"Dying Pakistaniat"

We remember a time when used to think like we Pakistanis are an honorable nation, for we always abide by our word and commitments. However, such a thinking has become rustic with those minds being dragged out that shaped that honorific worldview of "Pakistaniat". The present generations are least concerned with such ideals as "national honor". They want to jump away from Pakistan on their haunches no matter how - even if they have to sacrifice everything for it. And if the nation's respect is to be sacrificed, that seems the best as well as least risky deal - a bargain of profit. It is why Pakistanis bear the worst humiliation of all both inside and outside the country.  They rarely think in spite of all such trauma to stand up against the "status quo" in order to project their demands for fundamental human rights.

It is a tragic story - even a tragi-comecy - because the Nation is still deeply asleep. Are we the slaves of the world? We sell our national honor to Arabs and become their slaves for a few coins and they in return brand us outright as 'bastards', saying 'all Pakistanis are bastards' (kullu Pakistani haraami). Isn't death a better option than to live such a disgusting life? And remember these Arabs are (allegedly) our Muslim brothers whom we extend our love and sense of honor out of deep ignorance.

I want the inputs of all intellectual and sensitive Pakistanis interested in this subject in this section. Every contribution will be valuable.

Interfaith Dialogue

The prime objective of Bab-ul-Ilm Research Foundation resorts to the fact of the need of interfaith dialogue. It is, in fact, the dire need of the hour, for international religious atmosphere of the globe has necessitated such positive steps to be taken immediately. We have by far successfully conducted interfaith dialogues between Muslims and Christians, and between Muslims and Hindus. We are planning to extend the area of our operation to bring peace to the world. We believe that interfaith dialogue is the only way to create harmony between different religions of the world.
Let's figure out what's the most appropriate way to bring different religions and cultures close to one another. Your suggestions are welcomed here.
