Current Affairs

From my point of view
There are main seven problems in Pakistan.
1. SOCIOECONOMIC PROBLEMS
2. EDUCATIONAL PROBLEMS
3. HEALTH CARE PROBLEMS
4. RELIGIOUS PROBLEMS
5. IDENTITY PROBLEMS
6. POLITICAL PROBLEMS
7. HUMAN RIGHTS PROBLEMS

POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS :
While I am discussing the unresolved problems of Pakistan, I am also reflecting upon the possible solutions. In this introductory article I can only enlist the solutions as each of them is deserving of a detailed discussion. For Pakistanis to make sure that Pakistan not only survives but also grows and thrives and joins the modern world by becoming a progressive and democratic state, they need to take following steps:
1. The gap between the rich and the poor has to decrease.
2. The curriculum of schools need to be reviewed so that children can receive scientific and secular education in their mother tongue. In addition, they need to develop critical and creative thinking.
3. Health care education and free health care needs to be provided to all citizens.
4. The Pakistani Constitution has to become secular and humanistic so that all citizens, especially women and minorities have equal rights and the blasphemy law is abolished.
5. Pakistanis need to become aware of their own cultural traditions and Asian identity rather than primarily identifying with a Middle Eastern identity.
6. All political parties need to present their 5 to 10 year plan to deal with serious economic, religious and social problems so that people know which party will serve them the best.
7. All political parties and citizens need to make sure that army officers stay in the army barracks and not take over the parliament in the future.For some people it might seem like a dream but all nations have to dream before the dream comes true. If Pakistanis did not fulfill that dream, I am afraid their dream might turn into a violent nightmare in the not so distant future.
