Naltar Incident and Our Response



Six people including a woman were killed at Naltar ,Gilgit in wake of a tribal scuffle.Every section of our society voiced the victims and criticized the heinious crime.

It is good to hear that culprits of Naltar Incident have been apprehended.Police and Law enforcement organs must be lauded for their quick action.

Some months back two young souls Farjaad and another were lynhced in Naltar ,few friends of them created hype on social media against the massacre but rest of us remained silent even Police wasnot ostensibly functional to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Years back ,dozens of passengers in Babusar ,Lolosar were lynched brutally on KKH after checking NICs.The kind people of Chilas helped most to elude the tragedy But again majority of us were observing silence so do our Law enforcement bodies.

The episode wise tragedies and our Institutional selective approach towards the victims and deceased manifest how cruel and criminal we all are from inside out.

We cannot openly lambast the perpetrators.We condemn after scanning the beliefs of those who face death on roads or elsewhere.

The echelons and policymakers need to chalk out strategies to diffuse the situation based on Law not on faith ,pressure groups and Polity.

Moreover we should expose the tyrant killers ,terrorists and miscreants without looking for the clan ,sect and cast they belong to else we are no less than hypocrites.

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
