Zara Sochiye!

History shows that all the nations who look forward to their future on the basis of their past and ideology always succeed.

There is an add being advertised on a private channel of Pakistan these days. The content this add shows in the beginning is that “Agar Agay Barhna Hai Toh Alif, Bay, Pay Per Yaakeen Rakhna Hai.” Those people were chosen as subjects for this add who continued their education during difficult circumstances and worked very hard day and night to achieve the greatest post. And today, those people are living a successful life in Pakistan and are Role Models for our youth.

But as soon as this private channel observed that its effort has gained popularity among the public, then another add is shown with a message: “Parhnay likhnay k siwa Pakistan ka matlab kya?”

Apparently, it’s a petty thing but it is totally against the ideology of Pakistan. In this perspective, attempts are being made to change the history of Pakistan. The public is also considering this a reality that if we want to make Pakistan successful and bring it to a certain level, we just have to believe in our education.

“Pakistan Ka Matlab Kya – Laa-E-Laaha Il-Lallah” – It was that historical slogan which laid the foundation of Two Nation Theory. And it was due to this slogan that the struggle of Muslims of the Sub-Continent to attain a separate homeland reached to the heights.

Today, we are trying to alter this slogan. Some nations have such a culture, heritage and certain traditions on the basis of which they retain their specific positions, and it is their identity. It was this slogan that gathered all Muslims of the Sub-Continent, it was this slogan that became the basis of the creation of Pakistan and today, by altering this slogan, Pakistan’s identity is being snatched away from it. The private channel has changed the mindset of the people in such a way that there is a gradual change in the thinking of our public as well.

The progress of nations’ depends upon education but in addition to education, mannerism, justice, and a good leadership is also necessary, due to which the nations’ prosper. Education can make a person professional but it cannot make him a good human being. To be a good human being, it is necessary for a person to have good manners, humane behavior and faithfulness, and on the basis of these things the nations’ move ahead progressively. Along with this slogan, a comparison of Pakistan with other countries has also been shown in this add. One of these countries includes Malaysia. The secret of Malaysia’s progress isn’t just education but a good system, good policies, a great leader like Mahatir Muhammad and a finance minister like Anwar Abrahim, who enhanced the development of Malaysia through the economic policies he introduced in 1991.

If today, Pakistan lags behind the countries like Malaysia and Singapore, it is solely because of corruption and fake degree holders who are enjoying high ranks in Pakistan, who have their degrees with them but there is no sense of morality or loyalty in them and they are camouflaged in corruption from head to toe. If the progress of Pakistan was only based on education, then there might have been any other well-educated Prime Minister other than Shaukat Aziz. Then again, even during his tenure Pakistan did not progress much.

Most of the people harming Pakistan’s economy are those who are Qualified, Well-educated and High Degree Holders. Recently, NADRA has issued a list of the people who were a part of tax evasion. This list includes most of the high degree holders and educated people like doctors, engineers, chartered accountants and many other businessmen. And it is because of these people that Pakistan lags behind the countries like Malaysia, Bangladesh, Singapore and Srilanka. If the foundation of Pakistan had been laid on the basis of just education as the core ingredient, Pakistan would not have been on the map of the World today.

And if we want to see Pakistan progressing and prospering just like Srilanka, Singapore and Malaysia, we need a good leadership and a leader who not only erases corruption but also introduces such policies that lead towards the prosperity of Pakistan, who believes in ALLAH rather than believing in Alif, Bay, Pay. The leader who believes in ALLAH, will never be subversive to Pakistan and Pakistan will start progressing on its own.
