Re: Pakistan helping taleban:NATO
If Pakistanis do not want to return to Pakistan after getting their degree from abroad then whose fault is it? Perhaps they see better opportunities and quality of life abroad than they could ever dream to achieve in Pakistan?
And certainly Pakistanis are not the only ones who want to leave their country of origin. For example, I think something around a whopping 10% doctors, 8% engineers and so on in the US are of Indian origin. Indians make up the highest proportion of recipients of H1 visa with the American IT companies in particular hiring them left, right and center! Yet, I don’t see any outrage in India at some of their brightest moving abroad to pursue greener pastures. The Non-resident Indians and the Indian diaspora are very much held in high esteem there.
It does not. In my previous post, I wrote in detail about the Fulbright scholarship directly funded by the US government which REQUIRES you to return to your country of citizenship and serve it, at least, for a minimum number of years after getting your degree from the US. As for others who are not recipient of conditional grants like Fulbright, if they are not returning to Pakistan then again it is not US’s fault. Certainly, American companies are generally no longer very keen to hire Pakistanis so if Pakistanis are not returning to Pakistan then most likely they are going to the Middle East or somewhere else. US is getting nothing from funding or subsidizing their education.
Yes of course you do. Didn’t rangoli here a couple of months or so ago post a link to an encouraging news article about the LUMS professor who has been recognized by MIT as among the top 35 Young Innovators of 2011? See no one is stopping Pakistanis from innovating or bringing technology etc. into the market. On the contrary, Pakistani talent is recognized and celebrated by top American institutions like the prestigious MIT.
I think Pakistanis do not lack any potential and can certainly make good things. Of course, they need access to good quality education and guidance too. Which is why it is heartening that if you check out the profiles of faculty members of the top universities of Pakistan, you will find that many faculty members are in fact US trained, who received their PhDs from American universities and many were Fulbright scholars.
Again, IMF does not come knocking at Pakistan’s door; it is Pakistan that keeps approaching it. Moreover, IMF is an international organization and its terms and conditions are fairly uniform for all countries. If its policy prescriptions appear harsh, that is because, like children, developing countries too need to stand on their feet and for that to happen difficult but inevitable decisions have to be made.
Bhaijan, yah kaisi baatain kar rahay ho, kiya yeh kula tazad nahi? I think by now we have completely debunked the myth that US does not want a prosperous progressive Pakistan. A stable progressive Pakistan is the only thing US and the international community desire.
Mujhe bhi kuch aisa hi feel ho raha hai. By the way, I would rather people stay on topic instead of taking irrelevant digs at others, but khair.. :cobra:
