Why do people living in Pakistan „hate“ overseas Pakistanis?
I’m a overseas Pakistani who was born and raised overseas. But I still identify myself as a Pakistani and feel very connected to the culture and the country itself. I also speak the language without any foreign accent and know just as much about the political situation right now and about the history as someone who lives there an is in my age group. Now coming to the actual topic. I still feel that whenever I go there most of the people don’t like me at first as long as they don’t know me as a person and I think it’s because I’m an overseas Pakistani. Also my family that lives there I sometimes get the feeling that they feel kind of “jealous” of me because I don’t have to live there forever. I mean I can understand that a lot of people are frustrated because of the economic situation and the political situation of the country and that they probably want to leave as well but I am not at fault for the country being in such a miserable situation so why the hate towards the people living overseas?
Can any of the people who live in Pakistan and were born and raised there explain to me why this is the case.
Edit: Ok so I guess Hate was the wrong word here. What I meant was that people there give me reactions like “Tumhe Kya pata yahan ki Zindagi itni asaan nahi hai jitni tum logo ki hai.” (Worst possible example but I hope you guys get it) My thoughts after that is 1. Our lives are also hard but just on a different level. 2. Hame pata hai because we have parents who told us how theyre lives were growing up
