Pakistan is going through very difficult circumstances. The national institutions are in shambles and the people as a whole are not sure of the future. They have come to expect very little from the government but even then it has proven at most times to be expecting too much. Corruption is rife and most people just struggle to survive and get their bit dome by any means they can.
Things taken for granted in the developed world such as security, justice and a functional social system do not exist. more than half of the population cannot read and write. The gap between the huge poor majority and a very very rich but very small minority is so great, it has reached catastrophic levels. The mass ignorance and extreme poverty couple with the cultural and religious conservatism to provide the perfect powder keg for an anti-western in general and anti-Americanism in particular. Of course the continuous meddling in our national affairs by our western friends does not help their image as well. Considering Pakistan is also in possession of nuclear Weapons, it does not paint a pretty picture for all of us concerned.
For a country of 161 million people with more than 70 % of the population under 30, there are however unlimited potentials (both positive and negative).
The situation is so desperate that we need to launch a socio-political struggle to bring Pakistan back to its original path, the purpose that it was created for. The reason why millions lost their lives and the goal they envisaged for this country in 1947.
Pakistan was created to provide a country where everyone, irrespective of the religion, race,sex can live peacefully and practice equal rights.
This blog is my attempt to do my bit to raise awareness as what we as a nation should struggle for. I reckon we need the same attitude to rebuild this country as our forefathers had to create this country. If we sit back and do nothing, we will allow this country to disintegrate.
