Humpty Dumpty and The Third World
Posted by Mobasher Oct 19, 1997 09:16 pm
RE: Humpty Dumpty. Having moved here when I was a mere babe at the tender age of eight in 1960, I am not too much in
tune with the politics ``over there``. But I do keep in touch in a general way with the
``happenings``. I believe that we, the Pakistanis, are bright, smart and hard working
people. Our abilities shine when we are given the opportunity to shine. Too bad,
those opportunties are provided in a foreign land and not in our native land. So
what`s the solution? Good Golly Miss Molly, if someone had the answer, he or she
would have won the Nobel Prize for ``problem-solving. To gain insight from the
experience of other countries and nations, like South Korea or Singapore or
Turkey, I would have to say that ``industrialization`` is the key. That will take care
of ethnic divides, overpopulation, inlaw problems, poverty, corruption, arranged
marriages, moulvis, etc etc. United States was where Pakistan is at the turn of this
century. If Pakistanis are provided the right ``environment`` in which to grow, they
will perform miracles .... like many of us have proven ourselves in foreign lands.
In addition to industrialization, we need to forget about Kashmere. Let Kashmeris
fight for their own independence or whether they want to join India or Pakistan.
Not only it will gain goodwill worldwide, it will also free resources for
industrialization. And other countries will flock to Pakistan for investment into the
infrastructure. And fer sure, the leader who shows that kind of vision will be the
Times` Person of the Year, in addition to winning the Nobel Peace Prize. He or
she will also be a martyr but it will be for a good cause; a straight ticket to Heaven
with no questions asked by the Lord above. Similar to Anwar Sadaat and
Menachem Begin!!!! In my not so humble opinion, that`s the ticket for Pakistan to
flourish in the new millenium.

Sincerely,

Moe Chaudry

Dear Saima, this is ``interact`` for Let`s Talk, Say Something. Having moved here when I was a mere babe at the tender age of eight in 1960, I am not too much in tune with the politics ``over there``.

Wow! Rad! Awesome! However, it will be nice
and wonderful if, one day, Urdu script could
be transformed into Roman script. Similar to
Turkish. An attempt was made in the late
fifties/early sixties by President Ayub Khan,
but there were no takers. Wonder if the
siutation has changed now?

Anyway, my kongrats and kudos to you!!!
