"Corona and Ramadan"

"Corona & Ramadan"

Happened to visit market in Saqidabad area.It was jam packed and crowded.People weren't having face masks,no social-distancing and there was a feeling as Corona is not an issue and Pakistanis will easily fight this pandemic.

Ramadan asks to feel for poor via hunger but No we need to buy Fruits,Drinks and food items more than our regular consumption.Without "Samosa and Pakora" we cant break fasting.First we will take a light Iftar with fruits,drinks,dates,Kajori,Finger chips then we will have a heavy dinner.We have to eat to our full as we keep fasting throughout the day.This is something antithetical and opposite to Islamic teachings.

The mundan's attitude will never let the government and authorities flatten the curve.WHO already warned Pakistan to mend it's ways to fight Corona else it will have to face the music.Meanwhile government,judiciary and heath care are not on the same page.Pakistan Medical Alliance of expert doctors already requested not to allow religious congregations but Government under religious pressure groups cant take pragmatic steps except calling Tariq Jameel on TV and Telenoth for duas.

Young doctors are on hunger strike in Punjab because protective kits have not been provided to them ,they are demanding for PPEs.Lahore High Court lambasted doctors in a recent hearing by asserting not to waste time and go home if they cant serve without PPEs.

Who will protect people from dying if doctors give up on this nation.Only doctors and paramedics can help pull out Pakistan of this quagmire.Help them ,Own them.They need a pat on their shoulders during this crisis.Strange state of affairs in Pakistan.

Evolution of Democracy in Pakistan

Image
Introduction The term democracy is originated from two Greek words - Demos and Kratos-. Demos means People and Kratos means Rule. Therefore democracy is the “Rule of People”. It is a primitive concept of consensus, when people would gather in a group and select one of the representatives of the clan to voice whole group or society. Aryan-Panchiat system also manifested this mechanism. Democracy was also exercised through citizen’s assemblies in Greek City States. Interestingly Greek Philosopher disdained democracy as Aristotle said, "this is a Mobocracy -rule of the crowd- instead of democracy". Abraham Lincoln anticipated democracy as the government of the People, by the People and for the People. In other words democracy is the people centered government that is responsive and could be held accountable. Legacy of Polarized Democracy in Pakistan British introduced Colonialism in India via direct and indirect rule. It was made possible with the help of Political Parties, Trad

Who is holding the spectre of Taliban in Gilgit-Baltistan?

  US withdrew from Afghanistan in dark in accordance with it's foreign policy to exit 20 years of war, which it started to avenge 9/11 attack.The americans deliberately left heavy ammunition and weaponry behind to further aggravate the situation. As of now the fate of Aghanis is in the hands of war-lords and various Taliban factions.The recent developments suggest Afghanistan is advancing towards Civil war because most of the areas have been controlled by Talibans.Moreover Talibans are also striving hard to create unrest near Tajikistan's border along durand line. It may be anticipated that the northern part of Pakistan i.e Gilgit-Baltistan could also suffer from the ongoing outrage because one of cults of Taliban released a video of an open Kachery held in Babusar area.The spokesperson floated few of the concerns. The commander while reading a script also discussed about a deal finalised with echelons and political leadership of Gilgit-Baltistan in 2019 that means someone a

Religious and Social Stratification in Gilgit-Baltistan's Politics

Image
Social Stratification is the socio-economic layering of people in a society according to wealth ,power and prestige.The system through which a society bifurcates masses into various categories in comparison with other group or individuals in a society.Class and caste system ,slavery and estates are the offshoots of social stratification. The political spectrum of Gilgit-Baltistan mimics other four provinces of Pakistan in one way or other.Fuedal lords ,elitists and industrialists have legacy of holding key roles in politics to quench the thirst of power and authority.Likewise the elite of Gilgit-Baltistan has been witnessed while playing cards in power corridors to decide the fate of down trodden and poor. Why we always elect the rich to represent the poor ? The popular opinion is poor lack resources and capital to garner votes.If someone pops up from lower or middle class to voice the voiceless, he is compelled to withdraw.This divide erodes the system from inside out.The poor and
