Making Pakistan A Vibrant & Progressive Nation



Don't we disagree with our politicians, intellectuals, scholars and anchor persons who grade our society as sharp, able, progressive, non-violent, resilient and wise just to sell their products?

The selection of public representatives is the touch-stone to measure the depth of the wisdom of our people. It is as simple as that we shall not appoint a person in any capacity unless we are thoroughly satisfied with his character traits, capabilities, qualification, professional approach and mental bend. While undergoing the process of electing representatives, do we follow the same principles?

Plainly, we as a whole are a nothing more than a junk of individuals filled of egocentricity, dishonesty, bribery, communal misconducts and mentally-ill who are burying the social values.

We think that the objectives of progressive and vibrant society could be achieved by more spending on education, health and social infrastructure, spreading road, rail networks and facilitating foreign investment etc. Well these are secondary things that robotically materialize once you build a honest, well-bred and high moral values based society.

Do understand! The character building of children is founded in the lap of a mother and groomed in the institutions so that they could contribute to the society not to just seek a degree, earn money and die.

Don’t we berate even slap a child when he steals, lies or cheats? What is nature of these crimes? Social! Isn’t? Then why don’t us as parents enquire or monitor our children how they earn, how they behave and how they approach when they are grown up and dive into the professional river.

Again the truth is bitter! Same parents who have been slating and punishing the children for their evil acts during childhood latter urge them to changeover, terming it this is need of the time. How hypocrite are we!

The consequences have to be horrendous as are! It is all okay and fine as far as you are gaining, flourishing and getting rich … mixing water in milk … lying to save your skin … selling products by deception … suppressing the weakest and flattering the powerful … weighing tactics … and what not!

But we need Rulers who are pious, kind, dedicated and dutiful expecting them to provide secure, bright and booming future for our children who ought to be obedient and caring to parents till they demise!

The lust to bag too much amenities is required to be ceased as it instigates to undertake undue means and pounds aggression and depression.

When the youth assumes that money and power are the only parameters to glorify, they are urged to thinking beyond the status and using vicious illegal paraphernalia to boost their economic strength to identify their authority in the society.

We must make them realize that each human is distinctive and respectable so there is a need to strive for the people below our ranks enabling them to pull their life carts too. A comprehensive, composite and sustainable pacifism approach could pave the way to reach the national goals.

A part of these all, the most of the pragmatic and matter-to-fact tool to erect the society is to ensure the rule of law. Writ of law followed by Justice irrespective the status, position and wealth must be transparent and powers should be derailed in the court of law.

This is highly imperative as otherwise the aggrieved party, due to not justice fading away, might repel and in the process of dismay might fall in the enmity subsequently taking the law in own hands. With the expansion of such circumstances, the peace and stability in the society would indubitably cracked ensuing in a major debacle.

The state of affairs figures awfully grave when appointments on merit are negated; powers are exploited to cherish personal gains and the imposition of regressive taxes and depriving people of basic needs. Such a picture could blow up the nation and could trigger a course of anarchy and chaos amongst nation.

Last but not least, we ought to teach our children to hate the hatred thoughts, learn to live with the opinion differences with greatest extent of serenity, fortifying endurance, attending violent behaviors and taking measures to prevent depredations. The kids of modern days being more resilient and more observant can realize these factors and would definitely support to dig the confronted evils out of the society.

These few little but effective strides would unleash a slow though penetrative effect process to build a constructive, tolerable and triad generation which would be highly consequential to deriving a progressive, vibrant nation.

Is Pakistan Image SO Fragile?



These are some of the few repentant words we all have been hearing, reading or listening since long through both print and electronic media from the supposed intellectuals, politicians and think tanks inside and outside the country.

Ø Pakistan image has been tarnished;
Ø This act conveyed a terrible image of Pakistan to the world ;
Ø He has dampened the moderate, liberal image of Pakistan.

How utter nonsense is this that someone committed a crime, Pakistan Image dented, someone deceived somebody, Pakistan Image thrashed, someone fixed a match, Pakistan Image crashed ... absolutely ludicrous!

Another facet is that if such an episode occurs outside Pakistan, the whole so called human rights activists, civil society, media houses, anchors and all others alike immediately start yelling @ Pakistan as the rest world is cleansed of crimes and sadly we the general public foolishly follow their thoughts blindly.

A person departs abroad and stays illegal where does Pakistan came in from, a person selected on the basis of his sport skills and indulges in misconduct or match/spot fixing what Pakistan got to do with that? A little group of people execute a terrorist attack somewhere else involving none from Pakistan but hundreds of thousands of kids, women, men and law enforcing agencies recruits are torn in pieces in Pakistan, fear penetrated in even schools and mosques, economic meltdown suffering a developing country with reportedly US $100 billion, and rubbishy all is talked about the image of Pakistan!

Aren’t we all fed up watching a group of certain ‘philosophers’ on TV channels who just wait some incidence to occur so they could contribute their ‘intellectual thoughts’ to bashing Pakistan for hours and perish till another event of their choice crops up?

Most certainly, no one can defend the culprits and bringing them to justice but didn’t you ever hear any type of such kind of crimes or incidents happening in any other parts of the world?

Put aside developed part of the world, have we ever heard someone from even the countries like Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Nigeria, Bangladesh that their image has been flogged by the acts of some individuals or small group of terrorists?

It sounds okay that the people abroad are the ambassadors of our country and governments should take initiatives not letting evils to sabotage others’ peace but do the whole felonies emerge from a single region? Come on, criminals cannot be restricted to boundaries, regions or countries as they carry the filth in their brains beyond geographical demarcation.

Are the jails of other countries even the developed ones are vacant or the crime percentage to population is too tiny to be ignored?

Well you are more sophisticated and highly technological countries, invent a brain scanner so haul the intentions from brains so at least your lands could be declared crime free!

Perhaps it shapes more embarrassment when we ourselves deem the liability of such individuals and make a fuss to lead own debase. If we are so worried about our image why don’t we espouse or strive for a system wherein our political parties, government departments, corporate sector, administrative and general bodies could evolve?

Flipside is that there is a political disaster, economic meltdown, administration deficiency, responsibilities delusion and most importantly disappeared justice and honesty then how to build a healthier and stronger Pakistan?

Just don’t always blame the governments; take initiatives on individual, collective and community levels. Counter inner evils/self interests and advise the youngsters to stick to what they been taught during academic tenure rather than switching over to just “money by any means” rail in profession.

The lessons are meant to be learnt not just to converse but to proactively taking on a steady progressive approach to future with clear and sincere intentions. Sooner rather than latter, INSHA ALLAH, the world would be discussing and following Pakistan to glitter themselves.
