First PAkistan was part of India. My great great great.. grandpas lived there in Sind/mohenjodaro/harappa..(WHich is now the oldest civilization in this world). Anyways..
Some fight took place in congress party just after independence and a group of people decided to have a separate country for muslims and then our Bharat got divided into Hindustan and Pakistan(Stan means 'place' and is pronounced as sthan). Then 10 to 20 idiotic leading council(the remaining 20,00,000 being clever) of muslims in pakistan gave ultimatum 'leave pakistan within so-and-so days'. Meanwhile our Gandhi said "who wants to stay can stay blah..blah..blah..". That's it--> I was an Indian,am an indian,will be an indian...
so my forefathers decided that they belong to the main land only and they left!
F: why did they leave?
M: Because when those 20 to 40 fools who were deciding where the muslims must stay laid their eyes on pakistan area and gujurais were given GUJURAT, tamilians..TAMILNADU, Bengalis were given BENGAL..and so on...
F: Why were sindhis not given sind?
M: Because they were idiots. they liked the most ancient civilization-its drainage,etc..a lot and besides they knew Sindis are like OAk trees -->- robust,courageous,strong,unrelenting,independent,sensible,does not love changes,keeps feet on ground,person of action... What I wonder is..................... why did all this unnecessary stuff happen?
F: Ohhh! Ya da u're right. ok bye..
M: then listen!..now that u have made me start.....when all sindhis decided to leave pakistan some idiotic indians fought a great cowardly fight on weaponless innocent muslims here killing many of them as they jumped on trains....same way as monkey copies man....the pakistanis came and fought against us weaponless innocent sindhis (who were their good neighbours one day and the next day...hell on earth...for us they killed 10 times more number of sindhis.)*what r we?* *Vegetables?*.
F: *does not know what to do**blank look*
M: *staring into space with blank look*
F: ?
M: then our grandpas came here scared as small kids or may be at age of 20ish.. and they worked hard and made india 1000 times better than pakistan.

NOTE: You will never find a sindhi beggar anywhere!!
F: ohhh... superb da...
M: *modest* what?
F: But still da...
M: what now?
F: U r still a pakistani know?
M: *cursing-banging-breaking (my head) *
F: *laughing*
M: * looking at him* *me too..laughing*

WHAT???
OK??

 ....... THE END.....
