True Independence Day of Pakistan

Pakistan has recently celebrated its 63rd anniversary along with an unbearable flood
disaster which has affected the whole country badly. Although there area lots of natural
and man made disasters and problems which are have been faced by Pakistanis since
Independence Day.T however, the ratio magnitude of these problems is kept increasing
has increased day by day and generations after generations suffer by them. Problems on
individual level like poverty, unemployment, decline of moral values and ethical
thoughts, and on social level vandalism destruction of social and political institutions,
lack of management, lack of professional approach to meet requirements to overcome
natural disaster etc. On regional and international level Pakistan is although considered
as an only IslamicIslamic democratic nuclear power but with an image of terrorist,
corrupt state which is on the brink of a total failure state.

Actually what Pakistan really needs there is always need is to have an established and
well organized system based upon deeply rooted fair and strict judicial system to run state
affairs a smoothly state affairs. Which sStates which successfully developed such
systems has automatically they become automatically welfare states. For last sixty three
years, Aalmost all of us have always criticized and loathed upon our defective system of
our country for last sixty three years but never seriously tried to repair the loopholes of
this system. Whenever it is asked to people are asked they blamed government for all
defects setting . In this way they themselves free of themselves from all responsibilities
which are bestowed upon them being the of citizenship of their homeland. Most ridicules
ridiculous thing is that by doing this they made themselves indirectly responsible for all
these problems because government is representing them .They chose government in
Elections by votes.

However some more conscience people who realized their responsibilities as citizens felt
guilt. But they became satisfied by saying that an individual can not change the whole
spoil system so for the sake of survival he has to become the part of system. There is no
other option except to accept this defective system.
If the solution of our problems would be exist in written constitution, democratic system
or in revolutionary martial laws then we had to find all solutions until now. We have tried
all of them in past and are experiencing till present. Alas it did not happen. We are still
passing through same those problems perhaps with more intensity than that of our
forefathers faced. If it is thought rationally then it can be concluded that each and every
Pakistani is responsible of such present situation. Infect if we analyzed ourselves as a
nation rationally, we will know that we are all in the imprisonment of our own
personalities and self interests and in imprisonments there is always suffocation in which
we are living. The only way of our survival is to get rid of this imprisonment as soon as
possible. This rational realization can made us once again that motivated nation that won
their free homeland in 1947.We should try best on individual and on social level and
should think how to coup the present disappointed condition of our country.

Here are some suggestions which can be adopted in order to overcome present
circumstances.

• On individual level, every one should be fair and loyal to his country by heart
rather than verbally. It is very easy for us because we called ourselves Muslims
and fairness and loyalty is true symbol of a Muslim. Except of religion point of
view, we Pakistanis always prove loyal and faithful citizens in abroad then why
not we become good and civilized citizens in our own country.
• We should create a sense of ownership in ourselves just like we own our family,
our home then why not we own our country? As every one efforts sincerely for
the benefit of his own family and home, if he perform his duties on his job and
post sincerely then the country will for sure make progress. Every individual
should think that his progress is hidden in the progress of country. This thinking
can be emerge only from evolving the sense of ownership.
• We should eliminate all our religious sects, caste, regional differences which have
weakened us internally like AIDS in last sixty three years. If we succeeded in
doing so, there is no doubt we will think as Pakistani and think for Pakistan which
will be in fact for our own benefit. We will take all national and international
decisions for the sake of national interest solely.
• On social level, there should organize committees on ward and community level.
Each committee will consist of some noble and respected persons who have good
will and good reputation in that specific area, ward or community. Such
committees will be organized in all big, small cities, villages according to ratio of
population. There is no need to built separate structure for this purpose but the
mosques which are already exist in all wards and communities should use for this
purpose.
• Main function of these committees would be to secure the communal interest of
that ward and community. These committees will not only safe guard the rights of
people by solving their routine matters and conflicts which would be helpful to
decrease the burden of courts and police but the people will solve their matters by
themselves. In this way, the involvement of state institutions would be minimized
which would surely decrease the ratio of corruption and bribery in society.
• These committees will also provide support to common man economically.
People of each area will invest money according to their capacities in that
committee. A record will be maintained regarding these investments. When they
need money to establish their own small businesses and home industries they can
take loans from committee with out any interest. This loan would be actually there
own deposited money. They have to pay loan in installments within specific
period. In this way their back up capital money would be save and if they face
business loss or money deficits they could take loan again to support their
businesses again. In short these local committees will play the role of micro
finance banks. People will not cheat with these committees because they have
invested their own money in this way the collective interest will convert into
individual interest in directly. Micro financing has already become popular in
third world countries like India and Bangladesh. By adopting micro financing
poor people will become self relined and self supported. In this way one of the
biggest problems of Pakistan poverty will be controlled and reduced.
• These committees will be helpful for society politically as well. The members
who will organize functions of such committees they would be chosen by people
as their representatives on higher level like in provincial and national assemblies
 as well. These people will be true leaders and representatives of their people
which will have the knowledge of all problems of their respective constituencies
so they will work more efficiently to solve these problems. In Elections people
will vote for those persons which have already done honest work for them and
which have roots among common people. In this way, a sincere and devoted
leadership will be emerged automatically and will fill leadership vacuum in
politics.
• On national level, such leadership which will be select on marit rather than wealth
and power will certainly enjoy the support of people in all national and
international issues. such leadership will represent national interest boldly on all
international forms.

All above mentioned reforms and suggestions can only be implemented only if each
and every individual think as Pakistani and as responsible member of a nation
because ultimately his interest is interconnected with his national interest. If his
country will make progress then GDP of each individual will also increase. When it
happened that day will be consider the true Independence Day of Pakistan. It is
evident by history that only those nations become developed nations which have
sincere and responsible citizens.
Lastly I want to share historical words of Galileo.One day his student André said to
his teacher in dismay due to the desperate circumstances of his country Italy that our
nation is unlucky and unfortunate which do not have heroes. Galileo answered him
very optimistically, “that nation is unlucky and unfortunate which needs heroes”.
