Pakistan’s Military Establishment & Political Dynasties & International Establishment: Thrown Entire Country in Super Deep Crisis “A ROSE IN FLAMES”

For a nation to progress it must have a clear idea of its longer-term aspirations. Without this clarity it will neither be able to prepare a coherent roadmap for action nor adopt and implement the policies that would lead towards the objectives. A national vision is meant to provide clarity to our shared vision of the future. Indeed, Pakistan was founded on such a vision—the “Pakistani Dream”, a vision of a prosperous, equitable, tolerant, and dynamic society—which was at the heart of the Independence Movement, even if, over the years, its clarity has diminished. It was the foundational vision for the new country, inspired by that generation of leaders, and articulated through the struggles of our people for independence and nationhood.

[ NOW THE ABOVE SAID SHOULD BE THE AGENDA OF PAKISTAN’S MILITARY / POLITICAL LEADERSHIP BUT REALITY IS 360 DEGREE OPPOSITE OF IT)

[WHAT IS HAPPENING AND WAS GOING LIKE FOR MORE THAT 70 YEARS “UNFORTUNATELY” BUT THIS IS WHAT IT IS, EYES WIDE SHUT]

Pakistan’s political instability today is in large measure due to the struggle between three major actors—the corrupt politicians/political dynasties, morally & character wise corrupt military establishment & leadership, and the business elites. Partition from British India and the migration that followed led to mobilization based on identity, a power structure that was eventually dominated by the military, and the weakening of democratic institutions and principles with help of political parties & their dynasties. (These evils of Pakistan are fully supported by international establishments, mainly USA & UK)

This internal struggle in Pakistan has its roots in the power play among contending forces that has emerged on the political stage after independence. Partition led to political developments that favored ideological mobilization, the militarization of the power structure and a national vision based on security. The initially dominant migrant leadership of the state shied away from a pluralist framework of authority.

The internal conflict between the three main actors in Pakistan (the civilian wing of the state, the military, and Islamic parties and groups) has caused the country to face political instability at home and a diplomatic and strategic crisis abroad. The effects of partition, migration, military rule, Islamic militancy, and regional instability have all contributed to the country’s instability.

Contending forces—whether driven by religious, sectarian, ethnic, tribal, and linguistic identities or by civilian-military and modernist-Islamist struggles—can adversely affect the authority of the state in the long term.

At this Moment Of Time Pakistan Is Pulled into Final Mess By These Blood Sucking Power Loving Elites & It’s definitely looks like that Military Establishment & Political Dynasties appear as Genghis Khan for weak, patriotic & upright masses of Pakistan.

The Time Has Come For Pakistan

The time has come for Pakistan, and even other countries with a struggling economy, to hit the pause button. We have a huge appetite for politics which is loaded with conflict and scandal. If we continue to encourage this narrative, the economy and human condition will only get worse. It is also important for the media to constantly highlight the economic challenges Pakistan is facing so we get a thorough understanding of how dire the situation is.

The only fight Pakistan should be thinking about is the fight for stability. It no longer has the luxury for political tussles and long marches. Rectifying the economy and creating political stability is the only option. It’s that simple?

Stay Blessed – Your Pakistan

King or Country? by Humayun Gauhar

Ask yourself: when was it last when we were truly sovereign and independent? No in my lifetime or yours. Don’t get fooled by the symbols of independence: a flag, a national anthem, a parliament a Supreme Court building, an armed forces capable of defending for not more than two months. We keep chasing certain ephemeral ‘freedoms’ —speech, association, information and what have you, entirely forgetting freedom of food, to earn a respectable living, to have access to fundamental human rights like decent clothing, shelter, education, movement. The few institutions that symbolize freedoms have been occupied and are controlled by the rapacious elite: the executive, parliament, judiciary and media mostly. Our executive doesn’t even have freedom of decision-making; it has to pay heed to what outsiders tell it to decide because we have lost the economic war. Sorry, we are not free….

They’re Breaking Pakistan

https://www.thecitizen.in/index.php/en/NewsDetail/index/4/6638/Theyre-Breaking-Pakistan

Our governments are peddlers of doom and gloom; people like me are not. Government incompetence and criminality cause feelings of foreboding. People like me only have the gumption to declare it, that’s all. The majority prefers the head-in-the-sand approach for imaginary mental and emotional protection, preferring to live in delusions until they evaporate.

Those with eyes can see that what is left of Pakistan after 1971 is in grave danger of dissolving. Historical anomalies aside, we have come to this pass for reasons:

1. Non-delivery to the people.
2. The Constitution being made even more unwholesome with the 18th Amendment that castrated the federal government and gave power to even more inept provincial governments with multiple incapacities, the worst of which is total lack of principles and morality. At the same time, it has reduced the army’s libido.
3. A law that makes it possible to whiten corrupt money by paying one percent tax, sending the message that it pays to be corrupt as long as it is big corruption.

When government’s intent is to protect corruption and criminality, is it not inviting anarchy and coup? Blood flows in anarchy and, I fear, will also flow in a coup this time if it comes. But if it comes to saving the country from collapse the army will be forced to act under its oath, even if it happens too late and only for appearances sake. Else there could be mutiny.

What can save Pakistan?

1. A popular uprising that upturns the status quo.
2. Those who are charged and paid to save Pakistan do their duty. But do they know how?
3. To those who think that only terrorists can hold it together, good luck.

A student of history will look upon this as a continuation of the fragmentation of British India to its old equilibrium of pre-colonial days. Fragmentation of a forcefully glued together Indian sub-continent started in 1947, then again in 1971. Pseudo democrats will say, “Here goes Humayun Gauhar again asking for another army usurper.” They don’t take time to work out that army usurpers are products of inept politicians who in turn are products of army usurpers. Political governments are usurpers themselves for grabbing power after rigging the ballot. It’s a comfortable symbiotic relationship, each a reflection of the other, each a usurper in his own fashion, each the same except in apparel. Actually, politicians who grab power after rigged elections are the greater usurper than an army general because they pretend to be democrats whereas they are actually the antithesis of democracy that eventually causes army usurpation. The pseudo would rather have incompetent politicians with bad intent ruling the country even if it causes collapse because they believe in the stupid dictum that the worst democracy is better than the best dictatorship, forgetting that bad democracy is another kind of dictatorship. At this rate they will find themselves being ruled neither by politician nor general but by terrorist.

Save Pakistan NOW or Forever Regret It

Pakistan has been treading the evolutionary path for 70+ years and in the process has lost half of itself. Now the remaining half is in danger. It finds itself facing a fork in the road. It’s a fork akin to a pair of scissors. One blade in a pair of scissors is longer than the other. Pakistanis now have to decide which road in the fork they want to take – the road that is the shorter blade of the scissors leads to balkanization; the longer blade to possible salvation because it goes over the shorter blade and cuts whatever is on it in half. So be careful. (Snippet from article)

The Creator says in Quran verse 8 of Al-Maa’idah. “Believers, fulfill your duties to Allah and bear true witness. Do not allow your hatred for other men turn you away from justice. Deal Justly: that will bring you closer to piety. Have fear of Allah; Allah is cognizant of all your actions.”

By the same token, never love anyone so much that you cannot do justice. Never support anyone to such an extent (primarily for self-interest) that you cannot do justice. Never be so vulnerable to pressures, threats and greed that you cannot do justice. Be scared of your Creator. Love only your Creator and humanity, His greatest creations, his jewel. Little else matters. The best way to affirm you Faith in the Creator is by meeting our justice. (Snippet from article)

“What should our be vision for Pakistan?” asked Maverick the Monkey innocently to get the conversation going. Little did he realize that he was igniting a time bomb.

The lady was now in overdrive, from zero to sixty in four seconds. “Look, forget vision. After determining where you want Pakistan to be in five years, make a realistic and doable plan. Call it ‘strategy’ to satisfy your pomposity. But always remember that the plans of monkeys and men come to naught in the face of God’s plan? But since it is the duty of man and monkey to try their best, naturally you have to do it. You must. So do it, don’t moan, then leave the rest to God. Right now, it seems that God has decided to teach us Muslims a lesson by destroying and changing the States that we’ve made, for only when we are cornered are we likely to see the Light again.

“After making your plan, identify who will implement it without ifs and buts. Determine realistically what their attributes should be and how you will weigh and measure them remembering that you don’t really know what’s in anyone’s heart unless they get the chance to show you. Remember: the only honest people in Pakistan are those who have never had the chance to be dishonest. Don’t look for angels. Work with the best you have, which may not be very good, but that is all you have. Even if they are not the best, ensure at least that they are not rotten. The best of chefs can turn out a terrific dish with ordinary and inadequate raw material as long as it is not rotten. (Snippet from article)

Bleeding Pakistan & Ordinary Pakistanis – Who Is A Monster?

Pakistan’s men-made soaring economic, political & social crisis amounts to is an opportunistic struggle for not only accessing power but also not to lose a control on millions of bleeding poor Pakistanis. There are multiple players (local, regional & international) who have set an arena for this blood sport where millions versus handful of military & political aristocrats those have taken their lust of power to a final level (reminding us of Genghis Khan ruthless, bone crushing humiliation of humanity).

Now looking at the other side, members of this club of Military & Political Elites who are keeping up stature of loyalty with their old master & landlord whom they are in love for half a century…(USA) right now busy destroying Ukraine by the hands of Russians. So, with their own hunger games, Pakistan Political & Military Elites has left the country in a bloody tinderbox. And in all of it, little regard is displayed on either side for the ongoing suffering of ordinary Pakistanis, who continue to pay the price for the country’s long history of power packed corruption, narcissism, treachery and hypocrisy.
