Even a little self-interest would tell you people not to demonize the group that ya'll need to attract some significant level of support form so as to prevail.

 

An Indian who votes for the PPP is not automatically an Honorary Brown Member of the KKK. He has an absolute right to his vote. Same goes for a Black person who wants to vote PNC.

 

In the same vein, it is just as reprehensible to label any Indian who chooses to support the Coalition. It is this absolute and unquestioned right.

 

The campaign waged against the ordinary Indian is vile. He's either a neemakharam daag or an unredeemable dalit racist. Shame there isn't a third choice anymore so they can vote against you both.

Well said Shaits; but you're missing one thing. It IS in the PPP's interest to maintain this narrative of the coolie being vilified either way. That's its only hope to get a majority of them to not only vote for it but5 turn out in greater percentage than the other ethnic groups.
