Nice, remember attacks of an ethnic party in Karachi?Remember threats to reporters of Jang recently?Remember when hawks of so-called mullah parties threaten media?Remember attacks on Geo office? We are not always right, we commit errors and mistakes and we should learn to be rational and not try to defend acts of our supporters . We should get out of dhera bazi! All animals are equal but some are more equal!
t is not raising questions against any one's honesty or dishonesty. Going back to history this same Mumtaz Bhutto under Bhutto in 1970's sowed seeds of linguistic hatred and fighting in Sindh and Bhutto supported him despite the riots in city and objections by many cabinet members of that time , (see Dr. Mubasher Hussian's Mirage of Power).I remember Nizam Ud Din Auleya 's saying if you also place thorns in the path of a person who places thorns in your way then in whole world will be thorns.In Sindh no doubt Mumtaz Bhutto is known for sowing seeds of regional biases, but this can prove counter productive in long run.
Media represents the society's views .. albeit in a selective way... The cultural realities of Pakistan can be done away in a flash of eye.
Nice, these conspiracies are our own follies and our own ideas of grandeur and a cliche statement, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.As a student of Pakistan polity, I am amazed at the slogans of democracy , when the power accumulation is only purpose of all the subsequent rulers military or dictators alike!reasons are also politicians but the real culprit the framework of our state based upon colonial ethos and constitutional legacy of Indian Act of 1935. It is based upon contradictions and we always mutilate its face and then claim democracy, security and many many other issues.Conspiracies are easy way to divert attention from our own failures and when we do,nt want to resort to introspection then "conspiracy theory" is the easiest task! and alas Muslims have become the most avid lovers of such theories... liberals and conservatives alike!
eudal society, mullah controlled minds, authoritarian structures of society. Retrogressive attitudes of social expression. Increasing religious extremism. Intolerance, hypocrisy, desire for power accumulation, gender discrimination, caste ridden social fabric,Power hungry elite, militarized society.have you ever researched how organized is the influence of hidden powers but with clear agenda to control the opinion making of our society?
they consider themselves hidden but broader research shows that how the minds in Pakistan are poisoned on the name of ethnicity, religion , politics, language, sectarianism and lot more.Heard of Pavlov's experiments?
Yea, politicians are here targeted especially and singled out. It is wrong and we fail to take overall critical stock of social downfall.
these biases are intrinsic to our fractured and polarized society and lack of common space is being overtaken by jahil mullahs and already media... led by electronic media in pAksiatni society.

Why people are poor?
As to how rich are responsible?
Its answer is in rampant consumerism and fundamental capitalistic mode of speculation and accumulation of wealth and concentration of wealth in a few elites,politicians,bureaucrats, corporate entities, powerful feudal and wealthy corrupt mullahs and all those who exploit the resources of society to enrich themselves at the cost of others.A poor man can not take loan of mere thousands but a mill owner can take billions and run away without paying it even. ( The present bailouts of West are also sophisticated tools of the same mentality).
Knowledge control , power control, elitist social hierarchy deny talented the right to education, health, and a decent code of life.Is the world's resources for few or for whole of humanity?Should a weak person be deprived of whatsoever he has or help him to earn more?Why WTO asks fro Free Trade and rich dole out subsidies of thousands and put pressure on poor to deny this right?Who eats, consumes , wastes resources and then says , it is my skill and then says poor are poor because they do,nt work!
Who controls sources of wealth and who develops public ideas? Who exploits African mines and gold and keeps those poor? Who buys products and raw materials at lower prices and then sells at exorbitant profits ?Who makes laws to legalize the in-just divides of wealth and power structure in society?( I do,nt believe on communist ideology of state control... it is another name of exploitation. )
Who wants to sell GM food to poor people?Who forced farmers to grow coffee in Africa and destroyed local economies and made them dependent upon greed of corporate entities?
Why suddenly prices of oil and food items are going down?Who gambles and speculates in stock exchange?Poor people?Who works hours and hours to produce and who remains poor even after 10-15 years of service but the owners build many more factories?Who wants to sell Lux and Fair n Lovely to poor who have no clean water to drink?
there is old Urdu saying leray fauj nam serkar ka( Military fights but kudos to Government.)!so is our present age, where exploitation is justified on the bases of innovation, free market economy, capitalism and free world.Power is logic here and we should accept this dark fact, if we accept the rot then may be we can try to change it.

Time flies!
Another year has passed and many many more years will pass till the time comes when only love will remain and time will merge with love and will express itself in its glory.
The process and journey continues and the time will keep on changing and perspectives will be happening and unfolding itself in a mosaic of ever changing landscape of our imagination and limitations of our own understanding!
