It's actually a term of ethic pride, almost equivalent to Volk, and would certainly be pounced upon as racist supremacy if it had white origins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Choudhary_Rahmat_Ali "'Pakistan' is both a Persian and an Urdu word. It is composed of letters taken from the names of all our Indian Sub-continent homelands; that is, Panjab, Afghanistan (Pashtunistan), Kashmir, Sindh (including Kach and Kathiawar), Tukharistan, Afghanistan, and Balochistan. It means the land of the Paks- the spiritually pure and clean. It symbolizes the religious beliefs and ethnical stocks of our people; and it stands for all the territorial constituents of our original Fatherland. It has no other origin and no other meaning; and it does not admit of any other interpretation. Those writers who have tried to interpret it in more than way have done so either through the love of casuistry, or through ignorance of its inspiration, origin and composition." John,

Thought you might be interested in an explanation of origins of “Paki” and “Pakistan”. It’s actually a term of ethic pride, almost equivalent to Volk, and would certainly be pounced upon as racist supremacy if it had white origins.

The conversation continued from there, but I really didn't hear a decent argument (or any argument at all) defending the belief that the term is inherently racist. Language isn't an end in itself; it points to meaning (the meaning and intent of the speaker). That's the only relevant factor. :-) Liam, appreciate that.

Right on the money mate. The fearful response of fearful, pathetic, cringing dullards is worthy of all contempt and opprobrium that thinking people can muster. Fair play to you John. John,
