I agree with you. The need of hour is to awake the young generation that Yes it's our motherland and we have to save it. we have to make it. What if it has become moth-eaten. Its foundation is still existing. What we have to do is just to recognize our duties and to play our roles in making our country the next Super Power of the world. We have to use manpower like China to make development of Pakistan certain. Nation has to come out from darkness. A leader must be there to take the people along. And leader can appear on the scene if and only if nation becomes mature enough to choose the right person. But most of all we need to change ourselves 1st. And that is what we ought to do.... Pakistan is a resukt of millions of life sacrifices.. It can't be demolished ever.. have faith and turn this world according to your thoughts... aoa
you have shared very optimistic and positive ideas. I agree with you. The need of hour is to awake the young generation that Yes it’s our motherland and we have to save it. we have to make it. What if it has become moth-eaten. Its foundation is still existing. What we have to do is just to recognize our duties and to play our roles in making our country the next Super Power of the world.

But most of all we need to change ourselves 1st. And that is what we ought to do….
Pakistan is a resukt of millions of life sacrifices.. It can’t be demolished ever..
have faith and turn this world according to your thoughts…

I will assume that these are not rhetorical questions and answer them on this assumption. 1) Korea in 1980 was a basket case full of shanty towns and prostitution centers. Pakistan was ahead of Korea in the 60s. They moved up and leap frogged Pakistan and today are an economic power. If the right policies are established, it will take 20 years to make Pakistan an economic Tiger. Please see our article on Vision 2020 which is a summary of How to do it" 2) We have to create a "reverse dependency" in Pakistan. This means that countries are dependent on Pakistan, rahter then us going to them to seek assistance. This "reverse dependency is summarized in PakVision 2020. Essentially this means not giving away what we have in terms of geography. For example Egypt got $38 Bilion in loans waived in exchange for a peace deal. 3) Pakistan has a strategic position. Gwader to Central Asia via rail and road would be one way to using our geography. Mexico has craeted a Mexican Riviera and pulls in $60 Billion per annum. We recommend the Mekan Riviera to pull in $60 Billion. This invovles investment but not that much. 4) Low cost solutions for healthcare are well established in Cuba which provides 100% free medical help to all her citizens and is the best country in terms of Hunger index. We have to emulate the Cuban model in health and social services. Sri Lanka has done more for less in creating a very very high (above 90%) literacy rate. For a poor coutnry in a civil war this is fantastic. We have to use shiploads of Sri Lankan teachers on how they did it. 5) We think what the World bank tells us to think. Low cost homes, hand cranked laptops, solar ovens for cooking, peer to peer networking for intenet to villages (one coputer every 50 miles or so), small dams, saving rain water, the list is long 6) Opening up Baluchistan for homesteading--free land for the landless etc etc etc are some of the measures with new thinking.
