Why Yahweh Became the World's Dominant Deity
Why bother comparing the god of the Bible to a god of an older, previous dead religion from Mesopotamia? The reasons involve another deity that hits closer to home for the ancient Israelites. That deity is Ba'al. Ba'al was one of the chief deities of the Canaanite religion, and this religion was the precursor to Yahwism and Judaism. Canaanites and Israelites are genetically linked and at some point, a group migrated away from Canaan to found Israel and Judah. It’s reasonable to conclude that they took the myths of Canaan along with them, evident by their worship of the Canaanite pantheon early on.

Ethnicity
Pakistan is home to many ethnic groups which include Punjabis, Sindhis, Pashtuns and Baloachs among others. While there are many examples of cooperation and coexistence between these groups, there also have been instances of tensions and conflicts. Some of the root causes of these issues include economic disparities, political marginalization and cultural differences. Addressing these issues will require a multifaced approach that involves promoting understanding and tolerance, investing in education and job opportunities and building strong institutions that are accountable to all the people. Education can help promote understanding and tolerance among different ethnic groups, while job opportunities can provide people with a sense of purpose and belonging. Additionally it is important to have strong leaders who are committed to promote peace and reconciliation. Investing in infrastructure can also help promote economic development and reduce inequality between different regions. For example, building roads and bridges can help connect people and buisnesses in different parts of the country, while improving access to basic services like healthcare and education can help reduce disparities between ethnic groups. Finally it is important to have strong institutions that are accountable to the people and can help ensure that everyone is treated fairly and justly. However it is also important to consider that the heroes of these ethinies should also be given respect. The people of the respective culture should be given this right who to study? And why are they keen to study that hero? Ethinies should be set free to study about there own heroes and the state should also stop itself to naming, announcing and proving there heroes as rogues. This will be a huge bench mark and will surely shift the mindset of the people especially Pashtuns and Baloachs. Lastly, every of the ethiny should be free when it comes to celeberate their culture.Approximately, 80% of states are multiethnic, meaning that no ethnic group dominates the society. Ethnic conflict has been one of the world’s most common sources of warfare, insecurity, and loss of life. According to the Minorities at Risk database, 121 ethnic conflicts occurred between 1945 and 2003. Some 40% of conflicts started after 1990. Since 1955, ethnic conflicts have killed between 13 million and 20 million civilians an in addition to this resulted in 14 million internationally recognised refugees and about 17 million internally displaced persons.Ethno-linguistic movements have a range of goals mostly political in orientation. These ends, inter alia, include demands for self-governance, autonomy, better access to resources and power and respect for the group’s identity and culture. Ethnic conflict arises if ethnic groups compete for the same goals — power, access to resources, or territory. The conflict in Balochistan is a typical case in point. A recent precendent of cultural unawareness is the visit of Pakistan's foreign minister to India where he joined his hands to greet with Indian Minister of external affairs. The people of Pakistan trolled it on social media considering it a relegious deed. But they had no idea about the 7000 years history of Indus Valley Civilization where the Hindus and Muslims lived together and now surprisingly what people wants from Sindhis to avoid their culture of 7000 years to absorb 75 years of so-called independence. This is exactly what happens in a Pakistani province KPK. Pakistani Pashtuns and Afghan people has a cultural history of 5000 years and if someone post himself or signify himself as Afghan, h is termed as Afghan Nationalist. So, the point basically is that there is very minute awareness of culture in Pakistan. People usually do not have appropriate knowledge of culture. There should be and must be proper campaign that should train and teach people to digest ethnies and their cultures, by following this Pakistan can surely sort its many of the obstacles.
