Prejudice and Profession

Aliens of Pakistan - Afghani

Pakistan and particularly Karachi has two different sets of garbage collectors, one who swifts through garbage and eats whatever it can, such as stray dogs and cats, and the other set of garbage collector is Afghani people and drug addicts.

The series is about how we are living in denial, while inbreeding prejudice. Usually when we speak about India, we in Pakistan feel a bit proud to explain how we have liberated ourselves from class system, but have we? We spoke to few garbage collectors in city, almost all being pushtoons, and 99.99% hail from Afghanistan, we are just portraying how it is. If we wish to live denial, we can, but for how long? Speaking to them, we realized this job is not easy, this is not something everybody can do. It's not just dirty, it is deadly too. Garbage is filled with toxins, which can prove deadly to any living organism, not just humans, hence, most of them get sick, most of them get blind, some of them die. What else can they do? They are poor, they are minority, and they are stuck in this vicious cycle of life, where they have to do what they have to do, because of just who they are. Pakistan have been bearing the brunt of Afghan war since 1979, first we faced mujahedeen, they came to Pakistan, they were trained and sent back to Afghanistan to liberate Afghanistan. And due to war, most Afghans left Afghanistan for neighboring states, mostly in Iran and Pakistan. Pakistan has 3 million afghans, most of them are garbage collectors and others are mostly involved in drugs and crimes. Most of them are aliens just roaming around the streets of Karachi and taking part in majorly informal economy of this country. Aliens in any state leech on state's resources and the only way to fix it is either accept them or expel them, but Sadly.. no government will do something about this inbred racism developing in all of us, no government will help these aliens come out of this cycle of getting jobs by their religion/race. No government will help this country by sorting out this situation, we are breeding a new form of minority, we are breeding a new form of ethnic divide in this city, we are flooding the city of Karachi with aliens. WE NEED TO ACCEPT THEM, OR EXPELL THEM. OUR SUGGESTION: EXPEL, AND PUT A STOP TO INFLUX, AND STOP THIS CHILD LABOUR!
