bengali protesters were massacred by police and military. From February to March 1953 large (in reality anti-Ahmadis, this timeline against British rule) riots in Lahore, ended in bloody military crackdown. In the aftermath of riots Cyril Radcliffe was recalled by Attlee and replaced by Frank Messervy.
Edit: adjusted India timeline
Burma – After the surrender of the Japanese in April 1946, military rule was reinstated in Burma. On 27 January 1947 British governor Reginald Dorman-Smith ordered the arrest of Aung San, this led into a massive rebellion of the AFPFL (Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League) and its armed wing People's Volunteer Organization with membership over 100,000 which started the Burmese Emergency. Moderates advocated for the governor to release Aung San and start negotiations, however this was shut down by Churchill, who preferred to use force. British forces failed to deal with the uprising and in 1947 large parts of Burma were controlled by AFPFL. During this uprising period and the arrest of Aung San, communist gained substantial influence. Churchill responded with increasing military presence, however after the eruption of another major anti-colonial rebellion in Malaya, British forces were with priority sent there. In 1950 AFPFL defeated colonial forces in several major engagements. Attlee decided to abandon Burma in favour of Malaya, Aung San was released (7 April 1951) and entered negotiations with Attlee, together with other leaders of the war of independence (June-September) and later negotiations between AFPFL and minorities (12 October, Panglong Agreement). Ceasefire and election on 9 March 1952, that resulted in the victory of AFPFL, Aung San became prime minister and officially declared independence of the Union of Burma (10 March 1952).
Aung San became the first prime minister, while Kyaw Nyein the first president. CPB left AFPFL and became the main opposition (Unlike OTL there is no communist insurgency against Burmese government or split in the communist party). Burma focused on social reforms, welfare state and industrialisation. Burma adopted a neutral foreign policy, however inclining more towards socialist bloc, closer relations with Yugoslavia and surprisingly Israel. Burma still has to deal with KMT remnants in the North and Karen insurgency.

Asalamalakim members. Umeed krta ho app sab khair khairiat say hongay. Main apka well wisher from across the border. Before u jump the gun . Read it till last.
I am an overseas Pakistani in EU. I am here for master studies. During my stay here and in GCC countries, I came across many IMs and also on various online platforms
But today I would like to know the IMs interaction with Pakistanis in abroad.
How did it go, when u met Pakistani for the first time. Was your perception inspired from the media, movies. Did u have negative image of us. Were u surprise when u saw no one says jannab a dozen time in a conversation and wear white topi all the time. And throwing random Urdu words
My purpose is to know what u felt what common misconception does Pakistani people have regarding you guys and which u would definitely want to clear. I know about one thing which is: ""That all IMs are living a life in suppression under BJP gov(which I know is not 100,% true. Their life is hard but not hell)"" Talks about some other misconceptions. Like IMs supporting Pakistan in cricket 😂 lol. I know it does not happens.
Another thing is kindly avoid hateful comments. Such as stick to your country, your country is such a hell, you allso treats minority badly, it's is your country which has made us suffered.
As I said my purpose is to know your personal experience not to convey a point. We would discuss that some other day let just make this an enjoyable thread.
Sorry for asking this, I am sure that u guys must be really tried of Pakistanis asking u questions and annoying u again and again on certain topics. I am sorry for that. But that's understandable since this naturally generates curiosity in certain Pakistanis who haven't met Indian Muslims and they eager to know and learn about IM lives and differences.
May Allah ease your hardship and bestow you with happiness.😊

"伊姆蘭汗的被捕留下了尚未癒合的深刻傷口
2023 年 5 月 9 日，當現任總理伊姆蘭汗 (Imran Khan) 因腐敗指控被警察從法院拖出時，巴基斯坦的反應與以往不同。
憤怒的支持者走上全國各地城市的街頭，屬於巴基斯坦強大軍隊的建築成為目標——這對當地廣為人知的建制派機構來說是一個衝擊。
「當他被捕時，我們的心沉了下去。我們哭著，不知道該怎麼辦，」哈桑說。在那裡。
當時城內一位中將的住所已經被縱火焚燒。
在汗被捕的首都伊斯蘭堡的街道上，抗議者推倒路牌，縱火投擲石頭。數十座軍事紀念碑遭到破壞。
長期以來對這個穆斯林占多數的國家的治理具有影響力的軍方迅速將 2023 年 5 月 9 日定為「黑色日」。他們還將抗議活動描述為「對軍隊的襲擊」。
一年過去了，這位前板球明星的許多支持者仍然因當天事件造成的身體和情感創傷而感到震驚。
哈桑是因參與抗議活動而被捕的數百人之一。他們中的許多人告訴BBC烏爾都語，他們「和平」走上街頭，沒有參與暴力，但在沒有正當程序的情況下被關押，並在拘留期間受到虐待。
板球明星和前總理分裂巴基斯坦
伊姆蘭汗為何被捕？
哈桑說，他加入抗議活動“是因為我覺得發生在伊姆蘭·汗身上的事情是錯誤的……我們告訴警察，‘今天，你們已經越過了紅線’”，他說。
「許多巴基斯坦人與汗·薩希布有著情感上的聯繫，」他用當地的術語或尊稱說道。 “對我們來說，他就像一個兄弟，就像一個父親。”
汗被捕後走上街頭的另一位支持者阿布拉爾回憶說，去年五月看到汗被捕的鏡頭後，他「立即」離開了拉合爾的家，因為他覺得「他的領導人不應該以這種方式受到羞辱」。
在這個板球幾乎得到狂熱支持的國家，汗是板球運動的偶像。 1992年，他作為隊長帶領國家隊奪得世界盃冠軍，為國家帶來了榮耀。
但批評者認為，汗先生在上台期間得到了軍隊的支持，但雙方都否認了這項指控。自建國以來，巴基斯坦軍方一直對其產生了重大影響，並且是該國政治的重要幕後參與者。
他於 2018 年 7 月當選總理，但四年後在議會不信任投票中被罷免。今年二月大選前不久，他被判多項刑事罪，被禁止參選。他正在處理數十起法律案件，包括腐敗和恐怖主義指控，但仍然是分裂巴基斯坦的強大力量。
在二月的選舉中，他的政黨被剝奪了選舉標誌和統一的綱領，被迫以獨立人士的身份參選候選人，隨後他們在令人震驚的結果中成為最大的單一集團。然而，他們未能達到組建政府所需的多數票。

2023 年 5 月 9 日，伊姆蘭汗因貪污指控被捕，引發巴基斯坦全國抗議
5 月 9 日的抗議活動造成至少 10 人死亡、數百人受傷，當局還表示，這項抗議造成了 25 億盧比（900 萬美元；720 萬英鎊）的損失。
此後的鎮壓是有效而嚴厲的。被監禁的抗議者談到了虐待和絕望。
「有時監獄感覺更像是墓地。就像我們在親人的墳墓前背誦祈禱文一樣，也許我們的家人來見我們時也在背誦同樣的祈禱文，」阿布拉爾說，他在今年早些時候時候被釋放。
「我的女兒會哭，我無法擦乾她的眼淚，」他補充道。
被拘留的抗議者同伴英蒂扎爾告訴英國廣播公司烏爾都語監獄官員「對待我們就好像我們是恐怖分子，而不是巴基斯坦人一樣」。
「我告訴他們我只是抗議，並沒有破壞，」他說。
在警察追捕他的家人並打破他家的大門試圖找到他後，他向警察自首。
“我認為我們無法描述我們和我們的家人所經歷的一切。”
前內政部長拉納·薩納拉 (Rana Sanaullah) 表示，2023 年 5 月 9 日的事件只是 PTI 過去抗議活動的延續。
「這種氛圍的產生是因為 PTI 創始人決心證明自己比國家更強大，」他指的是伊姆蘭·汗 (Imran Khan)。
“怎麼會有人說‘如果我被捕，就跨越了紅線’？這就像一場叛亂。”
一年過去了，政治觀察家表示，在抗議者的不滿得到解決之前，巴基斯坦將無法繼續前進。
報道抗議活動的記者貝娜齊爾·沙阿 (Benazir Shah) 表示：“我覺得國家只是在此事上發洩憤怒，似乎是在試圖報復，而不是對此進行調查。”
沙阿女士敦促當局展開調查，並明確所有涉案人員的角色。
「在這一切完成之前，我們將無法前進。在你回答過去一年沒有回答的問題之前，如果國家保持沉默，那麼我們將無法前進，我們也不會能夠談論未來，」她說。
但軍方仍然堅定地決心懲罰那些對抗議活動負責的人。
「不能與無政府主義團體進行談判，」陸軍發言人艾哈邁德·謝里夫少將告訴記者，他指的是印度公共運輸部。
「唯一的出路是這樣一個無政府主義團體向國家道歉，並承諾離開仇恨政治並參與建設性政治。”

"伊姆兰·汗的被捕留下了尚未愈合的深刻伤口
2023 年 5 月 9 日，当前总理伊姆兰·汗 (Imran Khan) 因腐败指控被警察从法院拖出时，巴基斯坦的反应与以往不同。
愤怒的支持者走上全国各地城市的街头，属于巴基斯坦强大军队的建筑成为目标——这对当地广为人知的建制派机构来说是一个冲击。
“当他被捕时，我们的心沉了下去。我们哭着，不知道该怎么办，”哈桑说。他骑自行车前往拉合尔的一个中央市场，汗所在的巴基斯坦正义运动党经常聚集在那里。
当时城内一位中将的住所已经被纵火焚烧。
在汗被捕的首都伊斯兰堡的街道上，抗议者推倒路牌，纵火并投掷石块。数十座军事纪念碑遭到破坏。
长期以来对这个穆斯林占多数的国家的治理具有影响力的军方迅速将 2023 年 5 月 9 日定为“黑色日”。他们还将抗议活动描述为“对军队的袭击”。
一年过去了，这位前板球明星的许多支持者仍然因当天事件造成的身体和情感创伤而感到震惊。
哈桑是因参与抗议活动而被捕的数百人之一。他们中的许多人告诉BBC乌尔都语，他们“和平”走上街头，没有参与暴力，但在没有正当程序的情况下被关押，并在拘留期间受到虐待。
板球明星和前总理分裂巴基斯坦
伊姆兰·汗为何被捕？
哈桑说，他加入抗议活动“是因为我觉得发生在伊姆兰·汗身上的事情是错误的……我们告诉警察，‘今天，你们已经越过了红线’”，他说。
“许多巴基斯坦人与汗·萨希布有着情感上的联系，”他用当地的术语或尊称说道。 “对我们来说，他就像一个兄弟，就像一个父亲。”
汗被捕后走上街头的另一位支持者阿布拉尔回忆说，去年五月看到汗被捕的镜头后，他“立即”离开了拉合尔的家，因为他觉得“他的领导人不应该以这种方式受到羞辱”。
在这个板球运动几乎得到狂热支持的国家，汗是板球运动的偶像。 1992年，他作为队长带领国家队夺得世界杯冠军，为国家带来了荣耀。许多巴基斯坦人从小就崇拜他。
但批评者认为，汗先生在上台期间得到了军队的支持，但双方都否认了这一指控。巴基斯坦自建国以来，军方一直对其产生了重大影响，并且是该国政治的重要幕后参与者。
他于 2018 年 7 月当选总理，但四年后在议会不信任投票中被罢免。今年二月大选前不久，他被判多项刑事罪，被禁止参选。他正在处理数十起法律案件，包括腐败和恐怖主义指控，但仍然是分裂巴基斯坦的强大力量。
在二月份的选举中，他的政党被剥夺了选举标志和统一的纲领，被迫以独立人士的身份参选候选人，随后他们在令人震惊的结果中成为最大的单一集团。然而，他们未能达到组建政府所需的多数票。

2023 年 5 月 9 日，伊姆兰·汗因贪污指控被捕，引发巴基斯坦全国抗议
5 月 9 日的抗议活动造成至少 10 人死亡、数百人受伤，当局还表示，此次抗议造成了 25 亿卢比（900 万美元；720 万英镑）的损失。
此后的镇压是有效而严厉的。被监禁的抗议者谈到了虐待和绝望。
“有时监狱感觉更像是一个墓地。就像我们在亲人的坟墓前背诵祈祷文一样，也许我们的家人来见我们时也在背诵同样的祈祷文，”阿布拉尔说，他在今年早些时候被释放。入狱九个月。
“我的女儿会哭，我无法擦干她的眼泪，”他补充道。
被拘留的抗议者同伴英蒂扎尔告诉英国广播公司乌尔都语监狱官员“对待我们就好像我们是恐怖分子，而不是巴基斯坦人一样”。
“我告诉他们我只是抗议，并没有破坏，”他说。
在警察追捕他的家人并打破他家的大门试图找到他后，他向警察自首。
“我认为我们无法描述我们和我们的家人所经历的一切。”
前内政部长拉纳·萨纳拉 (Rana Sanaullah) 表示，2023 年 5 月 9 日的事件只是 PTI 过去抗议活动的延续。
“这种氛围的产生是因为 PTI 创始人决心证明自己比国家更强大，”他指的是伊姆兰·汗 (Imran Khan)。
“怎么会有人说‘如果我被捕，就跨越了红线’？这就像一场叛乱。”
一年过去了，政治观察人士表示，在抗议者的不满得到解决之前，巴基斯坦将无法继续前进。
报道抗议活动的记者贝娜齐尔·沙阿 (Benazir Shah) 表示：“我觉得国家只是在此事上发泄愤怒，似乎是在试图报复，而不是对此进行调查。”
沙阿女士敦促当局展开调查，并明确所有涉案人员的角色。
“在这一切完成之前，我们将无法前进。在你回答过去一年没有回答的问题之前，如果国家保持沉默，那么我们将无法前进，我们也不会能够谈论未来，”她说。
但军方仍然坚定地决心惩罚那些对抗议活动负责的人。
“不能与无政府主义团体进行谈判，”陆军发言人艾哈迈德·谢里夫少将告诉记者，他指的是印度公共运输部。
“唯一的出路是这样一个无政府主义团体向国家道歉，并承诺离开仇恨政治并参与建设性政治。”

"L-arrest ta’ Imran Khan ħalla feriti profondi li għad iridu jfejqu
Meta l-eks Prim Ministru Imran Khan tkaxkar barra minn dar tal-qorti mill-pulizija fuq akkużi ta’ korruzzjoni fid-9 ta’ Mejju 2023, ir-reazzjoni kienet differenti minn kull ħaġa li dehret fil-Pakistan qabel.
Partitarji rrabjati niżlu fit-toroq fi bliet madwar il-pajjiż u bini li jappartjeni lill-militar qawwi tal-Pakistan sar il-mira – xokk għall-istituzzjoni magħrufa lokalment bħala l-establishment.
""Meta ġie arrestat, qlubna għereq. Konna nibku u ma konniex nafu x'għandna nagħmlu,"" qal Hasan, li rċiklta lejn suq ċentrali f'Lahore fejn ta 'spiss kien inġabar il-partit Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) ta' Khan.
Ir-residenza ta’ logutenent ġenerali fil-belt kienet diġà nħarqet sa dak iż-żmien.
Fit-toroq tal-kapitali Islamabad, fejn Khan ġie arrestat, id-dimostranti niżżlu t-tabelli tat-toroq, xegħlu n-nar u tefgħu l-ġebel. Għadd ta' monumenti militari ġew vandalizzati.
Il-militar, li ilu jmexxi l-governanza fil-pajjiż b’maġġoranza Musulmana, malajr ittikketta d-9 ta’ Mejju 2023 bħala “Jum l-Iswed”. Huma ddeskrivew ukoll il-protesti bħala “attakk fuq l-armata”.
Sena wara, ħafna partitarji tal-istilla tal-cricket ta’ qabel għadhom jittajru mill-ġrieħi fiżiċi u emozzjonali tal-avvenimenti tal-ġurnata.
Hasan kien fost mijiet arrestati għall-involviment tagħhom fil-protesti. Ħafna minnhom qalu lill-BBC Urdu li niżlu fit-toroq “b’mod paċifiku” u ma kinux involuti fil-vjolenza, iżda madankollu nżammu mingħajr proċess dovut u ttrattati ħażin waqt li kienu detenuti.
L-istilla tal-cricket u l-eks PM li qed jifred il-Pakistan
Għaliex ġie arrestat Imran Khan?
Hasan qal li ngħaqad mal-protesti “għax ħassejt li dak li ġara lil Imran Khan kien ħażin... Konna qed ngħidu lill-pulizija, ‘Illum, inti qasmet il-linja l-ħamra’, qal.
“Ħafna Pakistani għandhom konnessjoni emozzjonali ma’ Khan Sahib,” qal, billi uża terminu lokali jew rispett. ""Hu bħal ħu, bħal missier, għalina.""
Abrar, partitarju ieħor li niżel fit-toroq wara l-arrest ta’ Khan, fakkar li telaq minn daru f’Lahore “minnufih” wara li ra filmati tal-arrest ta’ Khan f’Mejju li għadda, hekk kif ħass li “l-mexxej tiegħu ma kellux jiġi umiljat b’dan il-mod”.
Khan huwa ikona tal-cricket f'pajjiż fejn l-isport igawdi appoġġ kważi fanatiku. Huwa ġab glorja lill-pajjiż bħala captain meta mexxa lit-tim nazzjonali għar-rebħa tat-Tazza tad-Dinja fl-1992. Ħafna Pakistani kibru idolizzawh.
Iżda l-kritiċi jargumentaw li s-Sur Khan kellu l-appoġġ tal-armata matul iż-żieda tiegħu fil-poter, allegazzjoni li ż-żewġ naħat jiċħdu. Il-militar influwenza ħafna lill-Pakistan għal ħafna mill-eżistenza tiegħu u huwa attur kruċjali wara l-kwinti fil-politika tal-pajjiż.
Huwa ġie elett PM f’Lulju 2018 iżda tneħħa permezz ta’ vot parlamentari ta’ sfiduċja erba’ snin wara. Ftit qabel l-elezzjonijiet ġenerali ta’ Frar ta’ Frar ingħata diversi kundanni kriminali, li pprojbitu milli joħroġ. Huwa qed jiġġieled bosta każijiet legali, inklużi akkużi għal korruzzjoni u terroriżmu, iżda għadu forza qawwija li tifred il-Pakistan.
Matul l-elezzjonijiet ta’ Frar, il-partit tiegħu, li kien miċħud is-simbolu elettorali tiegħu u pjattaforma magħquda, kien sfurzat imexxi kandidati bħala indipendenti, li mbagħad ħarġu bħala l-akbar blokk uniku b’riżultat ta’ xokk. Madankollu, ma laħqux il-maġġoranza meħtieġa biex jiffurmaw gvern.

L-arrest ta' Imran Khan fuq akkużi ta' tilqim qanqal protesti madwar il-Pakistan fid-9 ta' Mejju 2023
Mill-inqas 10 persuni nqatlu u mijiet midruba waqt il-protesti tad-9 ta’ Mejju, li l-awtoritajiet qalu wkoll irriżultaw f’telf ta’ 2.5 biljun rupee ($9m; £7.2m).
Ir-repressjoni wara kienet effettiva u ħarxa. Id-dimostranti li kienu l-ħabs tkellmu dwar abbuż u disprament.
""Xi drabi l-ħabs kien iħossu aktar ċimiterju. Bħal kif nirreċitaw talb fl-oqbra tal-maħbubin tagħna, forsi l-familji tagħna kienu qed jirreċitaw l-istess talb meta ġew jiltaqgħu magħna,"" qal Abrar, li nħeles kmieni din is-sena wara li qatta' disa’ xhur ħabs.
“Binti kienet tkun qed tibki u ma stajtx nixxottaha d-dmugħ,” żied jgħid.
Intizar, sieħeb dimostrant li kien detenut, qal lill-uffiċjali tal-ħabs tal-BBC Urdu “ttrattawna bħallikieku konna terroristi, mhux Pakistani”.
“Għidtilhom li pprotestajt biss u ma vvandalizzajtx,” qal.
Huwa biddel lilu nnifsu f’pulizija wara li marru wara l-familja tiegħu u kissru l-grada tad-dar tiegħu f’tentattiv biex isibuh.
""Naħseb li qatt ma nistgħu niddeskrivu dak li ġarrbu aħna u l-familji tagħna.""
L-eks Ministru tal-Intern Rana Sanaullah qalet li l-avvenimenti tad-9 ta’ Mejju 2023 kienu biss kontinwazzjoni tal-protesti tal-PTI fil-passat.
""L-atmosfera kienet inħolqot minħabba li l-fundatur tal-PTI kien determinat li jipprova lilu nnifsu aktar b'saħħtu mill-istat,"" huwa qal, b'referenza għal Imran Khan.
""Kif jista' xi ħadd jgħid li 'Jekk niġi arrestat, tkun qed taqsam linja ħamra'? Din hija bħal ribelljoni.""
Filwaqt li għaddiet sena, l-għassaturi politiċi jgħidu li l-Pakistan mhux se jkun jista’ jimxi ‘l quddiem sakemm jiġu indirizzati l-ilmenti tad-dimostranti.
“Inħoss li l-istat kien qed joħroġ ir-rabja tiegħu fuq din il-kwistjoni, bħallikieku qed jipprova jieħu vendetta, minflok jinvestigaha,” qal il-ġurnalist Benazir Shah, li rrapporta dwar il-protesti.
Is-Sinjura Shah ħeġġet lill-awtoritajiet biex iniedu investigazzjoni u jagħmlu ċari r-rwoli ta’ kull min hu involut.
""Aħna ma nkunux nistgħu nimxu 'l quddiem sakemm isir dan. Sakemm inti twieġeb il-mistoqsijiet li ma ġewx imwieġba għal din l-aħħar sena, jekk l-istat jibqa' sieket, allura ma nkunux nistgħu nimxu 'l quddiem u ma nkunux tkun tista’ titkellem dwar il-futur,” qalet.
Iżda l-militar jibqa’ sod fid-determinazzjoni tiegħu li jikkastiga lil dawk responsabbli għall-protesti.
“In-negozjati ma jistgħux isiru ma’ grupp anarkista,” qal lill-ġurnalisti l-kelliem tal-armata Maj Gen Ahmed Sharif, filwaqt li rrefera għall-PTI.
""L-unika triq 'il quddiem hija li grupp anarkista bħal dan jiskuża ruħu man-nazzjon u jwiegħed li jħalli l-politika ta' mibegħda u jipparteċipa f'politika kostruttiva.""

Assalam u alaikum, I’m reposting my profile about a month later. But this time I’m not copy-pasting my profile again.
Who should not DM me:

• People who DM "hi" without a profile.
• People who care about caste.
• People who aren't serious or people who don’t want to eventually include their parents.
• People who’d need me to explain Succession to them. After all, “Connor Roy was interested in politics at a very young age”.

I’m serious about finding someone. If we vibe, we’d need to at least let our parents know and take over the process. Other than that, feel free to read my profile down below. I’m clear cut and upfront with my ups and downs, especially my flaws.
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Height & Weight: 5ft 8 71kg
Marital status: Single, never married.
Education: Went to a Software Engineering school for 2-years instead of a traditional uni degree.
Profession: Remote Software Engineer for an NYC-based company
Do you want kids? Yes, probably a year or two into the marriage, not immediately.
Religion & Level of Religiosity:
Islam, Sunni, Hanafi
I memorized 12 paras. I strictly keep Islamic fundamentals and my morality in check, I refer to Sharia or scholarly opinions, stay away from interest/riba, I don’t listen to music, never dated, only invest in sharia compliant funds, pay zakat, and these days (past few months) I am getting back on track to memorizing my Hifz again and praying salah on time. I’m still a work in progress.
One major flaw that I have is that I unfortunately eat Zabiha because of where I live. Getting Halal here has been impossible for me regardless of whether I decide to cook or take-out. I’m expecting to cut this out as soon as I move to a larger city where halal food is available.
Deal breakers:

• Someone who doesn’t at least pray 5 times a day.
• Someone who isn’t family-oriented first.

Interesting facts about you:
I like to think I’m a really straight-forward person. I’m extremely goal-oriented. I’ve been away from home, solo, for the past 5 years. I’ve been supporting both, my parents and siblings for a while and find myself in a really good place to look into the next chapter of life.
I grew up in 6 countries, been through primary and secondary school throughout all of those countries, been through ups and downs of life, spiritually and financially. I’ve been through good times and near-poverty but I’m really good right now.
Despite being born in the US, I have no issues with Urdu (I wasn't raised in the US) and am fairly familiar with Karachi. I’ve clocked in total of 5 years in the city and I’ve been to Islamabad too.
If you’re into MBTIs, I got INTJ twice, once in 2020 and once in 2024. I’m a huge planner. You don’t want to see my Notion docs. I’m also into debates, but not to change people’s opinions but to see different perspectives and why people see things the way they do and to learn stuff.
I game but these days I’ve been naturally cutting it down to the point where I only play when my friends invite me for games or if there’s an amazing single-player game that I need to get through. I just don’t care about gaming as much.
I wasn't really into music or TV in the past beyond my Cartoon Network days, but I started to get into shows when I finally upgraded my 4k/HDR setup. Aside from the classics (The Office/Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul), my favorite shows so far have been

• Succession
  
• The Recruit
  
• The Designated Survivor
  
• The Good Doctor (first 3 seasons)
  

Country: USA
Joint/nuclear(Optional): Unsure so far, we can talk about the details in DMs
Requirements:

• Someone between 22-26.
• If they want to maintain a career, then they should be into something with work-life balance.
• Needs to be educated. This is huge for me for two reasons:
  • I'm a huge planner I would really like to discuss my plans with my partner, debate choices and get feedback. I need someone fully involved in my plans and critique me.
  • As much as I'm happy to take on the full financial burden of running a household, there are times when things get tough, I'm hoping she can jump into the workforce if needed. Other than that, I don't really care if she wants to work or not.
• Can cook! This is huge for me. I can cook for sure and I have been for the past 5 years, but nothing compares to Pakistani food 🤷‍♂️.
• Someone who can take constructive criticism and not take it personally. I don't ask for something I can't offer. I'm pretty open minded when it comes to criticism and I don't take it personally either.

Timeframe in which you want to marry(Optional):
Around a year sounds good to me, but slight exceptions can be made.

I'm a UF online student who recently started working my first job at the UPS store. The store is owned/ managed by Pakistanis/Indians and they have like 5 staff members now including me. I'm not gonna lie, I'm definitely not winning any employee of the month awards any time soon.
Going into this job, my goal was to get valuable experience leading up to an internship I plan to apply for next summer. I feel like I was never properly trained, kind of just thrown into the mix since day 1 and had to learn to adjust on the fly. My co-workers are all fine, but they are kind of unapproachable so it's hard to keep asking for help as I'm expected to pick up things by just watching them each day. The store center manager is a typical northern pakistani older guy, and his attitude is honestly unbearable for me personally. The store isn't located in a great area and l'd say 3/4 of the customers are either senile or just crazy.
A lot of people don't like the way things are handled in the store, while others have had good experiences and think the store runs efficiently. I can't really criticize the way they operate as that is evaluated and assessed by corporate, but is it normal for a first time employee such as myself to receive such poor treatment? I'm definitely to blame for some of it, but I feel like since the beginning I was treated inappropriately. For context, l'm Indian but was born in America and only speak English. A lot of the times I hear the manager switching languages and it's very obvious he's talking about me and I can vaguely make out some of the profanities he's saying in urdu.
My hours keep getting cut each week and I basically got replaced by this new South Indian dude that speaks the same language as them. I’m not gonna lie, this caused me to get in my head a little as I felt a bit incompetent considering someone who came a week after me picked things up faster. However, I truly feel this was only because he speaks the same language as them and was given more freedom to learn everything quickly. I’m confident in my own abilities, and I know I’m not a dumb person. First impressions matter a lot though, and that guy simply gave a better first impression. That’s where my inexperience definitely plays a factor, as he’s worked several jobs before.
I also only get payed $12/hour, and I feel like I'm constantly overworked. They get me to do all the dirty stuff they don't feel like doing when I'm there such as cleaning and moving heavy packages. I also try to handle most of the Amazon returns, ship as many packages as I can out, pushing notaries in the system, faxing/copying/scanning documents, etc. However, I always get gaslighted and told that I'm basically not working hard enough by the store manager.
I'd legit be actively handling so many customers at certain busy times, then all of a sudden he creeps up on me and starts micromanaging whatever I'm doing which honestly starts pressuring me into overthinking and making mistakes. l've definitely made mistakes, and I completely understand why he'd want to make sure nothing goes wrong on his end. I have no problem with that. But, I feel like he always catches me the one time I don't do something perfect or will always interrupt me and mess with my process which leads me to make mistakes. Then, he just puts it in his head that I’m incompetent, ignoring all the work that I previously did. I get it though, that’s just how it is. I know it’s on me, but it’s hard to focus when someone is constantly pacing and breathing down ur neck, literally invading my personal space.
He’s also harder on me than the other co-workers there. He’s Muslim, so he goes kind of easy on the girls. I see my co-workers sitting on desks and on their phones sometimes when customers aren’t in the store, yet he never says anything about it. However, when he sees me on the phone for a second or sitting down to rest my legs from standing an hour straight, he starts trying to scold me like he’s my uncle or dad or something. I would have zero problem with this if he kept this same energy with the other workers.
Also, one time I wore striped black pants with my uniform for work because I saw one of my co-workers did it everyday, so I assumed it was allowed. He jumps on me the second I walk in and starts asking why I’m not in uniform. I legit pointed at the other dude wearing the exact same pants and he goes “It doesn’t matter! It doesn’t matter what he’s wearing, I’m asking you!” But you could tell I got him with that 😂🤦‍♂️ 5 mins later dude comes and tells the other guy EXTREMELY POLITELY in urdu to wear the proper pants next time, I couldn’t here what the dude said back. Regardless, the dude has still worn those same striped pants EVERY day since, and the manager hasn’t said a WORD about it. Clearly, there’s favoritism at play. Or, he just doesn’t like me and gets some kind of power rush.
He tries to be nice at times but very selectively and it’s in a very demeaning manner, he kinda tries to talk down to me and treat me like a pet. I also gotta add, the dude smells like actual sh*t sometimes, and he starts spitting in my face when he talks. Not to mention his right hand guy that works there like 2 days a week tries giving me life advice I didn't ask for every time I walk by him. If he was chill about it I wouldn't be too pressed about it, butI'm forced to be around this dude all day when he's there and he just seems like he has anxiety or something he reminds me of one those know-it-all Indian dudes with glasses always yapping about something.
It's legit driving me insane, I feel like I'm working with people that get a power rush off running a UPS store. At the same time, being there and constantly feeling the heat causes me to get in my own head sometimes and question myself. Am I the one in the wrong here? Is this stuff a lot of y'all have went through at jobs? I feel like l'm also being taken advantage of because they think I'm young and naive. I do appreciate the fact that they still give me hours, although they've been cut dramatically, but each day I work there I feel like my soul is being drained from me. Is it worth sticking it out to get the experience/references for my resume, or do you think I should look elsewhere for work? I really don't like the Indian/Pakistani way of doing things, I feel like it's just not a fit for me.

Hey!
27 year old here, born and raised in Norway with parents and grand parents of Pakistani & Kashmiri origin who immigrated here during the 1970's. Looking for friends to chat with, preferably with some of the same interests as me, but I'm not picky. I have a few queer friends, but would love to have more!
My interests are:

• Tattoos
• Travel
• Cooking
• Hiking
• Finance
• Teaching/pedagogy
• Arts and crafts

Please don't hesitate to message me! I speak Norwegian, English, Urdu, Pahari/Punjabi and some French.

I'm a foreigner studying in an arab country, it's hard for me to communicate to the local students here and i feel like i'm missing out on so many friendships and academic opportunities just because i can't speak arabic.
I'm Pakistani and since my language (urdu) is similar to arabic, i have a basic idea on the arabic letters, syntax and how to pronounce them. All that is left is for me is to speak and understand it fluently, and i'm confused on when, where and how to start.
Anyone kind enough to leave most common phrases used in the comments like "When is the next class" or "Is the class canceled?" etc... and/or help me pave a roadmap for me to learn & speak arabic as soon as possible? i would appreciate alot!
Shukran

Ok, despite what some have said or may suspect I’m a British Pakistani whose parents are from the Potohar region of Punjab. I’m really not some BJP actor masquerading as a Muslim but if you want to believe that then I guess there’s nothing much I can do about it.
I love Arabic - the language of the Qur’an. I also love Persian - the prestige language of North India for some 500+ years and the language in which Muslim poetry and treatises were written.
BUT…Punjabi is a Sanskrit derived language and I can’t help but feel that it has too many Arabic-Persian loanwords in it. Where we know of a Sanskrit origin word that was previously used I feel we should reintroduce it to the language. A prime example would be vidihya (Sanskrit) instead of ilam (Arabic origin). Tatha (Sanskrit) instead of garam (Persian) would be another.
Languages evolve. These Arabic-Persian loanwords replaced existing Sanskrit origin words and the reverse can also happen. If I want to hear an endless stream of Arabic-Persian loanwords then I’ll listen to Urdu. When I hear Punjabi I want to hear a language that is much truer to its linguistic origin.
Sorry if this triggers anyone and it wasn’t my intent to provoke anyone. Just how I feel.

Hello,
So I wanted to post this on Pakistan but have no karma because I usually just browse and I think this is my first post, anyway help is appreciated :)
I am a third generation British-Pakistani. Neither me nor my parents have been to Pakistan before but I feel like I have to. I have been learning Urdu and I plan to visit in October. I`m hoping to go from Karachi to Kashmir. So a few questions:

1. How safe is Pakistan generally, I`ve heard mixed things and the British Gov. travel advice seems to portray it as quite unsafe. It says there is an increased risk of diaspora being kidnapped etc.
   
2. What are the attitudes like to diaspora coming back, I am not very religious but should I mention this to people I meet?
   
3. I`ve been reading a lot about the underground music scene in places like Karachi and Lahore and would really like to check out the DnB/Jungle scene and experience that bit of the culture. (I`m so fine with the not drinking just think it would be a nice space to meet people)
   
4. If I have been to Pakistan with a British passport can I then visit India?
   
5. Doing some research online it seems I`m not eligible for much more than the tourist visa despite being Pakistani origin, was thinking of emailing the embassy if anyone knows about longer stay visas that are more than 30 days.
   
6. what are the best ways to meet/engage with people, I will be hostelling but beyond this?
   

Sorry for the long post, but if you have any information relating to these questions, please do let me know! Thanks :)
