Dear Indians:
Could you please stay away from this thread? We see the ugliness of your society and state every day in the media.
I am a proud Pakistani. I am proud because of the idea behind Pakistan. Pakistans strong Muslim identity, its mixture between nation state and pan-islamic movement are main things for my love for Pakistan. Pakistan personifies for me my mothers tongue, my culture, my favourite food, the love of my late Nani and yes without my Pakistani background I wouldn't have the love for my religion I have today.
Pakistan ka matlab kya?
I think in Pakistans case we should differentiate between the corrupt politicians, the fat feudal lords and the superstitious population that adheres to Hindu traditions and tends to tribal stupidity. This is the State of Pakistan, the idea is better than the actual implementation. We have justice issues like every other country. But the talk is about Pakistan, so please don't derail the thread with whataboutisms.
The main problem is that most people like their echo chambers. They only want to here how great everything is but do not want to see behind the facade.
And please be honest to yourself: if every Pakistani would get a visa for a Western country, 90% would immediately leave on the same day rather than doing their best to make Pakistan a better place! It's no shame in pointing obvious things out.
Pakistan needs to implement its state motto properly: Faith, Discipline, Unity
- no Mullahism --> Islam is simple!
- no tribalism ("What he is not your cousin/not a Pathan/Punjabi..?")
- no toxic socialist, communist, feminist ideas imported from other countries
- FREE MARKET ECONOMY! You want to start a business? Just start a business!
- stop senseless regulation and taxation
- Some Pakistani posters demand a dictatorship for Pakistan, we have million dictatorships in our homes already. No need for a state run dictatorship! Don't produce children just for showing off or using them as ATMs. Don't force them to marry people they don't want or to choose professions they don't like. Don't expect from one rich cousin to provide for the whole family
- stop hating on ethnic minorites
- Provide Free Market education no need for government mismanagement
- Provide Free Market health care no need for government mismanagement
- Provide a justice system based on Islamic principles not this wannabe Oxford lawyer system
Whataboutisms like: "the jews do ugly things too" or "What about India" don't improve the situation in Pakistan. The betterment of Pakistan should be our collective focus and not the thousandth creepy Indian Facebook PM meme.
May Allah protect our Pakistan, may Allah help us to improve ourselves, to do Jihadun Nafs against our egos and may Allah help us to make Pakistan a better place for everybody.
Pakistan Zindabad
