Re: News from Pakistan in the year 2012
Furqan n Zainab - here is the lub-e-lubab of this essay. The Genre is Satire. And it shows us many evils in our society and muslim world in a novel and funny way
Writer in his hystarical Non-politically correct style has presented the picture of world in near future. He has made fun of politician of Muslim world and irrational behavior of muslim population all over the world.
He is poking fun at NWFP Govt. which is in-efficient and always resort to hogwash (just like celebrating three eids ) instead of solving real problems of masses. (although this was written well before MMA govt took power in the province but the situation is same )
Next he is making fun of the lack of research & development in Sciences, as pakistanis/iraqi look for shortcuts.
Lastly, he is pointing out the pathetic living conditions of Asian labourer working in gulf states.
