Unity, faith and discipline - I wonder who follows it these days in our country. This dream of Mohammad Ali Jinnah is stomped on harshly by the successive regimes of our country. Unity creates brotherhood and gives patience in return to survive with people of different ideologies, Faith is the basis for the creation of this country – the country was made for the Muslims of the people of the Indian Subcontinent, while discipline is required to create peace in the country.
But, due to the interest of the few, we have stopped implementing the three most essential rules of life. All what I have said up till now does not signify that that this trio of success is not present in the country anymore. It’s present in the divided form but is not embraced as a whole in our system.
At the time where we are at crossroads, we have to learn and unite with each other. We have to unite because we want to throw the concept of ‘divide and rule’ by the British to the garbage. We need to have unity at the national level to evade a civil war and internationally to eradicate ‘Islam-o-phobia’.
Ah! Don’t be surprised about this term; it’s the latest type of phobia which has spread in the West. The westerners are afraid of Islam because they think that the Muslims are a bunch of terrorists. This has been spread by the people who want to shake the foundation of Islam. This is actually the second step which they have adopted to erase us from this world. The first was to lure us to the capitalist world which they done very successfully. Our entrance into the world of capitalism, has tied us in such chains that we are often concerned about the materialistic world which makes us fail to the see the bigger picture – the autocracy by the nepotism.
Islamic countries are going through its worst ever turmoil as the three most essentials rules of life and peace are fading away. Brothers are killing their own brothers, raping their sisters and there is pandemonium all over. Mayhem can be curtailed and peace can prevail; all is possible if we go through a re-incarnation process where we realize the importance of religion. Religion teaches us tolerance which will make the learning process of unity, faith, and discipline easier.
We are sent by God to perform duties which include protecting the religion. We have to perform well in our work field and socially so that we can throw Islam-o-phobia in the bin. We don’t have much time to wait either. Or, we can’t live on thinking that someone will come or God will come and make things easier for us. Thus, we need to have faith in the Almighty lord and unite with discipline so that we can fight those elements who are trying to wipe out our existence otherwise we are doomed.

Dear Sir/Madam,
Dare to raise your voice for the voiceless people of Pakistan, help to empower the Pakistani - the country belongs to.
Pakistan is passing through a crucial time and is in imminent need for change of system, instead of change of faces, let the people of Pakistan the country belongs to be the real stack holder and empower them to decide the fate of their generation.
Since the creation of Pakistan the Pakistani people are left at distant from the corridor of power so that the ruling elite can do what they wanted to do in favour of their interest, leaving the Pakistani people at the mercy of circumstances. As this policy is denial of right of Pakistani people to rule their country according to their aspiration and desire to built this country, which can provide equal opportunity to all without any discrimination for the establishment of welfare society. Only the society base on tolerance, equality and justice can be the real guarantee for the prosperous and strong Pakistan there for your intention is invited to the crucial movement which could be the point of distraction or disaster.
since last 60 years no one has dare to trust the Pakistani people and involved them in to the day to day decision making process with intention to develop a sense of participation in to the decision making process affecting the future of their country and their generation at large and share the real benefit of democracy, and due to the conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits, deprivation and opinions of the masses as an important element within so-called democratic society, they manipulate this elements of society to constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.
As we are governed, our minds are molded, our tastes are formed, our ideas suggested largely by men we have never heard of. This is a logical result of the way in which our democratic society is organized. Vast numbers of masses beings force to cooperate in this approach if they are to live together as a so-called smoothly functioning society.
Whatever attitude, one chooses to take toward this condition, it remains a fact that in almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons, who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind, who harness old social forces and engineer new ways to bind and protect their personal interest with outside forces.
Sometimes the effect on the public is created by a professional propagandist, sometimes by an amateur deputed for the situation. The important thing is that it is universal and continuous; and in its sum total is regimenting the public mind every bit as much as possible to keep the masses away from the corridor of power. The systematic study of mass psychology, revealed to the ruling click the potentialities of (indiscernible groups within the society) manipulation of the society by actuate man, So the question naturally arose, If we understand the mechanism and motives of the ruling elite and the way they practice, propaganda has proved that it is possible, at least up to a certain extent and within certain limits we can introduce the alternate socio-political system to replace the present undemocratic system.
No one believes any longer that the voice of the people expresses could have been stop, any celestial or especially wise and snooty idea. The honest voice of the people, regarding the system will affect the mind of the people, and that mind once made up for it by the masses, group taking responsibility for the change of system will succeed in creating public opinion.
Whether is the difficulty of getting elected to office or in the problem of interpreting and popularizing new issues, or in the problem of making the day-to-day administration of public relation affecting a vital part of the community life should be carefully adjusted according to the mentality of the masses, being an essential attachment of political life.
We have already lost the major part of Pakistan in 1971 simply to save the centralised sole power to exploit this country by the ruling elite they let the country break in part then allowing the masses to rule this country democratically. In the present circumstances we are again dragging our sovereignty at stack for the external interest in the name of national interest, instead of our interest i.e. the interest of Pakistani people at large.
The only way out of these crucial circumstances is to empower the common Pakistani at grass route level i.e. the change of system. This change is inevitable for the prosperous Pakistan .As a citizen of this country I have try to provide an alternate socio-political system to empower the masses at grass route level for rapid industrial and agriculture development with transparency and accountability in the system. Along with basic guarantees for the creation of welfare state, where in public representative and institution shall be answerable and accountable to the masses.

This is the dilemma, a reason why we behave as subjects and not free citizens of a free state which needs some deep heart-searching. It is because of the very fact that we Pakies have yet to determine our identity as a nation. The question is: Are we still one of the two nations of the ‘Two Nation Theory’ (TNT) which had replaced the ‘One Nation Theory’ as reflected in Allama Iqbal’s Tarana-e- Hindi ‘Hindi hein ham watan he Hindostan hamara’ or one of the ‘Multi-national Theory’ which emerged after breakup of Pakistan into Bangladesh and New Pakistan? Or, is our nationality to go on changing with the changes in geography of the land we occupy? Unless and until we do this and decide about our identity as a nation we will have to depend upon our army to keep in tact our geography though it has also not a very good track record in doing so.
So we can do nothing but to go back to Quide Azam and bewail::
“Mein aakhan Quide Azam noon toon qabraan wichon bol
Te aj sadi taareekh da koi agla warqah khol
Tere Pakistan da jo hashar nashar asi keeta
Aj das ja toon saanoon asi kehrha wajaaeye dhol ”
(Amrita Pritam aur shaaiyree se mahzrat ke saath)
