August 14, 2009 Celebrations : Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

As 14th august is coming close, the Pakistani spirits are awakening. So i thought why not enlighten the patrioitic spirits with some of the bitter reality our nation is facing.

Yes we are all proud Pakistanis and will love our country till death no doubt. But the question is are we willing to do anything for our beloved country, for which the love is expressed every 14th august. We are all smart, we all have a decent i.q level, and intelligent enough to slap a thief who reaches our front pocket while we are concious. So where does the intelligence, the love, the patriotism goes when it comes to our country, that gave us our identity? other then on 14th august.

When i turn on Paki news channel all these questions pop in my mind, is this the country i lived in for 9 years? is that really true? can people be that insane? can the government be that cold-hearted?

As per a survey, Asia has 70% of child labor, which includes Pakistan, india, bangladesh, nepal, sri lanka. There are laws against child labor in Pakistan,
but are they being enforced? i still see 8 -10 year olds driving rickshaws, or gadha garis. 2 crore of pakistan children are uneducated, going through child labor, and UNDER THE USE OF DRUGS!!! yes 2 crore, in pakistan, under the age of 16 not 18 are working to support families, and uses some sort of Drug(cocaine, weed, alcohol, heroine).

in the year of 2007, december, i visited Pakistan. On the day of benazir’s assisnation i was attending a wedding. When the news was heard, the nikah ceremony was hurried due to the news. I MEAN IN VILLAGE. Im still curious owhat Benefit benazir really had on the village, as per the shape it was in. So on the way back to the city, the roads were empty, shops closed, and a groud of people burning tires on the middle of the roads, firing in air, and breaking anything that comes in their wa, be it cars, or glass doors, shops, buses.Who benefited from it? the people who saved every penny to run their family hacing to pay fir their broken goods? is there no better way to mourn a dead leader? other then causing the public harm? no peaceful way to strike?

People in pakistan are complaining about the predisent Asif Ali Zardari, and his reckless actions. But why? Arent they the ones that voted for PPP in pity of Benazir’s assasin? Were emotions playing a role there? Well since he is already selected, why not demand our rights? WHy not keep a check on them?

Just recently, Pak was given fund of 23 crore US DOLLARS! convert that to rupees and you get the picture. So where are the funds being spent on? on the high security of leaders? or the education of their kids studying abroad? or the weekly supply of wine for dinner?

IS it just me or was the money suppose to be spent on education, healthcare, safetly of the pakistani public? Who is keeping a check on the treasury of Pakistan?

9 crore of Pakistani public, 90% of pakistan have cellular facilty, and are using it. So out of all the technologies, this what the nation really required? 16/24 hours there is no electricty, and cellular phones where a neccesity?

Pakistan soi gas kay liye famous hay worldwide, and 60% of the nation cooks on wood fire. SO we are denied the facility we are known for. 55% of familes live on maximum of 2$ a day!!! SO loadshedding, poverty, terrorism, drone attacks, lack of health care, education. Our issues these days. Yes every country has issues but they resolve them, while we drag ourself into them as much as possible it seems.

I am sorry to say , it is not even the government, it is the public who wears a blindfold on stupidly. ITs the public that dont question, demand, and fight for their rights.

Is this the Pakistan, the ISLAMIC REPUBLIC JINAAH dreamed of? Is it the government we wanted that shamelessly sits infront of Jinaah’s picture, and steps on publics’s rights? is this what we wanted our country to be? Will it ever get any better? will our kids, and grandkids ever be proudly be able to say “IM PAKISTANI”?

Its time for an awakening, and we all need to step up.
PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

***Until corruption in the higher echelons of power is not wiped out and people like Zardari , Nawaz Sharif , Altaf Hussain and Fazlur -Rehman etc... rule the roost there is no hope for Pakistan. These people have bled Pakistan of its resources , the monetary funds that are sent to sustain and pay off debts go into their Swiss bank accounts rather than towards improving the plight of the poor and needy ;Pakistan has been slowly striped of its identity as an independant and strong nation and crippled by its leaders through generations now.

We are celebrating 14th August but none of us truly work towards ridding the nation of these leeches instead a few speeches , fireworks and taking to the street as hooligans and we all go home feeling "patriotic".

These "leaders" need to be forced out not only from their positions but from the country and a new , younger generation of political leaders needs to take control of our country because as we stand now , we are on the brink of anarchy !***

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

Our Awaam needs to wake up and kick this US puppet government out, we must unite.....and Pakistanis living abroad must help Pakistan in this difficilt time, afterall its our responsibilty right?

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

To be honest Zardari, Nawaz, Altaf, Musharaf, Rehman Malik and the rest should all be shot in head at least 3 times and LIVE videos should be broadcasted in each & every news channel. This will be wake up call for those who are follwing their path and they will all soon come to senses.

We must stand up and tell US to F off , we dont need their help, their AID can go to hell and so can their so called War on Terror.

Sounds a bit harsh but we to take such steps in order to Pakistan to the right path. And also we Pakistani sitting abroad must help our nation in this crisis

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

A revolution is needed and that can only done by students if they think of Pakistan than only thinking of those books. I am not saying they should forget their studies but they should learn to live in real world too.

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

i believe that what sheyn above said was completely correct. until corruption is not conquered pakistan will not progress forwards. i mean it now has a worse economy than bangladesh!
we need fresh politicians, who are just not from the rich usual families, who no nothing about politics.

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

Only one thing can sort this nation out ... bringing back capital punishment for corruption .... and then creating a strong judiciary and watch them all come in line ..

Re: yeh mera pakistan hai?

Ok so it was all rant, but where are the solutions and people who will implement them. Let me quote you something from my book.

Political process requires motivation and perseverance more than special skills or extraordinary resources

I think this sentence says it all. Our so called 'educated elites' like to sit in their comfortable houses and only talk about change but when it comes to moving back and actually doing it, than they have 1000 excuses to not to do so. There is no one to blame but ourselves. If brain of a body doesn't want to fix the body than we can't blame body for that, and yea that IS the bitter reality.

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

Awaam follow the leaders. The corrupt leadership that we always had and its getting corrupt and corrupt. I cant think of a solution but awam is not to blame for this

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

good job, nice effort.

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

you know even the public in Pakistan has mentally accepted that corruption is part of their lives and they have found ways to live with it ... this is very wrong .. I often hear words from friends saying "government jobs are all about corruption , sub paisa mangte hei" ... and I feel so sad , that these monkeys are so openly eating us up , yet there is not a soul that can stop them , no one the in the whole of paksitan can stop them .. not even the Chief justice , who we the nation fought so much for ... we brought him back as our hope and nothing is happening , he is earning his money and forgotten the nation that stood behind him ...

why can he not help the rest of the nation wipe out the crazy corrupt politicians , all of them .. why cant he put a ban on all TV stations to barr interviewiing such idiots ...and lots more ..

PS .. beware of this new puppy they are raising , bilalwal bhutto , his grandfather, mother, father and now him and his pathetic future generation , they wont let go of power , please we as a generation shouldnt allow any of these seeds of corruption come into power ... they have been raised out of pakistan , thats where they should stay ... for ever .

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

Pakistan , where is this country on the planet earth .... hey i so wana go there :)

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

you don't need to go on planet earth just google world map you won't miss pakistan more

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

Naabigh just try to come out of Pro American / Indian media. you will find a lot of countries.

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

the first thing is that Pakistan really needs new leaders. All the current ones should be kicked out.

There is a lot of corruption in Pakistan and like chicken biryani has said the people really accept their situation and do nothing.

I think it is time that our awam should wake up from their sleep and do something.

And i just pray to allah keh woh Pakistan ki hifazat karain.

To change the leaders and end the corruption in Pakistan we need to change the system.When there are no laws or you can say there are so many loop holes in the law that no one gets caught and everyone can do whatever he wants to do then there is a problem in system.We should have a stabilize system where everyone can get caught and punished for their wrong doings then may be things start to get better in Pakistan.We need to privatise every bussiness so people can think thats their money and they take care of it well.Otherwise people will always use government's allownce as "maal-muft, dil-ebe raham" which they are already doing.
We reallyt need to change the system to get good results.
Pakistan Zindabad

Re: Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING AND GIVING IT A THOUGHT YOU GUYS. I HOPE WE CAN ALL WORK TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION, AND PLAY OUR ROLE. YES WE NEED A REVOLUTION, AN INQUILAAB. WE NEED TO SPREAD THE WORD TO THE LESS EDUCATED, AND LESS AWARE OF THE SITUATION IN PAKISTAN. WE NEED TO ORGANIZE THE LITTLE PIECES THAT MADE US ONE, AND PUT THEM ALL BACK TOGETHER. IF YOU CANT DO MUCH, THEN ATLEAST WE CAN HELP TRUSTS LIKE BILQUIS EDHI, OR SAHARA TRUST, AND MANY MORE THAT ARE MAKING AN EFFORT TO DO SOMETHING FOR THE COUNTRY. REST WE SHOULD ATLEAST PLAY SOME KIND OF ROLE IN THE POLITCS, TO CONTROL THE CORRUPTION. INSHALLAH OUR COUNTRY WILL BE AT ITS HEIGHTS.

PAKISTAN ZINDABAD!

Re: August 14, 2009 Celebrations : Yeh Mera Pakistan Hai ?

we all should wake up and realise our responsibilities, we always dump the consequences of various things on politicans, its the people who rule the country not four or five jokers. we should stand up and be counted. work harder, with honesty abroad as most of the times we defamed our country with our actions, cant we just make people love us when they see our green passport. be united, keep faith and act disciplined. we shall excel in all fields inshaallah
