All are noble goals for sure, but may I please ask what are the ideas on how to IMPLEMENT these goals, and how they would be financed?
Maybe you can benefit us from your intelligence and present us with some answers can ya?
We have been talking about Inqalab since 2009, it appears that the whole of the Middle East will change and we will still be talking about it in decades to come...........
Pakistan does not need a revolution
February 24, 2011
This spirit of revolt witnessed in Tunisia, Egypt, Jordan, Bahrain and Libya is being termed a new era of democracy, liberalisation and freedom. It is spreading like wildfire. Some people are asking whether this fire will ever reach Pakistan. One can only wonder what they are talking about.
The conditions that provoked the uprising in Tunisia are not at all identical to Pakistan. People here are discontented due to unemployment, poverty, inflation and widespread corruption. But in Pakistan we have a free press the most free media in the Islamic world, a democratic government that works in fits and starts but still works, and a country where everyone seems to have the chance to abuse our leaders on a daily basis.
The general public is of the opinion that instead of resolving public issues the elected representatives are busy securing their seats or making deals with their coalition partners in order to remain in power. But at least they can say it. In countries like Tunisia, Egypt and Libya, they would be picked up soon after and nothing would be heard about them after that.
That is why, possibly with all the repression in these states, a single incident triggered an uproar, pushing people off the edge and on to the streets. In Pakistan we are a more happy-go-lucky bunch.
Take Pakistans cricket team for instance. They are known to be unpredictable and have many a time won a match against all odds. The same can be said about the people of Pakistan.
We do not need the same level of protests to achieve the same results as in Tunisia. We have suffered a lot at the hands of our rulers, especially our dictators. The young men and women we see in Pakistan today were born in the Zia years. They have seen the good and the bad.
Libya is in a state of complete dictatorship and had no outlet for expression. That is why it exploded. We do not need a revolution in Pakistan. Here changes are coming gradually, but we are far ahead than most Muslim states.
This event is suspicous, the creator of the group lives in the UK and won't be attending protest himself, The link below shows a page which exposes this event.

Anyway back to topic : Pakistan cannot have revolution like Egypt because
1) Illiterate Jahil Qoom.
2) Most of the middle class and upper class is corrupted.
3) People are radicalized so any such revolution will be over taken by Jihadhis.
4) Pakistanis just don't have intellectual capacity to stage such a revolution.Pakistanis will probably end up raping women, stealing stuff etc.
5) Delusional People who think Pakistan should become radicalized and all Muslim countries are our brother and sisters.They probably never read anything other then our education system Pak/Social Studies.
Besides, a true revolution is impossible as there is no specific ideology for which Pakistanis will march for.This may sound harsh and i may look unpatriotic but i made these observations in Pakistan.
4. The people of Iran had zero intellectual capacity. Yet they brought the best revolution in their country. A revolution that changed everything forever, made them so powerful that they aren't even scared of America now, unlike us. So powerful that no outsider manipulates their actions.
We are one emotional nation. We have no sense of direction.
Nothing else to say.
