Thanks buddy. I have hope in Pakistan because of every one of you, my friends, colleagues, brothers all working to make the country better. Right down to the forum members who are keen to do their part.Beautifully written rebuttal. If I may, whilst it is very hurtful and vexing to hear bitter words about our motherland we mustn't silence the voices that offer a critical analysis or opposing narrative.
The reason for this is because this makes us love our nation, even more, it is not Pakistan's fault; Pakistan is a chunk of Land, it is an identity, it is the fault of our leaders and the people for not wanting change. I completely agree with your rebuke and if nothing else, as parents we should teach our children to be the ideal that our Quaid wanted us all to be.
As for some of the hopeless comments here, I think living away from the land has both its advantages and its disadvantages. Overseas Pakistanis have the opportunity to see the world-the other world, the developed world and set higher benchmarks for Pakistan. Their criticism in a way helps better Pakistan. Which is why I never abuse even some of the worst critics though sometimes their criticism is so heavy it cannot be classified as criticism.
The disadvantage however is overseas Pakistanis or Pakistanis who have renounced their nationality in favor of British, American, Malaysian or other passports is that they lose hope in their past nation. The huge gap in development plays a part and develops notions that are very different from that of a common man who lives in Pakistan surviving on bare minimum but not losing hope. Perhaps it is this difference that is causing me to become a little wary of Syed ali haider though even I have lived outside the country.
But I do believe the loss of hope is greatly unfortunate. I believe once these Pakistanis who are the richest of the lot, lose hope a great battle has been lost. Because these overseas Pakistanis have the means to stabilize the Pakistani economy and other sectors. They just give up and that is a loss for the nation.
