I lived in Buckinghamshire for a few years with my kids.
My mom and I walked the high street of Aylesbury many times bumping into different types of Asians , different languages and religions.
On my last year in Buckinghamshire, my mom had just returned from Guinea Bissau, where she taught Maths at the high school level and during the evenings and weekends, she volunteered by visiting schools in remote areas.
Brave as she was, she visited a school and community in a remote area where she was only allowed to visit in a Burka. She bought one for 300 Euros and later regretted giving to someone as she would need it later.
During her visit to see me, she spoke to several Pakistani men and women selling in the streets and working in libraries in Buckinghamshire. They always spoke about her work outreaching to that remote Muslim community.
Education is such a delicate issue in communities who don't really need education as they depend on their natural resources and their women are vital in securing their children safety and wellbeing at home, that when you add Religion to the matter , the issue becomes even more delicate, leaning towards offensive and patronising when people want to impose their ideas of what is a fed mind and intellect to others .
Not all Pakistani in Buckinghamshire were nice, there are many horrible Pakistani who will teach their children to hate others, especially mixed race children or poor white children and take advantage of black children early introduction to cannabis use at home by their parents.
These Pakistani were not Pakistani two centuries ago and the reason for that is that their castes were either subjected to a caste system that excluded them or their caste was forced to prostitute themselves to British military and upper castes.
Not surprisingly, when members of both castes moved to Pakistan they adopted a fervours nationalism and identification with Pakistan because they could not feel comfortable looking at themselves in the mirror and seeing themselves for what they were as in the case of the second mentioned above, the levels of bastardising were quite high.
Identifying themselves with descendants of Khan invaders and portraying themselves as the Arab descendants in India and Pakistan is a far fetched picture from reality and what they really symbolise in terms of culture and capacity to live in western societies without fractioning with other Pakistani and Asian communities, and in terms of capacity to live a life without degrading women or trading people and drugs to acquire material goods.
Historically, the Indian migrants to Pakistan two centuries ago are not connected to the heroin lords of India when Indians controlled the heroin production before it shifted to Afghanistan; they were in fact in the extreme bottom of the caste system, but having more rights as time progressed and acquiring the Pakistani identity gave them a leverage in society which they used to access street money markets, shanty towns passport production and control over the human trafficking to Guiana, the Caribbean and South Africa.
Now not officially, the prostitutes of British soldiers, the vein to manage dark markets, human trafficking inclusively, legitimised itself in the Religion that allow them to escape such bondage, the Muslim Religion.
Historians tend to assert the fact that the Muslim Religion allowed them escape oppression, to achieve social climbing and to be a group to be looked upon by struggling oppressed Indians in India, but to me , what the Muslim Religion really did was to give them a false historical narrative in which they could strut Muslim names associated with the great Khan and deny the bastardization by White British troops.
They could justify their hate and attack for anything that was different, as this conflict would give them an assurance of their Pakistani identity when in reality they are only Pakistani because their great grandfathers migrated to Pakistan ; they could justify their beige skin with Khan names when in reality there is historical evidence based in DNA testing, that the real Khan descendants are very dark and top castes of India.
They can use their behaviour to justify everything , inclusively this false narrative , but they cannot use their behaviour to justify the historical role they had in smuggling people, in paying off people to sell their cousins and brothers to work under indentured contracts in Guiana or help them arranged marriages of "varnished Pakistani light skinned women ( Indian descendants bastardized with white British soldiers as was officially imposed into them) with Indian upper caste men looking to have light skinned children.
They cannot also justify their behaviour in creating friction between Pakistan communities and other communities in Britain. I am not a racist, so I cannot say if they were real Pashto, they would be good, I do not know that , though Pashto morals are quite good, what I can say is that to understand the white teenager trafficking rings in Buckinghamshire, the rise of the EDL and the white teenager trafficking rings nationwide , we have to acknowledge that history matters, specially the false narrative people convey to others without DNA evidence - without historical evidence.
Is not enough to sit in Costa Coffee speaking about how bad that top police officer using fake documents was because he was from Pakistan , is not enough to blame the Muslim culture when we know that prostitution and trojan horses in Catholic schools are not created by the Muslim Religion or white women who have their kids with Muslim men, but yes are created by a dehumanised belief that women are worst very little.
People trafficked to Uganda, South Africa, Guiana and other parts of the Caribbean have been involved in numerous projects of Oral History in the last two decades but there has not been a true accountability of the roles of human trafficking and expansion of these gangs of human trafficking to the UK and how they used the Muslim Religion not only to convey a new narrative about themselves but also about their true purposes in life : to get rich by committing crime rather than pursuing God.
Now that is Easter and that even the Jewish had their special day last month, we have to come together as Religions to outreach to local history projects in India and Pakistan to explore the nature of the migration of groups, so togetherness can mean more than sharing space in our society, but also finding the source of behaviours that sparked violence and led to the creation of groups like the EDL ( English Defence League) in Buckinghamshire in a time where was visible the high intense flux of vulnerable white teenagers sexual trafficking.
The right time is now, as with Easter we redeem, we forgive, and we look for a more humane way to love each other as Christians and as brothers of all men and women of all Religions.
