Ambassador Sahib, with all due respect, very moving and motivational speech, but is it fair to pin the blame on the young generation for the faults of their elders? When you plant a tomato seedling, you get tomatoes (in most countries).

This is what happened


The rot set in when the first Cantonment Kutta took over...buyt some say that this kutta , who was not liked by Jinnah, had already started his scheme to get rid of East Pakistan from day one.

The 1953 Korean war brought a lot of prosperity and it was not considered opportunistic to get rid of ``those pesky bengalies`` then.

Those ``pesky`` bengalies were really the brain , and in majority too!, to not let these Cantonment & Civil Lines type ( goray kay ghulaam, Mcaulay kaay haraami pillay and SirRy Syed kay sanpoliyay) do what they like to do..run their own fiefdom..a la Nawabi style.

Scxhemes were hatched so that the Revenue ( after Jute was no longer needed as cash crop..due to Dow Chemicals) would then only be used to glorify & glamourise Islamabad.
No wonder the great bengali mind wrote `` Appreciating the beauty & prosperity of Pakistan in Islamabad, I bowed down, to kiss the earth, kissed the gleaming asphalt of my motherland.

It was then that I realised of the smell of Jute coming out of the shining roads of Islamabad.
