Very well said. I agree with you. We were talking about this the other day too that unless you don't have a proper base, you can continue to do what you want and that might not produce fruitful results. It is not that people in Pakistan do not want to get education, it's just that some cannot afford it. For example, I still know of people who live in villages and send their young kids to a school far away everyday so that they can get education and become something and make smething out of theirselves. I understand that some jahils like me don't give importance to education but that does not represent whole Pakistan. Education is very important and a must.
in any society or nation, need for improvement is always there.
in Paistan(wrong spelling dear) as a nation state and a society* (err...awkward wording), what is lacking or missing in the **back support** (should be one word)* for the following:
educational** institutes** (institutions would be more appropriate) with uniform and excellent educational standards,
religious institutes *(should be institutions)*which have community centers able to offer scholarly and
objective religious knowledge that has bearing on real social living,
&
availability and maintenance of resilient social support for men, adolescents, elderly, orphans, widowers and widows, immigrants and women
share your thoughts if you like.
Dushwari
Um..Yes you're right! we should focus more on babysteps such as the language, grammar, etc. first. :>
One of the few posts of dushwari which was less philosophical and more to the point? :p
So dushwari, let me ask you: Do you want the govt or the private citizenry to provide such services? Right now, the extended family system provides many of the functions that the governments in the west have to provide for their citizen.
^ i just don’t think that the ad hoc lathee system nor buddy system is working any longer.
money does not buy loyalty, you know that, right?
nor does it buy peace.
the land for the vision of later generations and their vibrant future is what is the real stake, not the current temporal luxuries.
and from that point of view, Pakistani society is in need of a total shake up, from top to bottom, in fact there ought to be a plain field, and no top and no bottom rungs of the social economic strata.
when everyone, governance and citizens will think according to the caliphate system, where women and men of the nation state will be actively working to keep peace and prosperity in the region, then with a solid identity and a 'matha' (a stable forehead/front), we can say that Pakistani society is alive and able to withstand all hidden or obvious ploys, political, international, or internal.
there is a fine line between arrogant self righteousness and being of solid and ethical convictions. there is also a fine line between diplomacy and practicality and down right fear of the powers that be or their flattery.
balance is needed and some things strong and self sure nations just wont put up with.
transparent governance and law abiding citizenry will take care of all allied unethics that are threatening the survival of the state and its nation.
Islam has so much ready made for us, but as Muslims we don’t practice it.
so it is partly we who are at fault greatly i must say. and then the rest of the work of the conspirators - internal or external, becomes even more easier.
its people who make the place, place does not make the people who they become!
