"every thing is fair in love and war".
"she should have worn a burqa this would not have happened".
"he was a true lover".
This just goes on to show how twisted our nation's thoughts are. She should have worn a burqa? Meaning if she didn't wear one she is liable to get shot? He was a true lover? What psychotic love is that?
Imran Khan was thumping his chest for a revolution. The biggest revolution one can bring is changing the psyche of a perverse nation that treat women as objects among other things.
Furthermore we the "high society" people live a cocooned life. We are afraid to bring in a revolution. For us voting for Imran Khan is bringing a revolution. He is like a janitor who we will vote to magically clean all the muck while we put our heads in the sand and imagine nothing is wrong.
deplorable nation :(

well said.. and i think by promoting such words of thought can also bring change in our numbed nation... hope we all could contribute in this war against inhumane attitude.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you totally...over the years our egos have gone big and consideration for human life smaller and smaller. It is for satisfying this ego that we are ready to go to any extend.
ReplyDeleteEducation and character building are crucial for enlightening minds!
In Pakistan the life of a woman's deprivation start even before her birth, the lucky ones who survive are mostly “unwanted” ones. Their life is a journey of subordination.
ReplyDeleteThis one and millions of story like this will happen in our culture. The reason behind all this is 67% illiterate people of Pakistan. Education of any kind gives any1 a sense to think.

ReplyDeleteWell written Umair! You've captured it very well. I felt the same way at the way ppl reacted to the killing of Salman Taseer - such mixed sentiments and some were highly disturbing and lacked any sense of respect.
ReplyDeleteIn a country where being able to sign your name is enough to term one literate - we have a long way to go.
