Pakistan: The Nation That Never Became Angry.​

The likes of Pankaj Mishra say we live in the age of anger, but when I saw this picture, I could not feel anything. I was not at all angry, I'm sure. . I don't care that he lied to our institutions to run out of the country. I dont care he plundered the people of Pakistan. I now strongly believe that he made the best he could of the system of Pakistan. He is now THE successful man in my eyes. I wish I could be half as calm, contented and satisfied as this man. Indeed he has won the game that is Pakistan's politics.

I have now realized that the only one to be blamed for the ills of this nation is the overall Established System of Pakistan. Now dont think that the picture of Nawaz has got be all hysterical and emotional. I can't be angry anymore. I think the time for the Pakistani people is to become as calm as The Nawaz and assess the situation in order to best exploit it for their own benefit. In order to properly assess the situation, understand that pictures like this just tell part of the story.

One must realize that the judiciary, the bureaucracy, the army and the political elite are all inevitably in this together. They cannot help but exploit the people of Pakistan. It is becoming more clear, by the day. There can be no justice, safety from terrorists, legislation, representation, peace and equity as long as this system persists. Each and every institution is working to increase their own power without thinking about the people of Pakistan (judicial activism being the newest effort). PTI might present herself to be a noble and honest party , but PTI cannot even offer resistance to the already established system of exploitation in Pakistan. I understand the helplessness of Imran Khan and his workers. IK will die with his dream of changing Pakistan within this decade or the next.

I have been thinking a lot about Pakistan's future in the long quarantine that I have placed myself into, and I have realized a few things.

• First, Pakistan is now a permanently failed/stuck state. A stuck state means that the political environment in the country is such, that no progress in economy, welfare and provision of justice justice can be made due to very powerful hurdles. Hurdles being regionalization of national political parties in all provinces, the introduction of the half baked 18th amendment, Battle of power between the judiciary, army and the parliament, amoung many other reasons. There has been no legislation in the country since IK took oath and I dont expect any further legislation even after the next election. The Indian, Afghan and Iranian machinations to hurt Pakistan will also overpower Pakistan because they exploit along the already fragile ethnic and sectarian lines.

• Second, for the young people of this nation, there is no future. They wont be able to generate wealth, raise families happily, get their children good education, and will suffer in this system. I believe that, specially after the COVID-19, every educated person who has a degree is as useless as expecting Pakistan to change for the better. The only people who will survive will be the ones who know skills and craft.

• Third, In the future, I see that the ethnic borders between the provinces will be inflamed due to increased competition of resources, lack of Pakistani action with regard to Indian water terrorism and climate change. The PPP will keep alienating the population of Sindh while they will still keep voting PPP to retain a Bhutto legacy while in Balochistan, India and Iran will continue their cooperation to bleed Pakistan. The chances of a failing Pakistan in the far future have increased specially after the pandemic. Everyone saw the lack of central authority during the pandemic. The pandemic showed that Punjab does not need Sindh, and vice versa. KPK does not need Punjab and Sindh and vice versa. And we don't talk about Balochistan.

• Fourth, If one has to survive the anarchic nation of Pakistan, one has to make his way into one of the four institutions I mentioned above namely: The Army, Bureaucracy, Politics and the Judiciary. With a good position in one of such institutions, one places himself in a good position to exploit and plunder the people of Pakistan. My message to fellow youngsters, if you do not do that, some one else will do it to you. A strong recommendation to the youngsters reading this write-up is to sit for the government exams or try for Army instead of becoming bank managers, engineers and doctors.

• Fifth, I see that in this decade (2020-2030), Pakistan will face a huge brain drain. Every engineer, doctor and service provider will crawl out of Pakistan to have a chance of living a reasonable and respectable life. This is because the lack of industrialization, failing institutions and a failed economy. According to a very recent record from THE top engineering university of Pakistan, 66% of their students (batch 2017 and 2018) have left Pakistan with no intention of working in Pakistan ever.

With all these problems racing towards us, the viability of Pakistan as a state or at least as a functional nation is in grave danger. I do not see any way to avoid the problems as it would require changing perception of different ethnicities, sects and views. How can one do that without breaking the country up? Will all this happen without a war within? Will the people of Pakistan become "Angry" one day? Will that "Anger" break Pakistan into pieces or will it make it into a strong state? The reaction of the people of Pakistan to the failing system in the coming few years will decide whether Pakistan sustains a place on this map, becomes a unified nation under a single authority ( unlike today where everyone is running after power) or a failed state. However, the chances of a fragmented Pakistan have drastically increased after the Pandemic and the 18th amendment.

About 5th point last week i was going through alumni stats from my university and saw this. The 66.07% figure might not be accurate because not all alumni are registered on this platform especially those living abroad. Furthermore almost every batch mate i know is either studying/working outside Pakistan or planning on leaving Pakistan. This is not a healthy trend but it surely is on rise in Pakistan.

Even though i work for a govt deptt, i am seriously thinking about moving abroad. The only thing that may save the country is to strengthen city/local govts by devolving and taking away power from provincial govts.
Peoole of those cities will work for the industrial, social, infrastructural, educational etc betterment. Will increase employment opportunities, while decreasing crime and lawlessness.
The provincial govt will just be responsible for solving inter city issues, inter city resource distribution, and coordination, while keeping an eye on city govt corruption.
The federal govt will be responsible for foreign affairs, defence and inter province coordination. Alongwith implementing policies of industrialisation and keeping an eye on provincial corruption.
Also, electoral reforms are needed, where each and every person wishing to contest must be vetted to know whether the person knows anything about administration, policy making, foreign affairs, constitution etc.

Thats so true i have seen Doc who got jobs out of country will help most of their collegue to get out of country. This problem is in every sector of society we cud talk.

Given the chance most of Pakistanis will prefer to work abroad and there's nothing wrong with that everyone deserves better opportunities and chances to prosper in their lives. The problem in Pakistan is that our Govt is incompetent and our country is ruled by mafias and those who have wealth they'd rather buy some 1000x expensive real estate rather than starting some business\startup that can help in creating jobs.

 

[darksider]

Agreed with every point.after seeing pti performance i am totally disappointed.we have no options left or any alternative of ppp pmln and pti.
We cannot rely on establishment also because they are the one who gave nro and still doing same thing.
We have no ethics as nation.our people never protest against oppression.they follow their corrupt leaders blindly and dont ask them harsh questions.
A black man,s death from police bring out people on the streets in the America but here nobody will think about a incident like this on second day.

But what do we expect engineers to do when there are no new investments in the industrial sector but rather continuous de-industrialization of Pakistan during the last few decades. Sometimes I don't understand what is even the purpose to spend money on engineering universities and medical colleges when most of the graduates from these institutes have no decent employment opportunities within Pakistan. The only sector that has flourished in recent decades is the media BS sector of talking parrots, that is where the financial investment has gone in recent decades. Pakistan's economic priorities are more or less ****** up. Pakistani state policy is to produce talking parrots (marasi media people) rather than productive innovative scientifically literate work force (engineers).

True that. But media boom is over now. Many channels and newspaper businesses are shutting down. During last decade PPP & PML-N paid billions to these media houses to brainwash Pakistani nation and create false narrative of "SUB ACHA HA" hence rapid growth in media houses because everyone saw an opportunity to make easy money. Well since last govt came to power and decreased the allocation of funding for media houses which led to closure of some channels and newspapers while others are struggling to survive without govt's funds.

Paints a terrible gloomy picture. This will not happen ever IA.

 

[El Sidd]

Patience is a virtue and Anger is a trial.

Pakistanis only get angry when they see Imran Khan Niazi

 

[El Sidd]

Pakistanis get angry when they see OP type nafsiyati mariz.

I don't think nafsiyaati marz have this much awareness in Pakistan but they have little patience for people whose act don't match the spoken words.

Usually ese logon ko gaon chorna parta hai per isko nahi janay denge. yahi rakhenge bani bala zoo me

 

[V. Makarov]

Pakistanis only get angry when they see Imran Khan Niazi

What I want is that people become angry when they think of the overall system of exploitation set by the army, politicians, bureaucracy and the judiciary, and not by looking at IK or NS.

 

[Laozi]

OP has indeed painted a very gloomy picture of future of Pakistan

But he has failed to provide a solution. May be OP has not found the cause of the problem which persists with Pakistan.

PTI might present herself to be a noble and honest party , but PTI cannot even offer resistance to the already established system of exploitation in Pakistan.

Clearly PTI is not the solution

I understand the helplessness of Imran Khan and his workers. IK will die with his dream of changing Pakistan within this decade or the next.

IK may be as incompetent as the previous leaders.

SOLUTION :

FIND A LEADER WHO CAN LEAD YOU OUT OF CRISIS

 

[El Sidd]

What I want is that people become angry when they think of the overall system of exploitation set by the army, politicians, bureaucracy and the judiciary, and not by looking at IK or NS.

Why does anyone has to get angry?

There is no justice in vigilante justice as much as i personally want people to attack bani gala just like they were exploited to attack ptv and parliament but ever since 2018 its haram
