Today’s TikTok youth might even don’t have any idea what signifies 1857… am saying it because I worked as a Lecturer in a collage in Islamabad, and there I meet with some underrated minds, whom only desire for getting the Degrees for moving abroad, even they mocked me for being a patriot. However, I believe I must have some dear, gentle readers who possess in heart and mind the responsibility and concern for the land on which they born.
Pakistan a hard country, Pakistan in dilemma, Pakistan a though land, the senseless writers writing such meaningless blogs, in order to ramble already wandered souls.
This all is a master-planning of West to entangle East in their nasty thread, and on top our institutions, our top leaders, even our society started to appreciate this alien’s agenda, or turned their allies. I travelled to different countries, let’s say Egypt, Qatar, and Azerbaijan etc., they speak their native language, as a tourist I communicated with them in sign language since they turned me down if I talk English. However here in my beloved Pakistan, if a person is talking in Urdu, that is supposed to be our official language, he or she would be thought as an Illiterate, a villager, similarly if a woman is half naked she is considered modern, being naked is modern then why African forest people are not considered modern? They are also naked.
Our language, our culture, our traditional values all are sweeping, and yes, it is what Indic Studies call Kal Yug, when king behave like robbers, that’s what’s happening, can’t you see? Or you too will let this land divide once again, and this time on the pretext of carefully crafted Regional Differences not Religion. Am saying this because, I have heard all this from the mouths of troublemakers, who live and eat from my country but talk bad of it. The slaves of west.
Moreover, you call this independence, but in name. Since, independent nations never dwell as of us. Independence or freedom is a mental phenomenon, where a person can think irrespective of terror, where the nation has their own ideology, not a replication, imitation or alarm of other. A person born among us akin to Bahadur Shah Zafar who tried to tell us the meaning of Independence, and the sense of Nation, some walked with him, many left him, akin to the Nawabs and Rajas back in 1857, and once again history repeated itself. Again it’s 1857, again Bahadur Shah Zafar jailed and again we have failed.
On documents we got independence on 1947, however Pakistan will be free on the day when our minds will get independence from the influence of West.
