The only solution to our problems

To the lovers of democracy, freedom, human rights, and justice and for all without discrimination of colour, caste, creed and religion. Pakistan was founded for the religious, social, economic and political empowerment of the Muslims of the subcontinent; subsequently transforming a piece of land into a modern, progressive, democratic, and welfare Islamic state. Since the independence to August 2008, it has been sixty-one years of struggle but the objectives are not achieved yet. The ground realities are heartbreaking. There are numerous "isms" in our society, such as terrorism, extremism, sectarianism, militarism, capitalism, and feudalism. It is self-evident that all the above-mentioned had devastating, antagonistic and abusive consequences for the poor populace of Pakistan.
The empirical findings illustrate that our country is going down everyday. The energy crisis, flour crisis, stock exchange crisis, real estate scams, and the suicide bombings provided sufficient evidence of the downfall of the state. Who is responsible to rectify the current state of affairs? It is an intricate task to control the current situation; it is not within the government sphere. All of us must be responsible and responsive. There is patriotism in our countrymen that needs a right direction, which will transform Pakistan into an unwavering state.
Noam Chomsky is a critic of the American imperial policies. He gives a devastating critique of the American intellectuals and has rightly stated in his book titled American Power and the New Mandarins: "It is the responsibility of intellectuals to speak the truth and to expose the lies." Chomsky is highly critical of subservient intellectuals, openly or subtly, to the rulers of society. By analogy it is understandable that it is the responsibility of Pakistani intelligentsia to educate the masses on murkiness, and to exposes the lies and to shed light on the impediments in our progression. Now, one must ask himself a question that what to do now?
