Re: NYT: Pakistan to Talk With Militants, New Leaders Say
Bhaijan I work in Pakistan and in finance sector too. Surely there are lots of threats to Pakistan economy, but despite all that it is still sustaining and growing. I started work in this Port Qasim Industrial Area some 6 years ago. So far I have not seen a single factory closure over here. Numerous factories have been added here over the last 5 years.
I am from Lahore and you can visit it and can ask to purchase a factory by any renowned dealer here and they will tell you dozens of factories along multan road, raiwind side an few at ferozepur size... and these are some big units.. not small 4 stitching machine units...
Definitely without electricity how can one run a factory... Generators is not feasible at all for these factories... with the cut throat competition in the international market you can very well except it...
You go to buy a cloth in any market of Lahore, it will be hard to find Pakistani lawn there... a decade ago there was no concept of foreign lawn for daily use cloth buying... we r not being able to compete in our own market...
Problem is we have not developed any othe sector as strongly to act as a secondary growth market... consumer market is not an answer all especially when u r an agricultural nation with 160 million people to feed.. you ought to be producer... china followed this strategy... and now they r racing ahead in world economy... initially they restricted their people to use cycles and home grown stuff.. and now they don't need to...they develop everything... they didn't go after importing everything ... they knew they won't be able to sustain it...
It is just like that you do nothing and have no job, but you go and take 10 million ruppee loan from the bank and buy a nice house and gr8 car and roam around in the city, and start thinking that you r doing pretty good in comparison to your fellow men.. but don't have ground to stand on for long... how long you will be able to sustain this lifestyle without having a job.?
You are educated and i m sure you will get the right answer...
it is really sad to see my country in such a state... it is had got everything, honestly we r very talentend people and believe me there is no other resource as important as having a talented workforce... and it make me sick that we r wasting it and we r lying to ourselves and we r dishonest to ourselves...
