=graphican;1100160]Term "Feudalism" is what MQM sells to get votes. True its bad, true we don't want it in the country, true it must be rooted out but it is not the fundamental problem. Fundamental Problem is injustice and corruption and mis-governance. Were the same Feudal not there at the time of creation of Pakistan? Had we not lived with these feudal in the entire history of this area?
Yes v correst MQM is the only one who took a stance against fuedals --- where does the fundamental issues u highlighted originate from what is the root cause please look around , most of PA and NA seats are occupied by who ? sharifs , bhuttos , zaradaris etc etc (they btw cousins and families ocupy most of the seats and land in Sind and punjab assemblies ) these areas are the most populated. Than comes baluchistan please refer to PA seats and see who the people are and what are their back ground are they inherited seats from their ancestors. Now these people dominate most of the agricultural or useful land & these areas are esp Sindh and punjab are the heaviest populated. Majorty of the vote bank comes from here ... ! Now if you do the math these so called elected leaders have a dictariol mindset and they arent democratically elected neither.
We have lived with the fuedals but this fuedal system has brought us to these limits today , is there any thing worse than this stage ? choice is ours if we some how fight the terrorism and restore what we had say before zia or shal i say Ayub khan than please note that this mess will reappear in another form. We rather focus on the root cause , i saw an article online here are some quotes as why fuedalism is the root of all evil ::
The fuedal mindset
The feudal consists of landlords with large joint families possessing thousands of acres of land. Theynever make any direct contribution in production all work is done by poor farmers who live at subsistence level.
This is where injustice originates from :
The landlord, by virtue of his ownership and control of such vast amounts of land and human resources, is powerful enough to influence the distribution of water, fertilisers, tractor permits and agricultural credit and, consequently exercises considerable influence over the revenue, police and judicial administration of the area. The landlord is, thus, lord and master. Such absolute power can easily corrupt, and it is no wonder that the feudal system there is humanly degrading.
corruption roots :
The system, which some critics say is parasitical at its very root, induces a state of mind which may be called the feudal mentality. This can be defined as an attitude of selfishness and arrogance on the part of the landlords. It is all attitude nurtured by excessive wealth and power,
while honesty, justice, love of learning and respect for the law have all but disappeared. Having such a mentality, when members of feudal families obtain responsible positions in civil service, business, industry and politics, their influence is multiplied in all directions. Indeed the worsening moral, social, economic and political crisis facing this country can be attributed mainly to the powerful feudal influences operating there
Why shal we get rid of fuedals ::
Almost half of Pakistan's Gross National Product and the bulk of its export earnings are derived primarily from the agricultural sector controlled by a few thousand feudal families.
Armed with a monopoly of economic power, they easily pre-empted political power.
.
And why do you think MQM actually wants to weed feudalism out? Feudel is not somebody who just owns land, every person who misuses his power and makes the poor do what he wants is also feudal. Now just go through past 10 years of MQM history and see how many times it misused its power?
Once these zamindars and waderays are out only than we will be truly independent as Pakistans. Our future is decided by those deprived poor farmers and peasants , they comprise the majority of population... they are the most powerful people only once they are liberated from these medevil lords ! these farmers can go out there vote freely to the most suitable and competitive candiate , true democracy can only prevail than and Pakistan can really bounce back on the world stage. Sir please try and understand its a fundamental problem and we canot afford to have a mindset like this
Not aware of that please elaborate where did MQM made the poor do what MQM wanted ?
And lastly, if we are looking cure for the fever, you don't eat a medicine that would treat fever but cause hepatitis in return. I personally know people who migrated other parts of the country because they couldn't sustain the bhatas and influences of this party which calls itself democratic.
90's was a civil war like situation , armed forces all other law enforcement tried running over MQM over night all dirty tactics in the book were tried and tested ! MQM was blamed traitors thousands were killed in fake encounters , most were jailed , dozens of cases were filed against the leadership , a separate faction HAQIQI was formed under the protection of rangers. Offcourse MQM did retaliated as well they are no saints either but under the circumstances they had no choice. Also In these kiotic times there were thugs out there who also capatilise on the situation and did that? Every Tom dick and harry started extortion business MQM couldnt stop this as they were under heavy fire. Lets think busines like for a sec why will MQM be stupid to terrorise industrialists, businesses and residents ? they packed their bags and left karachi this was a total loss of karachis revenue and it created unemployment in addition to the mass unrest. Funny enough after a decade the same dictators were sitting on TV and said openly that MQM never conspired anti state activities.
No one in their right mind wants to take wrong medication ,however when you cant figure out sickness my advice is to consult the right Dr who can help cure it for long term now its indivisuals approach and decision who they go to?
In this time when no political party is delivering good, I tried to study ideology of every other option that I had and MQM was also among them, but after study I found this is not a political party yet. It might take take another 50 years to become a political party but at its present form, it is yet another flavor of feudalism instead of a solution to it.
Most people have a problem with Altaf rather than MQM & to be honest i am no die hard fan of his personality and his speech style is rather silly.... however i as a indivisual voter will rather look at the matter than personality and offcoure the results. Lastly MQM did delivered when they had the chance !
