"Corona Vs Pakistan"

"Corona Vs Pakistan"

Corona is something serious having drastic perils.Unfortunately it is condoned so far.Developed countries like Germany has shut borders.Italy is striving hard to pull it from quagmire.USA has no better fate.China locked down whole Wuhan when it was spreading.Death toll in Iran crossed 1000.

Where does a developing country like Pakistan stand which has to receive aid from World Bank and ADB an amount of $588m to fight Corona ?Sindh government has been doing best ,then comes Balochistan but Punjab/Federal failed to manifest readiness and Preparedness as it ought to because deaths just started.People are roaming around.Sacred Makkah and Shrine of Iran are closed but Mosques in Pakistan are open.Tablig gatherings are still held.Isnot this a crisis why no lock down? 

Evidently there is a lapse while providing required equipment to doctors to pacify this pandemic.They are our saviors-the frontline.If they survive then they can give adequate treatment.They must be provided things in line with doctors of China.China has already provided Pakistan medical kits,masks and necessary articles.Propaganda against doctors of Pakistan will never bear fruit but aggravate the situation further.

Collective response is a dire need of hour.Petty politics,greed on behalf of some could be catastrophic.On individual level we can excercise Social-distancing ,wash our hands for 20 seconds with soap,usage of hand sanitizers,having masks when we go out in crowd.This is all one could do.May God protect everyone from this virus.Ameen.

Evolution of Democracy in Pakistan

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
