5) Pakistan needs a "Patriot Act" as a law passed by the government - Strong Anti Terrorist ACT.

6) Strong Political Reform Policies

Get rid of Dynastic politics.
and Land reforms.

just keep electing your leaders.. everything will automatically be on track... no matter how bad your current leaders are.
And pay your taxes.

lol..just like you guys ended up electing a terrorist named Modi.
 
.
Those points are too vague.

It's easy to say you wan't these reforms, but there will be no clean sweep where some magician on a unicorn swoops down from the skies to save us. Each reform, for each reason, using whatever means/methodology to achieve said reform is a battle within itself.

I have an excellent reform:

1) Change the way Pakistanis as a people think.

/thread.



What about the rest of the angels in politics?

^ Bolded part. Who went out and voted PMLn? Certainly PMLn didn't come up with 12 million fake votes in entirely. Certainly MQM doesn't threaten thousands of people with death if they don't attend Altaf bhai's show or to vote for MQM.

We're ourselves to blame. No one else. We're the corrupt.

you're talking as if slums, poverty, hunger and corruption are not part of Pakistan, all these exist in both countries.. take a chill pill, you watch our Bollywood movies, and we watch your Pakistani tv serials..
both are in the same boat, as to my opinion why India is on it's journey to be a world player, leaving Pakistan behind, is the sole difference of extremism being woven into the fabric of your country, whereas it occupies a far smaller footprint in India..
sure we have our Indian Taliban, in the form of some Hinduvta idiots and deobandi madrasa morons, but they occupy much less space, and our national media is always tearing into them, as their favorite punching bags..
When you can change the mindset of extremism that is woven into the fabric, then Pakistan would find it's true place in the world.. till then no top ten list is going to work..
please don't think this is India vs Pakistan, but think logically that extremism is inversely proportional to development.. for that don't consider India per se, but look at the developed countries of the west, see how developed they are vs their level of extremism, and you'll get your answer..
All the best!


Very well said...Although there are tons of other issues, extremism is the biggest hindrance for Pak.

Pakistan need the Khilafat-e-Rashida model immediately. This Anglo-Sexyn laws are pathetic for Pakistan.

I also think that Sharia should be applied in entire Pakistan. Thats the best system, you know.

So here are my 2 suggestions for Pakistanis.
1. I want Sharia Laws.
2. I dont want Sharia Laws and I wanna die.
 
.
Call it a reform or necessity, but improved relations with India can certainly help pakistan as it can open opportunities for business sectors of both countries.

Congrats , you are well on your way to being a think tank :D
You pass level one

What I think that before any other reform Pakistan need following changes-
1. Get rid of landlords
2. Get rid of Military lords
3. Get rid of religious and extremist lords
4. Make a habit of paying tax at all level.
5. Remove negative thoughts from academic curriculum and replace it with positives.

Once you implement the above things Pakistan will be ready for reforms. If you do not do these, beneficiaries of current system will do everything to fail any reform initiatives.

First thing Nehru the Great did was land reforms in India. This made India free from the feudal lords. Pakistan is still pretty much feudal:

Agreed. Its a gradual process that takes time. Nobody has a magic wand which ends corruption or tax evasion suddenly.

What about the Taliban, Al Qaeda, Laskar e jhangvi, jaish e Muhammad etc? Pals of yours?
 
.
- Educate yourself by not twisting the history and facts.
- Separate State from religion. Religion and administration are two different stuff.
- Keep electing and have faith in democracy. Things will sort out by itself.
- Stop going by the conspiracy theories and
- On top of all, stop blaming anything wrong happening in your country to others. Take it as a lesson and experience and then learn from it.
