Current Religious tolerance level in Pakistan and India

On both sides of Radcliffe line, minorities are brutally exploited. Seeds of hatred are deeply rooted in the unfortunate land of subcontinent. India's extremist tendencies under the grab of secularism are crystal clear. In fact India never was a secular state. While on other side of the border, though harsh for many, minorities are forcefully converted. They are treated as third class citizens. They aren't given jobs  on the basis of their abilities. Their faith determines their fate. Why don't we try to spread peace, love and tolerance? This question haunts the minds of every sane individual living on both sides of the boarder. In India, Muslims cannot perform certain rituals. Notwithstanding they own India as their motherland,their association is linked to Pakistan. It is argued by liberal school of thought that the division based on two nation theory can never be justified. They argue that hindus and Muslims had been living in subcontinent for hundreds of years w...

Current Religious Intolerance

Religion is a sensitive matter that can go in favor of or against the poeple living in particular geographical boundaries. It depends upon several factors. For example broadminded, tolerant,well informed and moderate views spread light in the corridors of worship. On the other hand, narrow mindedness, rigidity, sanctimoniousness, intolerance, ignorance and sense of superiority among any religious group hinder the path of light. Unfortunately, religious intolerance has become a global phenomenon. Follower of every school of thought –be it Muslim  Christian, Hindu, Jew, Buddhist, Atheist, Agnostic or pantheist–advocates his/her own version of belief, worship or any other philosophy of life. Dissenting views are not accepted because majority is not taught to adopt flexibility and tolerance. Ultimately, diversity is curbed while rigidity is promoted. This paves the way for extremism, violence, mobocracy and sensationalism. Moreover, all these evils give way to the serious threat of ter...

Issues of the Third World (Pakistan)

Since evolution of civic life on the planet Earth human beings have been facing innumerable issues. Nature of such issues vary from country to country. To be more precise, the variation directly depends on the status of the country. As far as feminism is concerned, intensity of its propagation changes with change in geographical boundaries. In third world countries like Pakistan, idea of feminism does not hold ground when compared with issues that geoparadise their survival. Therefore, it is quite evident that third deals with more severe and serious issues than feminism. The third world countries do not have access to the basic necessities of life. A major piece of evidence is that majority of the third world countries struggle to get clean water and food. There are economic and security issues. Moreover, malnutrition, corruption and misuse of natural resources  further the miseries of underdeveloped nations. Leadership has not been able to deliver their promises because of incomp...

Terrorism jolts New Zealand

At least 49 people dead, several injured in planned attack during Friday prayer in New Zealand. Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Ahmad Khan Niazi condemned the brutal attack. Statement released on twitter read that terrorism has no religion. Every act of terrorism should be condemned irrespective of who committed it. A man aged 28 opened fire in Al Noor mosque while streaming it live on Facebook through helmet camera. Nothing could be more brutal than this inhuman act. World community must declare it a terrorist attack rather than calling him white supermasit. When a muslim blows himself away, whole world gathers around and target islam and muslims. This is injustice with millions of peaceful and tolerant muslims. Now a Christian attacking muslims should be an eye opener for the world to realize that terrorism has no religion, race, culture and boundaries. World must stand up against atrocities of such high extreme nature. It was indubitably right when New Zealand Prime Minister ca...

Ties with USA

Ties with USA are going to be renewed. After the recent escalation between two arch rivals, situation is going towards de escalation and peace. USA has played its part by asking both the neighbors to settle their problems through diplomacy. Keeping in mind this whole scenario, Pakistan's foreign minister Makhdoom Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said that our Relationship with USA is going to take a fresh start. The new regime in Pakistan wants to build strong friendly relations with super power. US Pakistan relations were in turmoil because of the current financial action task force issue that has put Pakistan in danger of  facing the severe punishment of blacklist. But Pakistan's timely action against proscribed and band outfits has given paris based task force an impression that new government is committed in curbing terrorist organizations. Secondly Pakistan's major role in peace talks between Afghan taliban and USA has persuaded USA to rebuild its ties with only nuclear power ...

Pakistan-India Tension in the Wake of Pulwama Attack

Pakistan is united under the leadership of Imran Khan.  "Nearly all men can stand adversity but if you want to test a man's character give him power." These are the very famous words said by Abraham Lincoln. Now, as far as Imran Khan's character is concerned, he has fought adversity throughout his life. He has faced the most difficult situations but now one of the  most dangerous things that corrupt people –power– is in Imran's hands.  instead of overplaying politics on the issue —Pulwama attack —Imran has asked India to provide actionable evidence and we will take action. He is showing us the gap between real statesman and cunning politician.  On the other hand, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has blamed Pakistan without any evidence. It is surprising that India has so strong intelligence network that they can find out the culprit in few hours then it would be better that if they stop the attack  in the first place. If they had so much power of intelligence shar...
