While our leaders including Prime Minister , Chief of Army Staff , ISPR Spokes person and Foreign Minister Just to name few, are busy in making counter statements regarding allegations of USA thrown our way , I have started to wonder on which side we are . Our WESTERN FRIENDS have serious doubts on our loyalty and our illegitimate progeny is no more under our control so a question arises : Are we ally to anyone or its just all lies .
Walk through the shady areas of history reveals that we are not actually victims of the situation as we acclaim. The present dead locks between two tearing forces is the direct result of our own selfish policy which included everything but patriotism . Our pseudo intellectuals on talk shows always point towards the cold war as the only reason resulting the friction between the two poles and we are entrapped due to our strategic geological position . But time has proved it another lie.
I asked a friend other day , who happens to be a health policy maker in public health sector : To eradicate a disease do we have to kill the vector or the organism responsible for disease ? His answer was quite clear : A Vector .
Since 1948 , our leadership and establishment have been vector to all major events. All the way from Kashmir war to Afghan insurgent . We proudly prove ourselves to be the sole executing agency of west and left overs of cold war . We proudly provided all the world fertile grounds for their global scale experiments and never realized the cost which was nothing but National Pride.
Our leaders condemn all terrorist activities in the country while do nothing about all the terrorist training facilities flourish in different parts of Pakistan . We show strong sentiments on drone attacks but keep silent on the fact that they fly from basses within Pakistan . For how long we will believe in the policy of neutrality which by no means in less than immorality . One of the former Governors during Bhuto regimen explained the philosophy of leadership in Pakistan: South East Asians are emotional people so to be a leader means someone understanding their emotions and then exploit them . Thats what our leadership from grass root level to the very top does.
So the time has come to realize this fact that we have no friends but masters . Either in form of Terrorists living and flourishing in our country as a parasite which we proudly nourish and secure , or in the form of our western friends. We have to come out of our so called miserable state as a Nation and have to make only one ally and that is ourselves rest are not allies but all lies .
Pakistan Zinda Baad

ReplyDeleteAll Lies! Love the title. Well it's easier to consider yourself a victim and then whine about it because accepting the fact that one himself is the reason for his misery would mean one will have to work to rectify his mistakes. And the policy of neutrality will continue until we miraculously grow a spine and that doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon. We have to, we must, we should...it's always easier said than done :)
ReplyDeleteBut then again like martin luther said we must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope..So yeah as bad and as sorry our halaat are we gotta keep hoping for happier times.
ReplyDeleteExactly if one realises , he has to rectify the mistake which demands some prompt action which we don't want to do , so well said don't loose infinite hope
ReplyDeletehmmm....

ReplyDeletewell! that's a very cultivated dissertation, great work dr Shar :) But i don't think we can be of any help at this level, in particular I am not :/ and that's da reason evrybdy stay out of this which is amiss.
ReplyDeleteya i accept this fact that if we can do anything, we should do it. if i throw the empty juice can out of my car, my son will do the same when he'll be driving with his kid... so how can i expect a change in my country? so start is with minor and it will go to major! i teach kids of all maids in my street and this is little try to change thinking of so many. same is that, the politics were the same as they were 60 years before...but why we the nation is not going good? bcz we are forgetting moral values at our own level. gather them, start from your home...and we can do it.
ReplyDelete@syed Annie .. Well I think we can be of much help at this level , Chee was younger than you , Qadafi was younger than you , Mendela was younger than you .. and list goes on , good or bad but these men changed the events and whole time line . so lets find a way .. cleaning mess means dirty hands so lets not be afraid from getting our hands dirty and try to think ways of making difference .........
ReplyDelete@ Maggie .... exactly thats the whole point .. we all must do which is in our power , no one gona do it from outside but we .. and no generation but ours , lets start from smaller things to bigger decisions . I appreciate your efforts
ReplyDeleteyaar lagta hai tension lay gaye ho tum saray ? ;)
ReplyDeleteEthics, integrity and moral values are the things which are needed for any nation to be respected by others. We lack all of these. We keep on condemning our politicians for their wrong deeds but we never try to correct ourselves. Criticising other is far easier than correcting ourselves...
ReplyDeleteGood post and very nice title!
