PEOPLE OF PAKISTAN UNITE! WHY WE NEED A REVOLUTION

When a people begin to develop a conscious they tend to look at the problems around them search resolutions this search leads to the ultimate solution to the world’s problems revolution. Unfortunately for us our nations people are blinded by false promises and insecurities and even though the time is right with all the ingredients present resentment, poverty, injustice and a well aware middle class we have failed to react, overthrowing the old system of governance and form the true basis of democracy rule of the people, by the people and for the people. The time for a people’s revolution is ‘NOW OR NEVER’.
We need to open or eyes and escape the dilemma of waiting for others to take the step, it is time we correct the mistakes of our forefathers and take responsibility to guide our country even if it has been bestowed upon us by the accident of birth away form the road to inevitable annihilation it has taken. We need to change our prospective, attitude towards this land cause it all we have and try strive for change in ideology and implementation from the roots of our society lying amongst the peasants to the ruling hierarchy. We need a complete over haul of the system because in over half a century of our existence our ruling classes have remained the same as they were during the time of the British Raj under feudalistic control along with much of the land and the peasants making up 70% of the population bound to it. None of the pillars of state besides the military are institutions with a distinguishable stature and codes of conduct. Our states structure has bee amended along with a constitution alien to the masses numerous time by successive governments for their private benefits. Our Youth is a group lacking both purpose and organization; we seem not to choose to be Pakistanis but are forced into it by circumstances. Our geo-political position in the world is a curse causing great interest in us which seems to be causing more damage then benefits. Since the unfaithful moment Muhammad Ali Jinnah passed away in the back of an ambulance we have failed to see the rise of any leader capable of uniting the people. Our people starve on the streets, while our leaders feast.
Necessity is the mother of all inventions and even though we lack leaders and the sprit of nationalism amongst us we need to come with something so as to save ourselves, the fittest will survive but our nation seems to sliding the dark abyss from there is no return and only outcome is ruin. The question is how we can change what we see around us when we live in a embodiment of democracy where 25,000 of the population rules over 160 million and plans to do so without giving up easily. In search for torch bearers this nation has turned everywhere but found none capable of rallying us and moving forward in today’s Pakistan. With such complex issues losing faith is not something that is astonishing what we should do is stick to the principles of our nations father Jinnah ‘Unity, Faith and Discipline’ is the only way forward we need to beginning with changes ourselves and making those around aware of the various issues and arose a sense of patriotism and vengeance against these national issues. The changes will be small and pointless but it is every single drop which eventually adds up into becoming an ocean.
