Pakistan is a country which has been largely ruined at the cruel hands of civil and military dictators during last 65 years. They have enjoyed their terms one after another but the miserable lot of Pakistan remained unchanged. They had done number of experiences with it in the name of various reforms but everything looked destined to be failed. In a destabilized third world country, military is often the only well-disciplined, centralized and sophisticated institution. It has sophisticated instruments of violence and has a top down chain of command which is seldom if ever broken. Particularly in countries where democratic institution are either promising or democracy after its introduction leads to chaos, military due to its ability to bring “stability” and restore order often intervenes. Third world has thus witnessed a number of coups and Pakistan by no stretch of imagination is an exception.

Military once it intervenes to overthrow the political government becomes a political stakeholder and from that point onwards, takes steps particularly in the constitutional and legal realm, which solidify its acquired political status, powers and privileges. Of course the military is not accountable to the electorate and therefore in the longer run is quite insulated from the normal pressures which a political government has to go through. Military rule seriously undermines the democratic evolution and does not allow the political culture to deepen. It depoliticizes the populace and also creates a state which is not responsive to its people. Compared to Indian freedom movement, Pakistan’s independence movement became a mass movement at a very late stage. Whereas Congress’s birth was in 1885 and it became a mass movement particularly due Gandhi’s efforts by 1920s, Muslim League even in early 1940s had not been successful to garner the same kind of mass support. Ironically the areas where it was actually popular were areas which subsequently became part of India. It was only in the second half of the decade of 1940s that the Muslim League started to make real appeal to the people of the areas which subsequently became Pakistan.
Muslim League did not attain the political maturity the way Congress did which had gone through several generations of leaders and the political culture was institutionalized in the party as well as the movement headed by it.
This is an important distinction which shaped the respective roles of the military in both the countries. In India the political class was dominant from the beginning and moreover the public perception of the army was not of a saviour as the Indian army had served loyally under the British Empire. The entrenched political culture ensured that Indian political landscape made a smooth transition from a movement into a functioning democracy from the word go. Moreover, Nehru remained at the political helm in the initial years providing the much needed political stability under democratic umbrella. Military was never in a position to stage a coup both because the chaos-which often precedes the military coup and at least is the justification the first time- was never there and secondly the army did have an “image” issue due to its close association with the colonial rule. Nehru’s revered and towering status also prevented the development of any militaristic Bonapartism. Pakistan on the other hand was founded in an area where had already been militarized as most of the recruitment was taking place from so called “Martial Races” of Punjab and what is now Khyber Pukhtunkhawa. Moreover the state apparatus was stronger in Punjab and local politicians had to rely a lot on the civil bureaucracy in order to get things “done”. The reliance of political class on the state apparatus in areas falling under West Pakistan was much greater than in areas which later became India.
So when Pakistan came into being, the local politicians, particularly in the rural areas, had already become too entrenched in the practice of looking towards state apparatus to gain privileges and powers rather than rather than through political mechanism consisting of parties, manifestoes and ideology. In rural Punjab, this practice with varying degrees continues to this date.When Pakistan came into being the Muslim League despite having gained support in the last two years was still not a deeply rooted political party in the area which was West Pakistan. The main leaders of the League actually belonged to the areas which were in India and when they came to Pakistan, they were without the same kind of support. The nationalist movement actually brought leaders in West Pakistan whose roots had been left behind. In addition, Jinnah did not live long and died after one year of the creation of Pakistan.
In the initials years army was needed again and again both at the external front (Kashmir front) as well as the internal front (riots of 1953) to restore order. During these times while army’s role strengthened, the political landscape was fraught with chaos and repeated change of governments. The political class in the absence of a stabilizing political leader (Liaquat Ali Khan was shot dead in1951) and a political infrastructure underpinned by proper political culture, could not gain strength.
While government heads kept on changing, the Chief of Army Staff continued to gain power and moreover whereas in India the Chief of Army staff position witnessed at least five different individuals, Pakistan persisted with Ayub Khan. Repeated changes of governments and chaotic situation provided the impetus.History of the dirty marshal laws of Pakistan started off back in 1958 with the intervention of Field Marshal Ayub Khan. He laid the ugly foundations of military rule in Pakistan whereas India, our neighbor and arch rival built its army for defence and the differences are quite obvious today.
He later on introduced the concept of basic democracy in Pakistan, which failed just within the flash of eyes. He then, contested the presidential elections against Fatima Jinnah and defeated her with the clear rigging as bureaucracy was standing shoulder
to shoulder with him.His junior Gen Aagha Yahya Khan made the second intervention into the political set up of Pakistan and cost it an irreparable damage. Due to his destructive policies, Pakistan lost its second wind the Eastern Pakistan in 1971.
Then came the poor administrator in the shape of Gen Zia-ul-Haq that killed the best ever politician of Pakistan, Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto through court trials. It was the biggest loss our country has claimed so far but military dictatorship did not stop hence.
Gen Pervez Musharraf out threw the most powerful political government of Pakistan in 1999 and push Pakistan into an unnecessary and endless war of terrorism. The so-called war on terror has pushed our country into the depths of humiliations as we helped
the west to kill our friends and neighbours ruthlessly.
So what makes Pakistan a similar and yet in the longer run a “different” case as far as the role of military is concerned? Why the neighbouring India is an exception and why could not Pakistan follow the same trajectory despite the fact that it was carved out of the same British Empire?
Can we break this hold of Khakis and can limit them to borders? Yes, it can be broken but for that politicians too have to show maturity and respect rule of law. They also need to show unity instead of cheap opportunism when the opportunity to weaken military presents itself. What happened when Osama Bin Laden was killed?? Instead of having a united front, PPP was keen on creating a rift between army and PML-N for short sighted political gains. That opportunity was lost. And right now PML-N has actually gone to Supreme Court in Memo scandal despite the fact that the military establishment is targeting their supreme heads also and if democracy is derailed, they too will be loser.
We cannot wrestle away the power unless we show unity and an unshakable belief in democracy. However that belief in democracy is also underpinned by the way major political actors govern when in power and also engage with each other. The role of Army is to restore order and to defend the country on borders. Army needs chaos as a reason to intervene. It needs political governments to fail to ensure its hegemony. It wants political class to be riddled with internal rifts. What the political parties (the two main parties) can do is to at least ensure that they govern properly and ensure rule of law. They need to be united on the fact that they would not conspire against each other and will not try to seek army’s help for derailing the other.

No Pains No Gains

Pakistan – US relations can be divided into three distinct phases: The Cold War period; the years of crisis in the relationship from 1990 to 1993; and the current phase of repairing, rebuilding and redefining relations. As rightly pointed out by Dr. Henry Kissinger, the former US Secretary of State, that; in the international politics, “there are neither permanent friends nor permanent foes of a state”. These are indeed, the convergences and divergences of national interests of states that make them friends or enemies to each other. National interests of states are not constant, but continue changing depending upon the emerging realities from time to time. National strategies are made on the principals of national interests’ not on emotions or on personnel liking or disliking of leadership or a particular factor.

In the current phase of Pak-US relationship which indeed started after the incident of 9/11, US needed Pakistan for active cooperation in its military operations against Taliban in Afghanistan. The militancy in FATA and other areas of Pakistan indeed is the fallout of this cooperation. Even during this phase there has been vicissitudes’ at the bilateral level and Pakistan was not fully trusted. Against the ground realities, it was equated with Afghanistan through the infamous Af-Pak policy. It is also true that Pak-US relationship is indeed a history of turbulent connections, and there is no harm in admitting that Islamabad’s ties with Washington were dictated by specific politico-military interests with no deep-rooted historical and ideological union. It was the national interest of US which dictated its relations with Pakistan.
In September 2011, Adm. Mike Mullen the former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told the Senate that Pakistan’s intelligence agency had provided aid to the Haqqani network members who had attacked the American Embassy in Kabul the week before. In response, the Pakistani military’s high command has rallied the country’s civilian leadership to reject the U.S. ultimatum to end Islamabad’s relationship with the Haqqanis. Pakistan’s foreign minister warns that America risks “losing an ally”. American-Pakistani relations took a turn for the worse in late November 2011 when a NATOair attack killed 26 Pakistani soldiers in strikes against two military posts at the country’s northwestern border with Afghanistan. The death of Osama Bin Ladenand the circumstances that allowed him to reside quietly in a three-story house on the edge of the Pakistani town of Abbott Abad, which houses military garrisons, have sharply increased tensions between the American and Pakistani governments.
Pakistani compulsion and its geo-political location was well exploited by US for its own strategic needs. U.S otherwise needed a partner in South Asia, which could act as a counter weight against the spread of Communism. Indian refusal to become US ally in 1949 left US with no option, but to make Pakistan as its partner. Unfortunately, this strategic convergence of interests mostly benefited the United States. US got enough space for spying and limiting the activities of its ideological opponent, throughout during the period of cold war. During the entire duration of this partnership, the gains for Pakistan however, were less as compared to its sufferance. Now, once as a twist of history, there is a convergence of interests of both countries once again, let there be a realistic Pak-US partnership on the longer terms? This is only possible once both sides will respect each other’s interests on the basis of mutuality. The major partner will have to play the major role, as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton assured that, this time US would not abandon Pakistan.

“We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them”

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 20:36:00 +0000

Pakistan was founded on the basis of religious nationalism. Its other two neighbors Iran and Afghanistan were never professed as hostile states. But India as non-Muslim neighbor with whom Pakistan had fought a war in beginning of its creation has become a constant threat towards the national security of Pakistan. A high degree of mistrust and insecurity had shaped the political relations between India and Pakistan.

Regarding the issue of national security, Pakistan has embarked upon the policy of arms race since its creation. 60 years of its independence are wasted in this race of national security. Pakistan priorities are defence related not development related. The ‘stated’ defence budget for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 is likely to be Rs495 billion, an increase of Rs53 billion or 12 per cent over the previous year’s ‘stated’ budget
Defence budgets have never been debated in Parliament and are always assumed to be a given during the presentation of the annual money bill. Why are we least concerned about debating our defense budget in Parliament?? Is there no need of discussing it?? Or this is the sacred testimonial which cannot be touched??? In the case of India, he is also doing the same. Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee, presenting the 2011-2012 budget to parliament, set the military budget at just over 1.64 trillion rupees ($36.28 billion), up from last year’s 1.47 trillion rupees. Last year the increase was about 4 percent in military budget. India considers China as his greatest rival. China is the real long-term challenge on the strategic horizon and India’s security planning is geared toward it. India is also worried and anxious about sino-pak relations. Pakistan is uncomfortable over India’s propinquity to Afghanistan.
So the relationship between the two neighboring and hostile countries owes a great deal of mistrust. Terrorism, Indus water treaty and Kashmir Issue are the commonly used issues which hinders in bilateral relations and stumbling peace process between the two countries. November 2008 attacks were across Mumbai, India’s largest city. The sole captured terrorist, Ajmal Kasab claimed the attackers were of the Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Pakistan-based militant organisation. Apart from other permanent issues including the thorny dispute of Kashmir which has always been used by India to malign and pressurize Pakistan, water of rivers has become a matter of life and death for every Pakistani as New Delhi has continuously been employing it as a tool of terrorism to blackmail Pakistan. Indian diplomacy of water terrorism could also be judged from a latest development. Reports suggest that India has secretly offered technical assistance to the Afghan government in order to construct a dam over Kabul River which is a main water contributor to Indus River. Pakistan has already been facing with a continued phenomenon of terrorism like suicide attacks, bomblasts etc., committed by the militants who enter our country from Afghanistan where Indian secret intelligence agency, RAW has established training centers for anti-Pakistan activities.

Now granting India MFN status signals a shift in Pakistani Policy towards India. Recent developments like Pakistan’s decision to grant Most Favoured Nation status to India, Islamabad’s appreciation of the Indian cooperation to secure a permanent UN seat, and releasing the Indian Army helicopter that flew across the Line of Control suggests a sense of geniality. The MFN designation means that Pakistan will not impose any special barriers on its trade with India and will treat India as it treats any other country. India has already granted Pakistan MFN status.
Residents of Kashmir are concerned that granting India MFN status will put the Kashmir problem in abeyance. But in this case, it is Pakistan who has to decide its pros and cons. Islamic ideology has to get out of Indo-Pak relations; else problems will continue for ever. What to talk of Hindus, not even a single Indian Muslim supports the so called Kashmir cause. Therefore it’s the will of 180 million Pakistanis verses 1.20 billion Indians. Critical mass of India is so large that she can withstand problems like Kashmir but not Pakistan. Similar size insurgency will rip apart Pakistan, but not India. Therefore in any Indo-Pak conflict it will Pakistan who will suffer the most. Tis best to weigh the enemy more mighty than he seems.

What if I don’t win

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sun, 05 Feb 2012 08:59:00 +0000

By Mahjabeen Mehboob Raja
Oh my God, what if I don’t win?”
This is one of ours greatest fears while going to achieve something. Everything we do is to be successful but the fear of losing remains always the same. It grows big and becomes a monster one day and kills all our positive feelings regarding success. Those who take interest in playing Chess exactly know this that no one has ever won a game of chess by moving forward only, sometimes you have to move backward to get a better step forward. While reading one day about success I came across a saying of – Thomas J. Watson in which he beautifully explained the formula of success. I am sharing it with you people here.

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.” .”
Formula of success is different for everyone. But the people around you will always look for the outcome. When someone looks at our success he or she thinks it very big but they forget to count those little victories on which our success rests upon. Success does not come at once. It involves thousands of sleepless nights and unlimited dreams and obviously your strong determination and will power which stands by with you in those hard times, when people says O, you lost again? Always remember a successful campaign riddled with troubles and failures. People think that to achieve certain goals is success but success is journey which never ends you keep on going and achieving little victories. For example a person worth talented wins marathon race, people will appreciate him only for his success at the moment they will no more interested in the struggle he made to win this game nor they will think about the hardships which he faced .All successful people had faced hard times in their lives but people will look at how it turned out for them, in the end. Dale Carnegie wrote a best-selling book titled How to Win Friends and Influence People. One of the key premises of this book was that everyone’s favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name.
What we tend to do is confirm our greatest fears and then overcome them. To win a race, you don’t necessarily have to do your best – to win a race; you simply have to do better than everyone else.Things may not start too well but your hard work and continuous struggle will make the ending a memorable one because “Winning isn’t everything, but the will to win is.” There is not one path to success, but many. Choose one, stay on it, and you’ll eventually reach your destination. All you have to own yourself with all successes and failures, work hard, stick to your aim and be optimistic that your are a champion and one day you will rise and shine.

To,

The Chairman

National Accountability Bureau

Subject: Recruitment Criteria in NAB for recent advertised jobs

Respected Sir,

It is to bring in your knowledge that eligibility criteria for recent jobs in National Accountability Bureau does not allow thousands of competent candidates of Pakistan that hold Masters degree in various disciplines such as International Relation ,Political Science, Criminology and Sociology to compete for the jobs. Restricting qualifications to MBA, BBA and LLB degrees would not be injustice with competent students who are looking for jobs on merit and intending to be an honest officer? For this, I have also written a letter in Dawn Newspaper that published on 23/11/2011 of which copy is also attached with this application.

Respected sir, finally and ultimately you have to decide what eligibility criteria should be for the announced jobs yet being one of the strivers and hard workers of Pakistan, I beg to request you that either allow all masters degree holders to apply for recent announced posts or conduct an open merit exam through Federal Public Service Commission so that competent and honest candidates be selected on merit and work as countrymen in NAB.

Yours obediently

Darkness after a long struggle

SINCE the revival of democracy after the dictatorial rule, the real image of merit has been tarnished. Jobs are being given on the basis of political affiliations or seats are being divided among coalition partners in the name of consensus policy.
Did we come on the streets for this democracy? Those who are unable to write a simple letter or application have been given high cadre jobs in various government departments and development authorities.
Is this not the greatest cause of bad governance? We, the Pakistani people, are really emotional. Despite witnessing history, we go on making blunders by voting for those who forget their voters after occupying key posts and ministries.
If Pakistani people want to work for the betterment of good governance and stability of this country, they must think a thousand times before casting a vote to any political party or the day is not far when we will be having a civil war.

Waiting for MA results

SHAH Abdul Latif University conducted MA final (private) examinations for various disciplines on Feb 20. Over five months have passed but so far the result has not been announced. Needless to mention, this time the university had conducted MA final examinations after a delay of six months.
Either it is inefficiency of the university administration or it does not have enough staff to assess thousands of students. The university earns millions of rupees every year through examining the candidates.
This lackadaisical approach, coupled with a delay in assessment, prevents students from acquiring further education, apart from being a hurdle in getting jobs.
The chancellor and the vice-chancellor are requested to ask the authorities concerned to announce results as early as possible.

Plea to hold mukhtiarkar exams

THE Sindh Public Service Commission`s department of recruiting officers on the basis of merit in different departments has been allegedly politicised.

Through these columns I would like to remind senior officials of the revenue department that the mukhtiarkar examinations have not been conducted for many years though 100 seats are lying vacant.

Owing to political influence, these seats have remained vacant. Forms have been filled thrice but the date and the venue have never been announced.

Moreover, according to the SPSC officials, about 5,000 forms have been filled for this post. Therefore, senior officials of the department concerned should pay heed to this issue and fill the seats on merit.

HOW TO EXPLOIT EVERLASTING TREASURE OF KNOWLEDGE?

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 20:48:00 +0000

Waqar Abro and Siraj Memon

There has not been a single ruler in the world that has emerged from the masses without sinking into the ocean of books. No one can deny the importance of books, and these are the books which have changed the economies of the world from socialism or capitalism into knowledge based economies. Now, the world is moving towards the knowledge based economies, and the experts of social sciences are claiming that the future of the world powers will highly be dependable on the educated population. And, the goals can not be achieved with out the effective and leading role of libraries.

Unfortunately, Pakistan is lagging behind in the race of exploiting treasures of knowledge- libraries. The European and other western states are on the line to make library as a significant part of their cultures as we celebrate cultural days. Hence, in the same way, library days will be celebrated to highlight the importance of the library and empower the nations with power of knowledge.

The role of library is very important in the development of civilized and educated societies. Why libraries in Pakistan are in dilapidated conditions? Why the readers` interest is decreasing? Why there is not legislation for libraries to keep them abreast with the today’s information age? There are other questions too that are wriggling in the mind, but we people are responsible in not cultivating the library culture at large. The government and non-governmental organizations are also equally criminal for this huge catastrophe. Needless to say that despite possessing human resources in enormous amount, potential of students has been misused in our country, and in spite of depicting attention of the students towards libraries that have less bad effects, are motivated towards the technological age.

Now the question raises what concrete step to be taken to take advantage of treasure of knowledge and make it more glitter, influential, sweeter and purposeful for all.

Firstly, the law should be legislated for National policy of libraries of which most important stance to promote libraries culture at grass root level, be considered.

Secondly, there should be a separate directorate in the ministry of education.

Thirdly, existing libraries should be restructured- easy access to the latest books, should be opened 24/7 like in Singapore, Sri Lanka and the USA.

Fourthly, the role of teachers and educational institutions should be used as a catalyst for backing up the library culture.

Fifthly, financial stability is the backbone of all institutions. However, funds can be raised through the advertisement and sponsorship of the private and public firms.

Sixthly, libraries should be established at the ratio of 180 million/0.5 million at the minimum level.

Lastly, the role of media and non governmental organization should be devised for creating awareness for the readership. Moreover, it has been observed that communities libraries are benefiting a certain class, and that should be discouraged. The pleasure of reading books is sweater than the pleasure of reading on the electronic devices. However, campaigns and seminars must be organized to increase the numbers of readers. Although, associations like PLA (Pakistan Library Association) has not played its pivotal role for increasing the readership and augmenting standard of libraries.

In the 7^th century, the Muslim scientist in the dark ages emerged due to the effective role of libraries and educational societies, which not only lit the world and opened the doors for other developed states to exploit the unending treasure of knowledge, but also laid the foundations of many natural and social science disciplines. Therefore, it has become the need of the hour to regain the same lost glory again through above mentioned measures in order to bring out our motherland out of the shadowy world.

Are we just Muslims?

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Fri, 22 Apr 2011 19:13:00 +0000

Muslims are those who are bound to follow religious binding in order to be real followers of Islam that is best religion amongst all in this existing world.
Realistically speaking,Muslims,particularly who,are followers of last prophet,have been declared best people among all 1400 years ago because after putting an end to the prophet-hood by Allah,the duty of spreading religion,would be destined to the followers of last prophet therefore,Jesus(Hazrat Isa),Requested Allah to send him back as a follower of last prophet in this world after end of his life.
Without the shadow of doubt, Every Prophet before Hazrat Mohammad (PBUH),praised him and told to their people that there would be a prophet who will be best amongst all.
Are we really followers of our last prophet? Are we doing what was destined to us? are we really best people amongst all?
These questions do not allow me to catch some Zs as i notice, we have become materialist and think much about this world instead of unending world where we all will stay after our death.
Allah for the sake of last prophet,bestowed us countless blessing in different human and natural resources forms despite that presently Muslims are appearing as hopeless people around the whole world.
Inspite of having world's 70% natural resources,our Muslim brothers,are in the doldrums and remain below the poverty line owing to dearth of unity,consensus,leadership vacuum,unexploited natural and human resources,Intra-states conflicts,sectarianism,and gauging of cast and creed.
Needless to say that at the last sermon of our last prophet whom we consider our best teacher,preacher and a mercy in the form of incarnation for all people,passed the following worlds.
O’ People! Every Muslim is the brother of every other Muslim, and all the
Muslims form one brotherhood. And your slaves; see that you feed them with
such food as you eat yourselves, and clothe them with the clothes that you
yourselves wear.

Do we follow what is written above? Do we treat our brothers,friends,beloved ones,and poor people in gentle way?

O’ people! Verily you have got certain rights over your women and your
women have certain rights over you. It is your right upon them to honour
their conjugal rights, and not to commit acts of impropriety, which if
they do, you are authorised by Allah to separate them from your beds amd
chastise them, but not severely, and if they refrain, then clothe and feed
them properly.
Do we give due right to our women? Do we chastise them whenever they commit an offence or we just call it a sense of moderation whenever our sisters,wives and female friends have a relationship with any other man?
O’ people! No Prophet would be raised after me and no new Ummah (would be
formed) after you.
Despite knowing that there would be no Ummah after us then we do loathe each other?
Why we create division in our faith by creating different methods of offering worship?
Whenever our demands and means are not fulfilled we grow unconscious and start misusing concept of our religious by launching Jihads against faultless people.
Have not we tarnished the real image of Islam? Are not we just Muslims?

Let him that is present, convey it unto him who is absent, for many people
to whom the message is conveyed may be more mindful of it than the
audience.
And if you were asked about me, what would you say?"
They answered, "We bear witness that you have conveyed the trust (of
religion) and discharged your ministry of Prophethood and looked to our
welfare."
Thereupon Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) lifted his forefinger
towards the sky and then pointing towards people said:
"O’ Lord: Bear Thou witness unto it.
O’ Lord: Bear Thou witness unto it."
Think,what will we say to our lord when our deeds and actions are gauged on the day of judgement?
Our hands,eyes,fingers and each and every organ will spew veracity in the court of Allah,do we think before using invective language against anyone that our tongue would be our witness on the day of judgement?
Take heed not to go astray after me and strike one another’s necks. He who
(amongst you) has any trust with him, he must return it to its owner.

Did we not strike our necks just after him? How could people forget before launching war against Hazrat Imam Hussain who was grand-son of last prophet? The prophet who asked mercy for Muslim Ummah,who requested Allah not to burden his community by asking people to offer 50 times Salah in a day which he himself reduced to five?
Oh people Allah will never forgive you,Whether you or i,if commit any sin,will be accounted for our deeds on the day of judgement.
Thus,Instead of being just Muslim i would suggest to my readers to be wholeheartedly Muslim and follow what has been suggested to them in the QURAN and Sunnah.

The Drunkard Disciple

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Wed, 09 Feb 2011 13:04:00 +0000

A master had hundreds of disciples. They all prayed at the right time, except one, who was always drunk.
The master was growing old. Some of the more virtuous pupils began to wonder who would be the new leader of the group, the one who would receive the important secrets of the Tradition.

On the eve of his death, however, the master called the drunkard disciple and revealed the hidden secrets to him.
A veritable revolt broke out among the others.“How shameful!” they cried in the streets, “We have sacrificed ourselves for the wrong master, one who can’t see our qualities.”

Hearing the commotion outside, the dying master remarked, “I had to pass on these secrets to a man that I knew well. All my pupils are very virtuous, and showed only their qualities. That is dangerous, for virtue often serves to hide vanity, pride and intolerance. That is why I chose the only disciple whom I know really well, since I can see his defect: drunkenness.”

Comparison of Global Warming with Human Nature

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sat, 18 Dec 2010 23:39:00 +0000

In this advanced world the issue of Global Warming is not unfamiliar with anyone. All people living across the world are well aware from this devastation just because of media. But, have we ever observed the similarity existing between human nature and global warming?

According to my observation there is not a big difference between the sudden change of seasons and behavior of human, unprecedented floods and tyrannically usage of power, rising of sea level and sudden change of human actions, warming of earth and deterioration of humanity.

Many stances have been taken for desisting this lingering issue (global warming) but have we ever been witnessed with a single step that had been taken for fighting against the human nature?

How many Copenhagen summits took place in this regard?

How many Kyoto protocol and Bali summits were signed?

How many times Ban kin moon shouted over this devastation? If he had taken some actions against it then people of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, Kashmir, Sudan, Kosovo, and Chechnya would not have been met with the tragic fate.

It goes without saying that whatever happens in this world just because of human nature.

States, which are being governed by the people, are rapidly increasing their armaments, which not only create a hurdle for the atmosphere but also against the human beings.

If our so called religious orthodox had taken some steps against the human nature then mass killing of naïve people by Stalin, Bush, Mushrraf, Hitler, and Saddam would not have occurred.

Needless to say that nature of human beings is not in their control because it’s a natural phenomena that human always wishes to be more powerful, wealthier, dominant, and superior over others for this the issue of global warming prevails in this world.

Despite knowing the temperature of earth is increasing from 2 degree centigrade human beings are throwing more and more carbon dioxide than before into the atmosphere.

What is deforestation? Does it have any relation with poverty?

What is advancement in vehicles? Are vehicle companies just considering their profit or they do think about the earth warming?

How fossil fuels are being used? Who uses them? For what they are used?

Do we belong to the earth or the earth belongs to us?

Should we take care of this planet or the earth should take care of us?

Realistically speaking, if the earth would be more warmed and unbearable for the living organism then power and domination of USA would be no more, the status of becoming economically powerful for China will be futile, the theory of expansionism and Gdp growth of India will be ineffective.

Thus, it can be concluded that before making some measures to stop the biggest cause of earth warming we should bring some reforms for changing the human nature which is not only dangerous for the atmosphere but also against the all living organisms.

The Real Teachers

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 14:07:00 +0000

As the juvenile age passes, the sense of thinking, meditating, prognosticating and acting also grows up with the age of a human. Human beings are instead of giving due respect to their actual teachers, are paying heed over lingua franca.
It is the real teachers who not only teach us how to talk, walk, chat, and move but also give us a method of leading life.
Have we every thought about these real teachers? Have we ever praised their role?
Have they been discussed in books? Have they ever received plaudits for such things, which could have been unknown to us, but they were known due to them?

Have we ever portrayed their positive picture in our society?

Undoubtedly, The real teachers are our parents who not only ask us in the teen age that not to waste your time by playing games untimely but also suggest us to follow the right path.

The biggest responsibility of teaching lie upon the shoulders of our mother who not only teaches us how to talk, walk, eat, chat, and behave but also requests us to acquire education. While rest of the responsibilities lie upon the shoulders of our father who not only burns in the midnight oil for feeding us properly but also holds our last finger while taking us to the school in the early morning.

It goes without saying that most of the human beings do forget to take care of their early teachers when they become faint, when their fingers get numb, when their eyes cannot see properly, when their hairs become white, when their face appears pale, and when they become lame.

Needless to say that everyone’s first school is home where he who learns many things from language, manners, and culture to humanity ethics.

It is reported that at the time of natural birth a child is a Muslims but it is the parents who not only change his religion accordingly but also change his faith according to their own.

No doubt, there is no religion, which has proposed any theory against the parents.

All religions are greatly emphasizing to respect your parents.

Mughirah bin Shu'bah(ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) said, "verily, Allah forbids you from disobeying your parents."

Anas(ra) related that Rasulullah(saw) said, "Verily, Heaven lies under the feet of our mother."

It is worth mentioning that before the advent of industrial revolution people had great affection for their parents but after the occurrence of cutthroat concept coined by capitalist world, has completely tarnished the image of sincerity and amity. Everyone’s approach becomes a materialistic and self-egotistic in this world. Greediness started booming while the quality of being true started deteriorating in this world.

For this, parents have to face the negligence of their children who instead of respect them, are becoming demon incarnates.

Honestly speaking, people living in the east are still doing utmost for their parents while people who live in the west do not adhere this concept wholeheartedly.

A question may be arising here in reader’s mind that why there is massive deference between east and west in this regards; the best answer for this, is that, people who live in the east are more loving, caring, honest, sincere, and trustworthy than those who live in the west because all the apostles and prophets came in the east instead of west.

Though, many people living in the east are not only deteriorating the concept of humanity yet also distorting the actual image of their religion by following the divine law in a cruel way which has no room in the religion.

Last but not the least, People should not give much importance to capitalist or communist approach rather they should follow what, has been suggested to them in their own religion; whether it would be Islam or any other because there is no religion which is against the above discussed ideology.

Journey to Punjab

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 20:40:00 +0000

A couple of days ago,for the very first time,I happened to pay visit at one of the four units of federation of Pakistan named as Punjab where i met with different people,speaking different languages,holding different cultural and traditional ethics,were not only hospitable but also loving and caring.
Honestly speaking, The concept of ethnicity prevailing in our country,is one of the biggest causes of amity vacuum amongst people living in the units therefore people instead of reckoning themselves as Pakistani,are posing up themselves as Sindhi,Punjabi Pathans and blah blah.
The Racism method of consideration is not only creating hatred feelings among themselves but also distorting the concept of brotherhood.
Anyhow, Whatever i had observed while being there, is described below :
There is no physical difference between Punjabi and Sindhi both are alike
Siraiki and Punjabi languages have not much difference in the language script
Punjabi people are as hospitable as Sindhies and Pathans.

Thus, It goes without saying that i visited almost 10 cities of Punjab excluding remote areas.Their names were: Shakargarh ,Naarowal ,Nena kot, Bahawalpur, Lahore, Rahim yar khan ,Sadiqabad ,Khanewal ,Mureed pur, and Sahiwal..

Doctor Qamar-Uz-Zaman Yousafzai's golden words

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sun, 03 Oct 2010 21:53:00 +0000

It was really astonishing event for me when i happened to receive a page containing eulogies and unbelievable remarks in which my studentship was highlighted by a great personality.Truthfully,Once i asked to my teacher (Doctor Qamar-Uz-Zaman Yousafzai) for Css that how did he find me as a student.He went on to say that he would pass comments over me and two days ago he has handed over the following pages to me.

Undoubtedly,I don't deserve for such a great remarks yet it is incomprehensible what did he find in me.
Anyhow,I would be remained thankful to him till the end of my live for helping me in my study period.

The Real Terrorist Part-2

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 00:01:00 +0000

Needless to say,our society is the mother of all crimes despite of knowing the role of previous civilizations in which the consequences of what they had done,have been mooted not only in historic books but also in sacred books,do not last any impact upon the mammons. Historically Speaking,When Hazrat Adam and bibi Hawwah(eve) were banished from the jannah(heaven)and sent down the earth where they had given birth to a number of children.Their first children were Qabeel and Habeel ,Qabeel(Cain) killed Habeel (Abel) because Allah (swt) revealed to Adam (PBUH) to pass on the weights of Prophethood to Habeel. Qabeel grew jealous of his younger brother. He objected to his father that "I am older than him. Therefore, I'm more rightful to prophethood than he is."There might be some narrations and ahadeeth indicating that this was the reason for his murder, but apparently they are all weak and disregarded by the scholars.
Was his mean more important than the life of his brother? Certainly not but he fulfilled it.
The Prophet [Muhammed (SAW)] said, "No human being is killed unjustly, but a part of responsibility for the crime is laid on the first son of Adam who invented the tradition of killing (murdering) on the earth. (It is said that he was Qabeel). [Sahih Bukhari. Narrated by 'Abdullah]

The first society at the time of Adam was witnessed with injustice,rapacity,hoggish and betray which unavoidably helped satan in his mission to the some extent.
Candidly,the most important factor behind the cause of terrorist activities,is certainly mean which per se belongs to nature of Satan (Evil) who put it forward when Allah asked him for prostration of adam but he denied to prostrate him and fulfilled his mean by labeling himself as satan who was known before as Ibless a best angle due to massive workship.
Similarly,our society consisted of human beings,can harm anyone,can demoralise such people who have less money and status than others,are also given must respect than the deserving people.
Why this monopoly emerges everywhere? we are witnessed that faultless people are dilevering injustice while evildoers are delivering timely justice.why our people have forgotten that whatever they are doing,will make them accountable on the day of judgement? despite of knowing that it is the policy of satan then why they are following it?what does it mean that a person,has less status in our society,cannot be given much respect as compared to such person who is having a horde of gold and money why?

Justice is the great end of civil society.

(DAVID DUDLEY FIELD)

We must reform society before we can reform ourselves.

(GEORGE BERNARD SHAW)

Role played by George Bush,Stalin,Hitler,Mao and pakistani the then president pervaiz musharraf,happened to receive plaudits from the society for making a properous and joyous period for those whose means were fulfilling.Rather,ask to grave-diggers that how many graves have been digged by them,what was the condition of the death bodies,how ruthlessly people were mutiliated.Same as,ask this to those who lost their beloved ones durring their period.

Moreover,there are many correlated examples which are ample to declare that society is "The Real Terrorist".

What is talibanisation? who made them? which countries had declared them as most honourable community of this planet when they launched onslaught upon communist at Afghanistan? who supported them? from where they get weapons,finance,assiatance and who provide them shelter?

What is 9/11 ? Where is thomson who was chairman of the enquiry commission of world trade centre? where are those videos on which basis thomson declared "Mossad and CIA" as WTC attack was their home-work? Where are mass destruction weapons in Iraq? Why developed nations take this into account that those nations which are still developing,having lower status and value than them? who is behind the cause of Global Warming? Why Obama was seen as flinch at compahagen summit? Why muslims are following the foot steps of infidals? Why U.S.A President Obama,has been given Noble Peace Award? Why jews have started cyber war against the faith of the muslims? why jews are busy in blasphemous acts?

despite of holding 70% world's wealth why 57 muslim countries are sound-sleeping? where is muslim's toothless tiger OIC? are muslims called only for congregation on 10th shawal for performing hajj or they were asked to be united whenever their faith would be under attack if yes then why muslims do not take actions against wrong-doers? What is freedom of speech? Why media is playing the policy of bay of the pigs? Why Relations are made on the basis of interest? why do not we apply it by following the concept of humanity?

It goes without saying,whatever has been mentioned above,is a part of the society which can not be changed very easily.however,through this article,i can give a few measures to the people who are really determined to work for betterment of society.

(i)Brotherhood concept should be adhered (ii)Honesty must given top priority(iii)Justice must be dilevered to everyone(iv)racism concept should be abolished (v)peace should be achieved at any cost (vi)Education with actual practice (vii)concept of equality must be followed (viii)materialism should not be given priority (ix) Evil-doers must be given dozes of love and they must be reminded what is being taught to them in divine law(x)rights of people must be protected(xi)Collective efforts must be taken whenever evil-doers exist in our society (xii)People are advised to read their sacred books very carefully because there is no religion which is against the concept of humanity.

The Real Terrorist Part-1

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 20:46:00 +0000

The term terrorist means to terrorise someone by using several types of techniques such as Weaponising,black-mailing,Torchering,kidnapping,Suicide Bombing,indiscriminately-killing, and target-killing. The person who is following the above mentioned techniques,is undoubtedly a demon incarnate who does not take into account the concept of humanity while adhering these techniques.

Have we ever thought that a human who is desisting the breathe of other human,has been met with injustice? why does not he think before killing a human? which problems have made him a devil? how dares he blow himself up? why does not he take shortcomings as encouragement and working hard for fulfulling his wishes?

Undoubtedly,our society is "The Real Terrorist" which creates conspiracies against those who have the same physical structure,having same organs,Religion and same lifestyle.

Our modern society is engaged in polishing and decorating the cage in which man is kept imprisoned

(Swami Nirmalananda Enlightened Anarchism)

The person who is terrorising another living organism,can never be called as human because there is no religion which prescribe its followers to kill such people who have done nothing,who are faultless,who are as simple as a new born baby but the cruel person can be as good as a pious if our society intends to pacify him by quoting divine verses,by letting him know the worth of a human,treating with him in kindness and letting down his animosity by following the techniques of love which per se is shapeless but strongest and lasting more impact than a nuclear bomb.

Despite of the fact that,our society is hatching plots against those people who have no religion,have no sense of humour at all,are following peculiar behaviour and in retaliation they are putting on the society in the doldrum.

Where we are going on? why are we being called on as muslims( the followers of such religion which means Peace) Why are we being trapped easily into the techniques of Devil? Why our Faith,has become completely currupt? these questions do not allow me to catch some Zs.
Calling spade and spade,our society is the mother of evil which hugs him wholeheartedly however it is not big deal for him to ask our society for dancing over his tunes.

Honestly speaking,Nelson Mandela was negro man of Africa,had been declared by the people as terrorist under charge of being Anti-Apartheid activist.Therefore,he was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to life in prison where he served 27 years in gaol later on he was released on 11th february in 1990 and promulgated as "MAN OF PEACE" by our society.Reportedly,he was given more than 250 awards including Noble award for peace,shown clearly how rubbish is our society and its people.

On account of this, We prescribed for the children of Israel that whosoever killed a person — unless it be for killing a person or for creating disorder in the land — it shall be as if he had killed all mankind; and whoso gave life to one, it shall be as if he had given life to all mankind. And Our Messengers came to them with clear Signs, yet even after that, many of them commit excesses in the land.

(Quran : 5 : 32 )

Shockingly and shamefully speaking,We have been given many things by our lord not for once but for many a times inspite of that we follow the Satan who is our true Foe,who only means to gain his aim by provoking us and it is our society which knows very well his ambitions,has been following him since the First human Hazrat Adam,and blatantly the faith over the lord of the heavens,earth and universe is being demolishing.

Narrated by Abu Hurraira :

While the Prophet was saying something in a gathering,a bedouin came and asked him when would the hour Dooms day take place? Allah's Apostle continued his talk,so some people said that Allah's Apostle had heard the question,but did not like what that bedouin had asked.some of them said that Allah's Apostle had not heard it.when the Prophet finished his speech,he said where is the questioner who enquired about the the hour (Dooms Day)? the bedouin said " i am here",O Allah's Apostle. The Prophet said "when honesty is lost then wait for the hour doomsday".Then Bedouin said " how that will be lost? The Propher said "when the power and authority comes in the hand of unfit persons,then wait for the hour(Dooms Day)"

Undoubtedly,Honesty has lost its actual face and it has become a policy in our society while Power and authority have been given to unfit people who are children of heller and following his foot steps impressively and shamelessly.

Therefore,they do advocate the venality by claiming that a person who is holding a gun with the intentions of robbery is a criminal while an officer in any certain department,has been busy day and night for dazing the concept of humanity into pieces in the form of Nepotism,Curruption,despotism,Cronyism and mal-practice,is called as a humble human.Rather,he would be more accountable than the person who had held weapon on the day of the judgement due to massive responsibilities and pen (which is mightier than the sword) and this is pen which was the weapon of our lord,who used it against many civilizations,against wrongdoers and against the betterment of life of the people in the form of Books namely "Torah,Zabour,Injeel and Quran.

Pictures Of My Friends

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sat, 24 Jul 2010 23:01:00 +0000

While meditating something,one notion appeared in my mind : pictures of my friends should be compiled in the form of a video with a thought provoking backgroung music.
Therefore,i made the following video.

Videos Of Spiritual Journey

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 16:50:00 +0000

Few weeks ago,my friends and i have paid visit at the Tombs of "Qalandar Lal Shahbaz and Shah Abdul Bhittai" where we happened to notice many things and made videos of our tour,are posted below.

The following videos were made at the tomb of great sindhi poet "Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai".

Bulleh Shah (The Sufi and The Beacon of peace)

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 20:30:00 +0000

Bulleh Shah was born in a small village located somewhere in Uch sharif (1680) bahawalpur punjab,his real name was "Abdullah Shah" and it is reported that he passed away in the age of 77 years at "Kasoor" Punjab.

It goes without saying,his father Shah Mohammad Darwaish was a preacher as well as teacher in the village mosque who later on got job in "Pandoke" at Kasoor.

Moreover,Bulleh Shah received his early education at pandoke and moved to kasoor for higher education.

Interestingly,Shah Inayat Qadri an eminent Sufi Saint was his spritual teacher who was hailing from Arain caste.where as,Bulleh shah was hailing from Syed caste which has had much respect and status than other castes in our society,was a disciple of Arain,shows clearly that caste is nothing in front of Allah.

Bullah has fallen in love with the Lord.

He has given his life and body as earnest.

His Lord and Master is Shah Inayat

who has captivated his heart."

Undoubtedly,Bulleh Shah had a strong religious family background which certainly helped him when he was deeply involved in spirituality.

Candidly,He represented himself off by his writing as "Humanist".It is noticed when one ponders over his words whatever has been discussed by the poet was not his social problem rather issue of the reader.however,it depicts much attention of the readers and asking them to follow the simplicity and lead their life in spirituality.Unavoidably,Mullahs do not like his words which are damn against the Islamic orthodoxy as well as against the belief because Mullahs are claiming that best way of becoming friend of Allah,is Namaz(prayer) which is mainly concerned with actions only not with the intensions while this Sufi is asking people to offer namaz(prayer) in such way in which you show your deeply involvement while communicating with Allah instead of moving yourself off,thinking about others while offering it and hatching plots against people like Mullahs.There is a poetry of Bulleh Shah in which he says that Allah(God) has never been found in books(Holy scripture),in mosques,in Mandirs,In Kabah,in skies,in minarets rather Allah(God) lives in humans heart(Bulleh shah overtly claimed it).

Once a Sikh was galloping in the surrounding areas of a muslim village who later on was killed by muslims however Sikh community retaliated it and killed a number of muslims.
On the incident,Bulleh Shah denounced that this controvery of killing a sikh who was faultless,has been created by Mullahs and Mufties of Pandoke.Therefore,he went agains them.

You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved!

You alone exist, I do not!

Like the shadow of a house in ruins,

I revolve in my own mind.

If I speak, you speak with me:

If I am silent, you are in my mind.

If I sleep, you sleep with me:

If I walk, you are along my path.

Oh Bulleh, the spouse has come to my house:

My life is a sacrifice unto Him.

You alone exist; I do not, O Beloved!

Last but not the least,his belief is consisted of four stages. (I)SHARIAH(PATH). (II)TARIQAT(OBSERVANCE).(III)HAQIQAT(TRUTH) and (IV)MARFAT(UNION).Simplicity and importance of humanity were his appeals to the people.
Undeniably,his belief is not different from the belief of such sufies(Shah Waliullah and Shaikh Ahmed sirhandi etc) who played their pivotal role in the Sub-continent for re-arranging the actual shape of Islam which was distorted by some muslim as well as hindu rulers of that time.
The misconception among the theologians against sufism,is baseless.Sufies are offering more prays than them,leading a peaceful as well as simple life which was the way of our last Prophet while our theologist instead of improving themselves,remain busy in shouting against others.Sufi always remained busy in prayers,in love with their lord and make themselves as forlorn all the time.Neither they know about feeding time nor about clothing nor about scheduling prayer nor about inhumane activies.

My eyes pour out tears !

He left me, and himself he departed;

What fault was there in me ?

Neither at night nor in the day do I sleep in peace;

My eyes pour out tears !

Sharper than swords and spears are the arrows of love !

There is no one as cruel as love ;

This malady no physician can cure.

There is no peace, not for a moment,

So intense is the pain of separation !

O Bullah, if the Lord were to shower

His grace, My days would radically change !

He left me, and himself he departed.

What fault was there in me ?

Melancholic Sufi Singer (Allan Fakir)

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sun, 04 Jul 2010 22:46:00 +0000

Allan Fakir was born in 1932 at a tiny ancient village namely "Aamari" located in district Jamshoro taluka Manjhand Sindh where he spent his childhood life and passed away on 4th july 2000 at Liaquat national hospital karachi.Actually,he was hailing from Mangharhaar family which is amazingly prominent due to singing songs as well as beating drums at wedding nights.

Needless to say,his father was also beating drums and singing traditional songs at wedding nights.Naturally,he was singing melancholic songs in the juvenile age which was provoking his father to unlike him.Basically,he was deprived from mother's love however it was his enthusiasm to find out somebody who could replace it but remained vain.

Therefore,He happened to settle at the Shrine of Shah Abdul Latif bhittai located in Bhitt Shah where he learnt many things such as poetry,Alaap,and way of showing a true love in the form of melodies.Reportedly he had been singing Shah Sahabs Kalam as long as 20 years until meeting "Mumtaz Mirza" who introducted him to Radio Pakistan Hyderabad,was his life's most terrific action.

Shockingly as well as proudly speaking,he never changed his fakiri dress code ever despite of receiving speechless eulogy as well as countless awards.

It goes without saying,he happened to get President award,Shah latif award and many others.

Pertinently,he never portrayed himself off as best "Sufi Singer" of Mehran rather he had been seen as forlorn.

Moreover,he was also patriotic as well as nationalist in this sense that his all performances were observed in sindhi cultural dresses,was a slap on the face of our cultural departmant which had never worked to promote Sindhi Culture which he was observing even at the time of his last breathe in Sindhi Cultural Dress.

Interestingly,whatever he was earning by singing sufi songs,sharing with the poor as well as with other sufies.This generosity was strongest than the uncontrolablle winds and his love with his motherland was higher than the mountains and deeper than the oceans.

Despite of all that his 10th death annivesary was not oberserved by Sindh Cultural department on 4th july 2010 proved that our cultural minister had neither time nor interest to set out his 10th anniversary in the limelight by arranging a cultural show.

Last but not the least,there is no dearth of art in our country but it has never been encouraged neither by previous goverments nor by current.Due to this,our sufi as well as pop singers are turning their attentions towards bollywood where they are paid well and recognizing themselves as best performer at the world level.

This article has been written for paying tribute to great sufi singer Allan fakir.

Honestly speaking,motive of conducting these interviews,is to help out new css aspirants who are facing numerous problems while preparation of css so that by watching below posted interviews they get benefited.

Sab Maya Hay ( Materialism )

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 22:07:00 +0000

Undoubtedly,Maya has various meanings in sanskrit it means as "illusion" while in urdu it has four meanings such as "dhoka"(Betray), "fareeb", "saraab",and it also means "money" .

It has been observed by me,people and society have become completely materialist ,they prefer and pay much attention towards the glittering materialist things like New vehicles,Well-constructed Bungalows and Bank Balance in spite of knowing that the person who is getting much respect in the society ,has been following the foot steps of the "Evil".

Ostensibly,It should have been a task of the society to make corrupt and criminal social animals as faultless but Ah! surprisingly society encourages those who are the followers of Demon rather than letting them know that they would be punished here and hereafter if their deeds remain same.

Society Per se can solve many problems which humans have been facing since the creation of our planet but it has never been observed ever why : no one knows.

Inevitably,Society is the best friend of devil who is also not facing much resistance while provoking others because humans have made themselves not less then an evil just because of leading the path of shadowy and having corrupted their faith.If humans have had not corrupted their faith ,they would not have made successful to demon but what is this ; is a game ,played by the creator in which players are aloof as well as helpless.

Although,we have history as well as several examples of previous marred societies which can be taken into account for making our society as much better as we can but we never ponder over it.

The above posted song "Sab Maya Hay" is overtly throwing light over numerous things which have been already mooted above,has provoked my thought,asking me to do something for the society but Alas! whenever one intentionally helps out the society and its people,would think that the person who is advocating,is their enemy.However,it has become very difficult to turn out the society from the current scenario.

Covertly,every one is thinking of having materialist things instead of making another example for the posterity in which the things have been adhered by our forefathers be discussed so that our future generation,would never make blunders like us.

Shamefully,It is seen today that amity,love,sincerity,truthfulness,passion of a certain things,wife and husband relationship,kinship, and respect are given on the basis of persons materialist status.For instance,a person who is earning 3$ in a single day would not be given that much respect as given to the person earning 10$ in a day and so on.

Moreover,there are three categories in the society such as (i) Upper class (ii)middle class (iii)lower class.these all types have certain living life style.For instance,Upper class will think many a times to have either dinner or lunch with a person ,hailing from lower or middle class same as middle class person does with lower class.The most cruelest class is lower one which faces not only livelihood related issues but also churlish behavior of middle and upper class,is also throwing cold water over it in spite of having the same physical structure,is apathetic to deal like this.

Anyhow,Through this article,i would suggest a few measure to my readers to take a part in my campaign in which i want to change vision of our people who not only distort their life due to lack of education but also about to leave an example for our future generations which is very disastrous.these are the measures (i) Educate people who are living around you (ii)Help out people without taking status concept into account (iii) clean out the perception of materialism from the minds of the people by quoting them Divine acts (iv)Think your society is a part of your family so whatever you can do for your family,should also be done for the society (v) the concept of humanity should also be followed.

Readers are requested to post their comments.

SAARC (The Lackadaisical Organization)

noreply@blogger.com (waqarabro) — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 22:42:00 +0000

South Asia Association for regional Corporation was created in December 1985 its member countries are "Pakistan,India,Bangladesh,Bhutan,Afghanistan,Maldives,Nepal and Srilanka.This region accounts for 23% of the world population,its share in the global GDP is less than 3%, All 8 members trade account for less than 2% of global trade.
Moreover,this region accounts for 1.7% of world exports and 3% of global Fdi inflows.
Reportedly,there are 30% people of the region living below the poverty line while this is the hub of 400 million poor people.
AH! SAARC members are locked in intra-state conflict.This organization has never provided any mechanism to address terrorism,drug trafficking,extremism,and economic related problems to its members.
Although,these specious matters have become a forlorn hope of 1/5th of the humanity.

Needless to mention,16th summit was held in Bhutan in which member states decided that a fore mentioned issues cannot be solved at bilateral level rather these issues should be addressed through joint efforts and such cordial relations as persist among the members of ASEAN,ECO and GCC.
It was decided in the "Islamabad Declaration" held in 2004 by the then President Pervez musharraf and the then premier Vajpaee that their disputes including kashmir will be resolved through a dialogue process which was suspended in November 2008 without solving intra-related issues due to "mumbai carnage".

"SAARC will not turn into just talk shop bhutan premier expressed hope in the 16th summit"

It is reported to note that "SAARC" has been dominated by india (it account for 74%)population of the whole region,its GDP is 75%,trade is 79% and 81% Fdi flow.Due to this,India bears more responsibility to make Saarc as successful.

Painfully,there are lingering issues of water,terrorism and Kashmir between two rival states (Pakistan and india)who have been fighting like cats and dogs in the South Asia whose impact has been lasted upon SAFTA(south Asian free trade agreement) and distorting the future of 1.56 billion people in the region.until relations between above mentioned countries are not normalise the fate of "SAFTA" will not be changed from its predecessors because both countries are largest and economically sound in the region.

Moreover,SAPTA(Sounth Asian preferential trading agreement) was signed in the 7th summit at Dhaka in april 1993,has not been ope-rationalized while South Asia food reserves and South Asian Development Fund have met the same fate.

It was promulgated in the 16th summit that two projects of 300$million will be launched for poverty reduction which certainly improves the life of poor people.

Recently,it was announced in a meeting held at Islamabad that SAARCPOL would be created for desisting the terrorism and drug trafficking problems,was a nice stance though and deserving a plaudits.

It can be summed up as SAARC should be like a Forum where member countries moot not only matters of the region but also underline the causes of bilateral relations so that lingering Indo-Pak disputes can be solved and it should also discuss the issues of peace,security,development with international organization and promote interest of the member countries for preserving the concept of sovereignty.the foremost problem in the SAARC is trust deficit among the member states which leads this organizations towards a murkiest world.

The following measures can make SAARC as an efficient oraganization (i) people to people contact (ii)inter-connectivity (iii) a joint strategy to tackle the climate change,water and food shortages issues (iv) SAFTA AND SAPTA should be operationalised (v) Bilateral and Multi-lateral Trade should be boosted.

One can surely say that if the above measure to be followed wholeheartedly and collectively then the future of 1.56 billion people of the region would be productive as well as glittering.

Scrupulous Deaf and Finesse Dumb Man

Since along time,a person who is unable to speak and listen,has been performing brilliantly in our society.Actually,his name is Amjad,hailing from jhang punjab,had left his home when he was 12 years old because his family was not behaving with him in kind manner rather ignoring him blatantly due to his disability.
However,he left his home and went to lahore where he happened to join a school of disable people in which he had completed his 8th class and left it.
Due to negligency,and lacking financial support,he decided to do work with a labour company where he learnt many things such as wall painting,construction of rooms and communication process at karachi.
Interestingly,he didnot shun off his relatives despite of their choleric behaviour and remained in contact with them by paying visit once a year at their home.

Moreover,This person has been remained very social with the people and the society,he used to sort out basic problems of human such as helping them by providing financial assistance,working for them free of cost and supporting other disable people in the society.
AH! he never showed off apathy in anything of this world,i have noticed his multi-tasking ability which cannot be adhered by able people in this world.
Needless to say,Most of the people in our society are concerned with their own problems and do not help to needy people while this deaf and dumb man has been coming forward with a measureless speed to meet with the needs of people which is a speechless job though.

This adroit person,is communicating with the people by using his hands.Even though,he is holding a cell phone device through which he used to send short messages to his friends,arranging meetings with the people,and asking his friends to talk with his family behalf of him.
Last but not the least,able people should take this person's life into account and must be honest like him,who never took a single buck illegally and they should be good performer in our society like Amjad.
