“Strong minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events. Weak minds discuss people”
Pakistan came into existence in 1947 with Islam as an ideological base but with the passage of time and introduction of the western and Indian media in our society, our culture has gone un-islamic and very much confusing for the new generation. What actually this sentence mean “what makes a Pakistani a Pakistani”? It means that by the blessing of Allah and by the efforts of our great heroes, we have our country Pakistan, but we have yet to become good Pakistanis. We have made our wrong image all over the world due to our wrong polices and mistakes done by our immature and uneducated politicians.
Unfortunately, Pakistani media is playing in the hands of outsiders and are hell bent on creating false/confusing information. They are not contributing their efforts towards the true image of the Pakistani social and Islamic values. Now a days, we have divided ourselves into different sectarian classes. We are all involved in Holy Wars. We kill one another on the basis of sects and we play the negative role in our society which gives bad name to Pakistan.
Even during the month Ramadan, a Muslim brother kills another Muslim brother. But then again, since when does terrorists take Ramadan into accounts? They are not even humans, let alone being Muslims.
Due to lawlessness situation which is spoiling the image of Pakistan globally, when ordinary Pakistanis go abroad, then foreigners call them as terrorists. This is what our image has been reduced to. Extremely unfortunate, to say the least.
We are lucky that we have our great army which fights for us every time to save us from terrorists. They never refuse to call whether it’s a natural disaster or saving us from terrorists, or securing our borders. However, a section of our Indian sponsored media is always busy in tainting them with a negative brush.
Following are the measures through which we can reinstate and improve the Pakistani history/Islamic culture.
We should try to teach the Islamic and Pakistan history to new generation. Media should also play a vital role in their daily electronic and print media programs and there should be a complete media access in remote areas of Pakistan. We should introduce our talent in the media so that they can inspire our new generation.
Educated/talented people do not get the appropriate opportunity to employment within Pakistan due to mismanagement and wrong policy of government in this way we are losing our talent as they seek to go overseas in search of better future.
Even students who are well educated and have done their Masters and PhD struggle to get a proper job. The people who have references get the job otherwise ordinary students do not get the job.
At the end, I want to give some suggestions due to which we become the perfect Pakistani and improve the image of Pakistani in the world
We should not indulge ourselves in different sect/groups and treat one another equally. Poverty and violence are unequivocally consuming our youth in different ways and we need to address this issue on a war footing. In this regard, the state should act quickly and bring reforms in public sector educational institutions which at moment are in bad shape.
Similarly, if we are in foreign country, we must follow their rules. Similarly, we should keep our surroundings clean. Show respect to one another especially on internet. Besides all this, we need good governance at central and provincial level which is of course, the most important change that we need at the moment.
