Tradition

It has become a tradition to criticise politicians; disgracing and humiliating them with the most inappropriate, unethical and abusive labels. It's fine, every individual is free to express and share what he experiences and feels, but why don't they criticise those who had been equally sharing the throne with politicians? Why don't they fulminate those who abrogated the constitution and torn us asunder through fanaticism? The best way,for a nation, to flourish is to break the fragile wall of illusions and realistically realise the weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Without Diagnosing disease how could one be cured?For those who shrug and believe it was only the past that should be burried now; Eugene O'Neill writes, "Past is present,isn't it? It's future too". Past will continue to haunt the present untill and unless the policy makers choose the road that has not been taken before( overhauling of old and outdated policies).

Rampant Radicalization

Rampant Radicalization    Pakistan can't eradicate the rampant extremism until and unless the regressive ideologies are rooted out.Recently,a proposal was presented  in the upper house where intelligence agencies were asked to collect the data of students, a step towards identifying and curbing  the extremit groups in institutions.     Authorities need to understand that this curse can never be countered sans ideological battle that includes:overhauling the orthodox curriculum.Abolishing the rigid and authoritative teaching methodologies,encouraging free thinking in the students sans any biased approach.The radicalisation,if not controlled,would tear the state asunder. Repressive state apparatus is being used to counter terrorism and exterimism which has been entrenched in the minds.How can the disease be cured which is yet to be diagnosed?    Radicalisation will continue to haunt the lives of upcoming generations until and unless a counter te...

Unity in diversity in Kabuliwala by Rabindranath Tagore    Unity in diversity means unity among those people who are different, culturally, socially and religiously. People living in India are from various religions, casts and beliefs, however they are living in unity and providing the fact that unity in diversity.  In short story Kabuliwala Tagore presents the characters who are from different culture, religion and country. Tagore attempts to depict the concept of unity in diversity. Narrator's daughter Mini says to him " Dad our sentry Ramdayal doesn't even know  how to pronounce the word crow. He is so backward." His father says, "before I could enlighten her on the differences between languages" It shows  though Mini is just a child, she curbs the unity in diversity. Mini's parents are worried about the ''tall shabbily clothed Afghan " because he is not from their country and religion.They aren't accepting the concept of unity in d...

Confusion

It pinches ,hurts demotivates and lets me down when formally educated individuals perplex themselves with basic concepts of feminism and liberalism. Any thinking individual,when raises voice against all kinds of opression, repression and cruelties– Men's opression againts women, mob of fanatics lynching a student, a student proudly murdering principal, woman suffering because of an egoist and supreme male and the catalogue goes on–he is called a desi liberal or feminist,usually in a sarcastic tone. I have seen people calling liberalism something anti-religious. I have observed a few decent individuals ridiculing and sarcasting people for such humanistic views.Liberal isn't an anti-religious person,literally speaking, he is the one who believes in religious and economic freedom for all the portions of society. Feminist isn't the person who demands equality for the womenfolk by all means.He wants woman to be protected from gender biased approach, he wants them to be educated ...
