Some countries like the U.S.A., the U.S.S.R, and
the U.K. and some other countries in Europe have developed a great deal due on
the excellent use they made of scientific knowledge and I!terminology. The U.K.
during the 17th and the 18th centuries Conquered new territories and used the
huge raw materials at their disposal in those countries. The raw materials were
taken by the British to their .outlay. When it was possible for them to derive
power from steam to drive huge machineries, they made use of these raw
materials. By exporting finished goods, England earned foreign exchange to
considerable extent. During the nineteenth century, England and other countries
of Europe were able to enrich themselves. They were able to raise the living standard
of their people, devote scholars for research work, did social works. Thus they
were able to be strong economically, politically and socially. The ruling
countries become highly developed at the cost of the dependent countries.
Soon, there existed a gulf of difference between
these developed countries and the undeveloped countries. For a time this relationship
between the ruling country and the dependent country existed with no effective
protect made by the latter. But during the last part of the 19th century and
the beginning of the 20th century. These countries became restive. The First
Great War sounded a grave warning. The French Revolution of the 18th century
had already awakened the common men. The Second World War changed the very face
of the world. The War ended with the emergence of the United Nations Organization.
The world, after the cessation of hostilities, was a different world. The
ruling nations found it difficult to control these countries any more and
subjugate them. As a result, the people, of the Indo-Pak sub-continent won
freedom. Many other countries followed suit. As a result there arose the
problem of the existence of these under-developed countries side by side with
the highly developed countries, such a difference has been a case of danger for
future wars. This country remains dissatisfied and may be an easy prey to
different-isms in the world. There may be a new association formed by these
under-developed countries under the leadership and guidance of an ambitious
part in the world. Soon another Great War may start. Any war started now will
destroy the world, as there will definitely be the use of the atom bombs. Apart
from that, there cannot be any marked difference between one nation and
another. We are now growing among us the spirit of oneness as belonging to one
huge family of man. No country can think in terms of her own requirements only.
Nation exists now to look after the national problems no doubt. But a nation
has right to exist in relationship with other nations. There must exist among
nations an international outlook. Without this international outlook no real
peace can exist in the world.
The question now is, how to help these
underdeveloped countries. The United Nations Organization made effort to organize
social works on world-footing. We have now the World Health Organization, the
United Nations Educational, scientific and Cultural Organization, the United
Nations International Children’s Emergence Fund. An immense good is being done
to help those countries that need them most. So, under the agencies of the
World Organization. Already a good work is being done for the good of humanity especially
for the people of the under-developed countries. America and the U.S.S.R are
also spending substantial help in the form of aide for the development of
various sectors in the under-developed countries. There may be an attempt to
win sympathy on the side of the helping nation. But politics apart, the aids
given by some countries materially prosperous, will certainly make these
underdeveloped countries attain prosperity by and by. Pakistan is an under-developed
country. The British had drawn on liberally the resources from this region.
Still, the country has resources yet untapped. With the foreign aid Pakistan is
able to use her natural resources for the good of the country, thereby adding
to the total happiness of the world. Many foreign experts are engaged to probe
the existence of oil or mineral. Already. They have been able to trace the
existence of oil, coal and natural gas. Had there been no such cooperative
spirit among some developed countries, there would have been no opportunity for
an under-developed country like Pakistan to develop, depending on her natural
resources. The under-developed countries should be helped under the care of the
United Nations Organization.
In ‘conclusion. We may say that there should be a
united effort to help these under-developed countries in a systematic way. The
existence of these countries is a cause of great concern for us all. Theta is
every possibility of a world conflagration due to the existence of these
under-developed countries. In these days of international relationship, there is every need for similar development of the lot of all the people in all the
nations of the world. The common man is the person to be helped for the good of
us all.
