#ok but talking about asia#like even in our older parents time and grandparents times#there are so many people a who were born in india before the partition#and now how will they answer this?#so many people moved during parition and yet just as many didnt#the aunty who was born in india is suddenly from pakistan#but like what would you call that#what would you say about all the indian (prepartition) women who were taken from their home by colonizers and made to work in africa#the whole continent btw#theyve stayed there for so long#what would you say about that?#the american tendency to flatten the naunces of life in favour of their opinion of things#really needs to be taken out back and set to rights

I am stuck with this here and the longer I look, the more questions I have. I will make this post here because OP is quite young and it is a silly post after all.

First, it assumes that "your country" now is the same as it was when "great-great grandparents" and the same as "farther back than that". When the reality of most countries is that they've been changing borders.

I am not going further than the 19th Century (great-grandparents time) because things get really interesting before that, amongst other things because Nationalism was a big thing then and it's when governments really tried to make a statement about This Is My Country and when many colonies gained independence. Before the 19th Century, the world as we know it now was completely different and the further back into the past you go, the stranger it gets.

Without leaving Europe, which is what I know better, Germany and Italy had what is called "the unification" in the second half of the 19th Century, which means that before that they weren't what they are now. In recent years, Germany also had the Federal Republic of Germany, which was technically another country which disappeard in 1987. And Yugoslavia became separate countries in 1992. So Yugoslav born singer Zdravko Colic is now Bosnian-Serbian. How would he answer to this? He didn't move. His country changed around him. And he is old, but think of all the 30-35 year-old people who were born in a different country. All the people who never left their native city and who have children born in a different country.

Africa has the before and after Western colonisation to thank for borders and countries and to also complicate this reply. Again, just in the 20th Century, because of colonies, some countries were what is now France, Portugal, UK or Spain. Maybe the status wasn't the same as being born in Europe, but still, a different country.

I don't know how Asia has been in this regard but I bet similar things apply with colonisation between them and then Europeans. Even America (understood as the whole continent, North and South, not just the US) was changing borders up until the 19th Century.

If you go to before the 16th Century, which is when Western colonisation really began to change the shape of the world, it gets even more fun. This would be between" "farther back but I do know when" and "too far back to remember". Without getting into colonies, Spain as a country was formed in the 16th Century. Before Christopher Columbus (and even during his lifetime), it was two separate kingdoms united by the mariage of the king and queen who agreed to send Columbus to America. And that was more or less the looks of everywhere around the time.

And now we reach the difference between "too far back to remember" and "indigenous". Polynesian people remember when they went to certain places, when they reached mainland here and there for thousands of years. Europeans do not. Polynesians are indigenous and Europeans aren't. However, even Europe has indigenous people (because of all the mess with countries and borders).

Many people can actually answer to both of these. The poll assumes that, unless you are indigenous, you are an inmigrant, except indigenous people also travel and migrate and non-indigenous people also stay in the same place. Indigenous is a thing completely unrelated to migration.

There is also the succint assumption (bias, if you will) that people only migrate willingly. Sure, it can be a choice you make for the sake of your family, for a job, for safety and whatnot (how "willingly" that is, it's up to the person), but there is a moment in history when many people were migrated forcibly, so to say, as they were kidnapped and made into slaves.

In short... it's one of those post that feels a bit too white US.

Empress Market name after Queen Victoria, Empress of India. The market was constructed at a well-chosen site that was clearly visible from a great distance. The site of the market had historical significance as it was situated on the grounds where a number of native sepoys were executed in a ruthless fashion after the Indian Uprising of 1857 (The Mutiny of 1857). Accounts mention that the sepoys had their heads blown off by cannonballs in an attempt to suppress any mutinous feelings among the locals. #slaughter #house #history #empress #market #prepartition #culture #potd #Karachi #street #photography #photographer #instagood #instadaily #pakistan #pakistaniblogger (at Empress Market)

watching the tensions between india and pakistan rise as they exchange nuclear war threats

It would be ‘mistake’ for India to view Pakistan with a pre-partition eye: Prez Alvi

Islamabad: It would be a “mistake” for India to check out Pakistan with the eye of pre-partition and its motivation for peace must not be misconstrued as a indicator of weak spot, President Arif Alvi explained on Saturday as Islamabad exhibited its armed service could possibly on the Countrywide Day.

Alvi was addressing the annual Pakistan Working day Parade right here to commemorate the resolution handed by the All-India Muslim League on the working day in 1940 in Lahore demanding a independent region for Muslims.

The National Day showcased a joint parade by the military, air drive and navy, show of military services hardware, along with open and veiled anti-India rhetoric.

“It was the duty and duty of Pakistan to reply to the Indian aggression… We responded with better tactic,” Alvi claimed, apparently referring to the downing of an Indian Air Drive jet.

Alvi claimed India’s actions jeopardised peace in the area.

“It would a oversight on aspect of India to view Pakistan with the eye of pre-partition. Carrying out so would be incredibly unsafe for the region’s balance.

“India will have to take Pakistan as a fact, and it must occur to the conclusion that dialogue is the only way to take care of issues,” Alvi reported at the ceremony where Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad was the visitor of honour.

He stated Pakistan would like tranquil co-existence but its “desire for peace ought to not be misconstrued as weakness”.

“We are a peaceful nation, but are not oblivious to our defence, and the exact has been proved in the current demonstration of Pakistan’s defence capability,” he mentioned, including that Pakistan is a liable nuclear condition and respects integrity and sovereignty of other states.

Alvi explained the country is harmless and relocating on the route of development and growth just after properly combating the menace of terrorism.

The president also inspected the parade in advance of his handle.

Contingents, paratroopers and fighter jets from Azerbaijan, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, China, Bahrain and Sri Lanka also took component in the parade.

Shahper and Buraq drones were also shown in the parade alongside with distinct missile devices like Nasr, Babur, Shaheen 1, Ghuri, Shaheen 111 amid some others, and defence units as very well as tanks.

The working day dawned with 31-gun salute in the federal money and 21-gun salute in provincial capitals.

Special prayers were also presented in mosques right after early morning prayers for the country’s development and prosperity.

Com en els darrers cursos, aquesta vegada conjuntament amb l’Institut Maestrat de Sant Mateu, i en el marc de les activitats del PCEE un nodrit grup d’alumnes ha assistit a presenciar el partit Vila-real, Leganés de La Liga Santander.

El resum del que hem vist, segons TV3 i La Liga és el següent:

VÍDEO I NOTICIA DEL PARTIT.

Nosaltres però, una mica aliens la majoria a la dinàmica de la competició, hem fet un centenar de quilometres per altres raons més enllà de la competició lliguera.

Al final de partit, anant cap al bus molts m’han preguntat si m’havia agradat el partit ? Potser condicionats per les informacions prepartit:

En aquest entorn alguns es mostraven decebuts pel partit i sobretot pel resultat (esperaven allò que era previsible). Justament això, és el que els he dit que m’havia agradat com a professor. També, com a futbolero, he afegit que m’ha agradat molt l’actuació de Roque Mesa, el 6 del Leganés crec que ha estat determinant.

A la segona resposta he trobat moltes coincidències, però la primera els ha semblat una broma.

I no ho era en absolut, m’ha semblat molt educatiu veure en directe com un equip desauciat o considerat inferior a priori  ha superat als suposats aspirants a Europa. Era real a priori que hi havia 18 punts de diferència, però és una bona lliçó veure i com ho han fet. Que de poc valen les estadístiques que el que compta és el que es fa, en aquest cas al camp, l’actitud, l’ambició, la voluntat, la cooperació i coordinació d’esforços o fins i tot “en futbol”: la potser una mica  exagerada picardia.

Espero que ara ho entenguin, i s’ho apliquin com a estudiants. De res serveix el que s’ha fet abans, cal esforçar-se i rendir a cada moment, i si mirem a l’altra banda mai confiar-se o sentir-se superior sense demostrar-ho (als euroaspirants els ha passat una mica).

Com que estic fent una contracrònica hi ha un aspecte de la sortida que també m’ha cridat l’atenció:

A la sortida del camp ens hem creuat amb una part de l’afecció del Leganés (contents, sorollosos i un punt exaltats) si no eren radicals poc els faltava. M’ha semblat útil haver-nos creuat, ja que constatar la seva existència i comportament em sembla útil. Sobretot per l’actitud i la forma en que se’ls miraven els alumnes.

Ni una sola paraula o gest en relació al grup.

Mirades d’incomprensió i comentaris entre ells de desaprovació (seran ultres? Es preguntaven entre ells).

I en general incomprensió per les actituds, a molts crec que els han resultat ridículs.

A mi com a professor em serveix per contrastar aquests comportaments amb el seus, que espero serveixi de mostra que hi ha maneres i maneres de viure i veure l’espectacle esportiu i l’esport en general.

A més d’aquests dos destacats (és el meu punt de vista), hi ha aspectes d’altres edicions de la sortida que també han estat presents:

https://educaciofisicapep.wordpress.com/2019/02/03/alcanar-vila-real/

Sense un petit recull fotogràfic no seria una bona crònica, a continuació un resum de la sortida en imatges:

El desplaçament, la prèvia del partit fora i dins del camp, el partit amb VAR en directe i el final del partit.

JO JA HE FET LA MEVA CRÒNICA, ARA US TOCARÀ A VOSALTRES, VOLUNTÀRIAMENT US OFERIRÉ LA POSSIBILITAT DE QUE FEU LA VOSTRA.

LA MEVA PREGUNTA SERÀ: QUÈ US HA CRIDAT L’ATENCIÓ DE LA SORTIDA ?

PAKISTAN

PAKISTAN. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, with a population of 122.8 million (1993 estimate), is the second largest Muslim nation in the world. Although they belong to five distinct ethnic groups-Punjabi, Sindhi, Pathan, Baluch, and Muhajirs (Urdu-speaking immigrants from prepartition India)-the overwhelming majority (97 percent) of Pakistanis are Muslims. NonMuslim minorities include…
