It's not just Karachi that's the problem. What about Islamabad? Lahore? etc.. We could move on to India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the list keeps going. It's not the corruption that is to blame nor is it the poor people. It all starts from the people who simply need to change there mindset and move about. You can't expect something from nothing but where you cannot invent you may atleast improve. The problem lies in our society because everyone wants to "ulu banaying" everyone else. From stores, to businesses, hospitals, cabs, even the poor who beg on the street will lie swearing on the Quran and GOD. I'm sorry but I personally think that Pakistan in this time of era can't be fixed. It'll be down the line if the next generation wants to change as a whole and not as a town/city where we'll see wonders once again as it did once long time ago in the golden age.
Moral of the story - Change mindset, right path will come on it's own.
karachi in some places has wider roads than London, but dont just look at the width of the roads, but number of miles of roads, how well lit they are, traffic signals, marked crossings, motorways and all.
I am not saying that Karachi is modern than London! What I was saying that people here have an iliterate mentality, they do not care of each other and that leads to traffic jam over here.
yeah sadly London is getting less civil by the day as well.
but yeah Karachi drivers, pedestrians and all are just messed up, jaywalkers galore. and the thing that gets to me is the people who line up at a train crossing on the wrong side of the road and then try to force themselves in teh right side and mess with law abiding ppl who were on the right side to begin with.

Excellent post, but what do you mean by that Pakistan cannot be fixed in this time of the era? I mean just make laws and FORCE people to abide by them, take no leniency to protests, just blow transgressors away.. that's the only way people are going to learn to respect the laws. On top of that, perhaps Pakistan just doesn't deserve to be a democracy, because it seems like everyone abuses their rights and others' as well.
