The Tale of a Power Freak



People suffering from inferiority complex are always in quest of power and authority, be that a lucrative job in government,a slot in political landscape,a decent post in corporate sector or assuming a respectable position in a clan, tribe or least would be a dominant , eldest brother /sister or strict father-cum-power freak heading a nuclear or extended family.Let us critically analyze the life of a power freak.

A family living under the same roof as an organization where it's members are inextricably connected with each other , sharing every thick and thin are also in power struggle in one way or other.

Ostensibly the blue eyed child who could be a sister or a brother mostly eldest among siblings with inflated ego enjoys the preference in the family, and cold shoulder is given to rest of the children.

The priority and privilege are neither based on intellect and sacrifices for the family nor merit rather it purely depends on the orthodox and old schooled father to the side he is inclined to.The privileged child tranforms into carte balanche and a power freak once he or she starts his own family.

His/Her hegemony at times turned out to be fruitful in few cases to decipline things or it completely ruins whole family system when he adopts the repressive policy to streamline home affairs.His/Her belief system encourages him/her to be right all the time .Therefore he/she wants the family members to follow him/her unconditionally.

The authoritarianism is not always welcomed by one or two i.e the deviants in the family.They question the dominance of the power freak and agitate accordingly.Hence it is like a tug of war between power freak and the deviant members.The difference of opinion between the deviant members and the power freak have grave and serious consequences.

Evidently being a power freak is cancerous to family ,society and community.Therefore one has to decide whether to live a life of a power freak with a desire to rule people or share love and happiness by winning hearts of myriad.

The Gilgit-Baltistan’s Conundrum

Image
  The residents of ill-fated Gilgit could easily hear hovering helicopters , the loud music, and echoing slogans raised during parade rehearsal and witness the VIP movement on Shahrah e Quaid e Azam Gilgit before 1 November; the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan. This day drifts us away to the liberation war of Gilgit-Baltistan when stout-hearted people of the difficult terrain liberated their land from the Dogra rule, governed the area as an Independent State for some days, and later joined Pakistan by choice in 1947.  The unfortunate, patriotic pro-Pakistan people celebrated 14 August with enthusiasm and fervor and are now preparing to celebrate the Independence Day of Gilgit-Baltistan with pomp and show.  The government officials and demagogues are going to deliver speeches to glorify the freedom fighters.They will lay wreaths on their graves to pay homage to their bravery and valor against the adversary.  Thanks to the Federation that it validates the sacrific...

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...

Justice for Adiba

Image
Bride Adiba was strangled to death by in-laws in Shimshal,Gilgit-Baltistan.The body was left on river-bank.Though FIR was registered ,murderers were apprehended yet they were released on bail.This exposes our rotten justice system.Hence the threat posed to lives of women by domestic violence can't be condoned.  How could in-laws kill the newly wed bride ,wrapped the body in the blanket ,left in open and painted it as suicide. This case should thoroughly be looked into.Shame on those men and women who are involved in her murder.  Daughters are wed with a dream that they will live happily and become torch bearers of up coming generation being the first and primary institution BUT who knows that they will be choked to death like #Adiba by in-laws.  Raise your voice against domestic violence before it's too late. No one deserves to be killed this way.This is murder in cold blood.
