The Mughals left a beautiful heritage behind.
nawaz sharif, benazir , zardari have nothing to show.
lord help those who think pakistan will be any better under nawaz sharif.
it amazes me one yar under the PPP-MQM-ANP government and the country is literally falling aprt. .
Pakistan's collective political mindset has not moved on from the feudal, Mughal era. We are left with political parties competing for decades to be the new Mughals. Parties with a royalist mentality that put on a facade of democracy.
The Mughals ran dynastic government, with power passed from father to child, with no distinction between the public wealth of the nation and the private wealth of the rulers. They disallowed opposition to their rule.
Pakistan's political parties operate as dynasties too, with power passing from father to family (Zulfikar to Nusrat to Benazir to Zardari to Bilawal in future; and Nawaz to his brother to his nephew) . And like the Mughals, they don't distinguish between public and private wealth (only now, we call it corruption). The PPP in power has cracked down on its opponents ruthlessly for 30 years, the PML too muzzles the press and its own internal critics when it is given the chance.
