A question... Why do tribal HAVE to stop being tribal?
s.
Just like kids have to quit wearing diapers after certain age,
human societies have to evolve.
Not to dwell on the theoretic side of social evolution, human societies pretty much evolve along the following lines.
- Tree dwelling primitives
- caveman
- Primitive family
- small tribes
- Large tribes
- Large tribes with Big Man the in-charge
- City states
- Nation states.
Tribals these days are pretty much stuck at #3, #4 and at most #5.
As a result they do not have modern organization like police, multi-level court system, bureaucracy, multi-level executive, and army etc.
And because they lack the modern systems, they get raped by every Tom, Dick, Harry, Abdullah, Saudi, and Libbi.
Nation states are not problem free, but they can at least make decisions to protect their citizens from
- Internal threats by using their police/army and multi level executive and court system
- external threats by aligning with the right kind of power blocks.
So for Pakistani tribes, it is time to live without diapers and grow up to become civilized and modern.
Otherwise they will make their areas like another Afghanistan, Somalia, Liberia, etc. etc. where people will live like animals being chased by one power or the other. Sadly!
