Questions....

You must have been watching programs on ARY/GEO and all other channels where people like Dr Mubarik Ali, Dr Israr, Dr Mehdi Hasan etc(the so called parhe likhe log i.e scholars) trying to paint this country in their own colors and school of thoughts. Some of them insist that Pakistan was supposed to be an Isalmic state and others say something opposite and blah blah. Some of them even deny the whole idea of pakistan and insist it would ve been better off staying as a part of India.

Mullah's want to impose their views, Mush has his view of "Roshan Khiyal, Moderate & Enlightened" Pakistan. Not to mention the governement is spending huge money on Ads to project Pakistan as moderate and enlightened country. Why not this money spent on education, health, clean drinking water? How can you change the image of Pakistan thru ads? Is there a point in cleaning the mirror, when what we really need to do is to clean our own face? How about kicking those ppl's a$$ who sent thousands of ordinary ppl to so called Jihad in Afghanistan and got them killed? How come we lost half of the country and no one was responsible for it (and we are probably about to make the same mistake in Balochistan) Why Zardari is a Hero now? We hear each day that BB is coming back since PPP is now an "acceptable n roshan khiyal" party. Or military has really created a mess... again...as they ve done in past and they want politicians to clean it up for them so that their holy cow status is safe? We seem to have lost our national dignity and free will somewhere in 50+ years of existance.

And where are ordinary people of Pakistan in all this fuzz? The truth of the matter is after more than half a century, the people of Pakistan do not know who they are, where they belong, what they believe in and where they want to go. Or are they even bothered about all this at all? Nothing can be more tragic than people becoming indifferent. Why are we so indifferent as a nation and why we are aware of the root of most problems we have and yet we dont do anything to change it?

hmmm... it seems our generation is stuck in questions n questions n more questions and no answers...
