Pakistan will always exist in its present state like a yo-yo and anyone, who expects it to progress beyond its limitations is living in an utopia.

[Pakistan will follow the fate of iraq. Pakistanis education and employment opportunities will be progressively curtailed, tech tranfers will be restricted, it will be a `` food for oil`` type of program, what IMF calls the poverty aleviation schemes, and it will be the turn of the indians to free the pak people]

Social movement in pakistan,

The only significant social movement in pakistan since its creation has been the jihadic organisations. They emerged in the vacuum created by the successive govts of pakistan by not living up to the ideal for which pakistan was created, for islam. Hundreds of such organisation came up while the ilks of tahmed blamed it al on the Us and the afghan war. Even last year, the ilks of temporal talked about only 3 percent voters for the jihadists, now every one asserts that the next election will swept by the jihadists.

What mushy has done is to create a further vacuum by hindering the PPP and sheriff party and helping the social change initaiated by the jihadists.

It was heartening to see the chief of Laskers sharing the platform with the ruling party to announce jihad against the US. Pakistan is a ``torn country`` like turkey, the elites wants to be a moderate country to join the EU, but the majority wants it to be an islamic country.
The eyropean elite would like it to join the EU, but majority fell that turkey is an islamic country and does not share the european values.

The same is the case with pakistan, the elites wants it to be a moderate country, at peace with india. That is why all of the talk about talks with the indians. The majority of the pakistanis feel that it is an islamic country and hence the jihadic border has to be soaked in blood.

The ilks of tahmed has to realise that with mushy, the change has been made permanent, the jihadists of military have manipulated the political power to the jiahdists.

Pakistan will follow the fate of iraq. Pakistanis education and employment opportunities will be progressively curtailed, tech tranfers will be restricted, it will be a `` food for oil`` type of program, what IMF calls the poverty aleviation schemes, and it will be the turn of the indians to free the pak people.

There is a Panjabi joke that goes like:

kawway (crows) spotted a dead animal and started calling their families and friends: ``aa (come), aa, aa,..........``

next came gidhaN (vututres) and started tearing the meat and singing from deep throat: `` hor khaa (eat more), hor kha, hor kha,..............``

after that came the cheelaN (birds of prey, buzzard etc) and started asking: ``kee bhaa (what price), kee bhaa, kee bhaa, ............

a dog was standing nearby and replied in barking: ``muft (free), muft, muft,.......``

well, Mutt is a dog variety and assign labels to other scavenger birds yourself. Poor Pakistan has been teared apart!!!!

Shaikh Rashid Almaroof Shida Tali is always fun to watch, but you have to give him that even foreign office clarify that he is not a spokeperson on foreign policy, he carries on his stand up comedy without any fear.

In the country where we have people like Ch Shujat as king maker and Jamali as king alongwith Maulana Diesel as opposition leader then no need to wonder why Pakistani nation consider Army far better then these civilian clowns.

from memory lane:

for “chakko hai meray paas” the name of the character was ``Hasnat Bhai`` played by ``Jamshed Ansari`` in Hasina Moin`s ``Uncle Urfi``.

Qabacha was also a funny character in another Hasina`s serial ``Tanhaiyan``,

dosent make much difference though!

a nice and pertinent article. Pakistan needs to realise that America is not anybody`s friend but only cares about its own self-interest. (Like all countries). We need to do the same but instead our leadership seems to enjoy being USA`s condom --except for the MMA. After all, until we learn to respect ourselves no one else we respect us.
