An oft discussed topic by myself is that of the identity crisis which Pakistanis suffer from. I believe the root cause of this has been due to the colonial imprint of English being the superior language, and as Lord Mountbatten's recently de-classified letter reveals; in order to destroy a nation, undermine their educational system. This they succeeded in doing.
Today a discussion ensued, in regard to how to free our minds, to throw off the mental coil of enslavement -much demonstrated by ourselves(Pakistanis) aping the West. Evolution takes time, and this also applies to attainment of freedom. Freedom of the truest kind, that of the mind. According to the holy scripts the time frame required to attain this is 40 years, that too survival in the desert. The tribes of Israel were led by Moses to wander the Sinai for 40 years in order to attain that freedom. Survival of the truest kind.
That generation of Pakistanis whose minds are free are those that dare to wander back to the motherland. Only a free mind will embark on this. Recent discussions of a different genre of bloggers were unable to grasp this concept with the exception of a few. A free mind can free a people. Let the free lead us.

ReplyDeleteThe real freedom comes from within. That inward journey would also give us the true identity of who we are, as an individual and as a nation. Only after that can one interact with society and humankind in a beneficial way.
ReplyDeleteAs for the generation of Pakistanis living abroad and "wandered back to their motherland" there are challenges which only FREE MINDS would be able to face.
