Culture and society in pakistan has been matter of debate in pakistan. Pakistan is a reality on the map of globe. we can not ignore this fact while saying that is not natural country. There is no natural country or nation which has no subcultures. Sindhi, punjabi, baloch, pathans/Pashtoons, Kashmiri , siraiki, urdu speaking, and many other language speakers form this nation. Although it is irony of history and politics that no body could perform well in this country.
I have been travelled towards plains and mountains of punjab, streets of lahore, up to wagha border. I have seen upper and middle class while travelling on mottor way and GT Road. In the muhallas of rawal pendi and in the kothies of Islamabad how politics and cultures are amalgamated and produce a ugly picture of my nation which totally distort nation image.
How original and indigenous population of Islamabad lived even today. i have observed this nation from the first day when i entered in Quaid-e-zam university Islamabad and come into contact with different student with different background while speaking their mother tongue. It was wonderful experience to understand various cultures of Pakistan. If you ask which is Pakistan then i will reply you that see the colors of nation have rich languages, literature, beautiful dresses and variety of talent in every corner of nation. But this nation is not like two nation theory because that was demand of that time and part of our history to define our goals and objectives.
I travelled to mind blowing scenes of muree and kashmir. They are paradise on the earth. I travelled to Peshawar a city of brave Pashtoons and hazarawalls. I travelled to mardan where my friend gave me real test of Pashtoons hospitality. I visited universities, schools, parks, historical places and surprised that all Pashtoons are not Taliban or all Taliban’s are also not Pashtoons.
I walks in the streets and sectors of Islamabad and see the alien makhlook which is deciding for us. very few farishtas are taking decisions every where and we are just slave of their ideologies and interests. I carefully watch supreme court for its roles and responsibilities to form nation or reform missing nation through constitutional way. a satisfication i found which ensure me that one day this nation would be great and will have everything. We want development not modern salvery , we need to be very kind to every one but with friendly relations not by force.
I have been meeting with many baloch friends and sisters. I also apologies on my personal basis that they have been ruled and victimise by our own fellow country man with long boots. Being a sindhi and part of sindhi culture , i weep when listen that young balochs mutilated bodies are every where. I want to hug those bodies because they are my fellow country man. they are my brothers.
I have been travelling in sindh from long time. every reader should understand while reading me that i can read mind and heart of common man through its cultural response. we need to revive the culture of origional pakistan while giving proper rights to all pakistanis where ever they live, what ever language they speake, what is their religion / caste/ color it is meaning less in the eyes of law.
Constitutional rights of common man should be protected at all cost to save this country. Sindhies are those who form this country with others. Origionally bengalies started moment for pakistan. our one arm was lost due to our own mistake while not understanding our brothers in 1971.
There are many issues when two cultures encounter with each other. It is natural and not new things. Pakistan is culturally rich country having all types of weathers, sources, strengths, and opportunities in region as well as in global affairs. we should realize why not we play our due role. why not we develop and form new and progressive nation.
Hope is always there because where there is will there is way. We have to come back and start a new society for future generations and for progressive and constitutional country where every citizen have its rights. women , man, muslim , unmuslims, sindhi, punjabi, pathan, balochi, siraiki, kashmiri and every one have equal rights.
Parliament should be supreme for law ,making and policy formation, judiciary should be law inerpreting and over sight over government . Free and fair media will provide over all national over sight on all organs of country for sustainable democracy and development.
