If I talk about Pakistan I will be labeled a cynic. I think you already know my nationality.
I know about a Pakistan, the only people who hated it were the cricket lovers of India, and the Hindu fundamentalists. And those were the happy days of yesteryear.
And, I now know of a Pakistan. The same Pakistan my children will know of unless something extraordinary happens, unless someone intervenes. And, the only being left to intervene now is God Almighty. Everyone else have tried their luck and ruined the territory to its very core. Also, the very same Pakistan who is hated by it’s own people and it’s own citizens.
Or probably this is not the same Pakistan any longer. Nor the same people neither the same citizens.
That Pakistan died. It got killed the day these loathsome human beings were born.
That Pakistan of peace and tranquility is a thing of the past.
The past is described as “The conglomerate of events that happened in a certain point in time” Now all I have to ask is, has that ‘certain point of time’ truly gone? Is it never going to come back?

I seriously hope not. Pakistan is such a beautiful country with a kick-ass culture! What astounds me, is how successful media has become in transmitting all that hate to the present generation too. None of us have been at the partition or the throngs of Indo-Pak war, but still we are injected with a need to hate Pakistan, and we fall for it at times!! I hope Pakistan will rise above the mulch and be a proud country once again, and India will stop bullying it! It's terrible that a country is bullied because a bunch of losers decided to partition it!
ReplyDeleteVery true.
ReplyDelete@Aisibi No offence buddy but that "Loser" you're talking about happens to be Mohd. Ali Jinnah..and he, my friend, was a great man! all he wanted was a country where muslims could live without any fear of being killed, without the fear of being slaughtered during namaz,a country where hate would be a word found only in history books! This is not the Pakistan he dreamed of. India-Pakistan may not be in awesome terms, but frankly speaking India is not really responsible for all thats happening in Pakistan.. and the only people that bully pakistan are pakistani's themselves....
ReplyDeletePakistan is definitely a beautiful country with same kind of ethos we people in the subcontinent live with, a society of community oriented people that believe that every action's virtue is valued at it's long term effectiveness. (why do terrorists blow themselves up? For their entry into paradise which would be the very pinnacle of long term thought).
ReplyDeleteI cannot say the same about Mohammed Ali Jinnah though. He was a very skilled man and a great orator. But it can be ascertained without a hint of a doubt that he lived and loved his English lifestyle. So then why the partition, the very event that resulted in mass displacement and deaths at a large scale. We can definitely argue both it's idea and effectiveness years down. Did the two nation theory and it's ultimate goal deliver? I think the moment Jinnah realized that he was out of the running for leading a free India he patronized with the two nation theory, purely for his own political motives, and a mass that was uneducated across the board didn't know better. Why was Nehru preferred above Jinnah by Gandhi no one can ever say, because both of them very greatly skilled and possessed of leading a free nation.
The key in both nations is education, to make people think using their intellect, rather than be influenced by hogwash dished out in vast quantities. I think that is where India pulled its weight. We somehow managed to educate more people and have them less influenced by propaganda. And certainly it will be the key factor for the future as well. The more you manage to educate people the more stable you see a particular nation. Hence India has almost 165 million Muslims and yet less of them die in a calendar year as compared to Pakistan though their opportunity in a secular society will be debated for years.
Like someone said, religion is not poison, propaganda is, and the realization and the spread of that is detrimental to both the nation's future.
Sahaar..
ReplyDeleteI am unaware of the country called Pakistan, for a reason I have never visited nor known that country from a close angle. So i wouldn't comment on that. But I surely could comprehend the emotions articulated in your post and I appreciate the expression of it such a great approach.
