Mere Jaan Pakistan

Image
Whenever I read about Pakistan, a negative perception gets strong hold. Pakistan is becoming Denialistan whose citizens do not accept their faults- are either label it as conspiracy of other state and religions or quick to justify them by pointing out similar failings of other states. Whether it is 'Talibanistaion' of society to 'Match fixing scandal' of the cricketers, the events unfolding are taking Pakistan towards downward spiral path. The liberal institutions of democracy, scientific thinking and secularism are failing while attack on Sufi Shrines has been destroying local belief system of tolerance and brotherhood. The terms “Hang the Traitor” and “Burn the corrupt” are becoming common in the public. With destruction of infrastructure in recent floods, this chaos is working in the favour of extremist who wants to impose their version of Sharia law. Recently released, the Brookings Institute report claims that the real cause of militancy in Pakistan is the publi...

Ask the dust

I loose my mind in a glimpse, Love with a blank head and open heart. In the time of the Butterflies, Dreams fly high up in the sky. She said - Forget your internal strife and your reason! Believe in destiny and I did. I was in the peace and a state of happiness. And I was only thinking that she did not ask for my life. "Why and what happens to me? " I quoted a prose to answer this mystery. "Ask the dust on the road and the falling leaves, ask the mysterious God of life; for no one knows such things." Then, I smiled. She gave me nothing, Yet, all worries she took away Only shared her presence for few moments. I thanked her out of sheer joy. She laughs at my dreams, I dream about her laughter. Within my heart, a secret blossoms where dreams may go.

The Bigger Picture

We need role models who can bravely give voice to what people had been wishing- but not daring to say for many a year. My intention Is not so much to ‘assess' the society and civilization in few words, but to understand what the our traditions might mean concretely to its protagonists. If you don’t know the why, you can forget about figuring out the how. A true questioning spirit is usually introspective in nature, not accusatory. Verified doubt is scientific and it lays the foundation for merit-based trust. The advantage of a questioning spirit is that it is the opposite of an inquisition. Huge majority of society have internalized the myth that the authority is capable — and willing — to solve to problem of poverty. This is one of the greatest binding assumptions that imprisons the development. To become free from this notion is hard because it is in the interest of those in authority and few in power to perpetuate these false beliefs. People, an individual changes the world f...
