Everyone in this world is prone to dream. One
always makes a plan about his future. So, I have a Pakistan of my dreams. It
would be a Pakistan, in which there will be no reclaims, communalism, and
provincialism. First of all, I would root out communalism whatever its shape or
form may be. All such tendencies which can enforce the separatism and
disruption would be eliminated.
Secondly, I want Pakistan to be scientifically
advanced technologically better and agriculturally sound. I would like to build
a Pakistan where science and scientific ideas along with faith and fanaticism,
crude emotionalism and coarse sentimentalism would rule. I would like to bring
Pakistan at the apex of scientific and technological progress, because modern
age is an age of science, every country that wants to prosper and progress must
give impetus to science, otherwise it cannot dream of material glory.
The Pakistan
of my dreams would be a Pakistan which is self-sufficient in food. All the
waste and barren lands would be cultivated for achieving- self-sufficiency in
food grains. Agriculture would be given special attention because agriculture
is the base of Pakistan economy. An agrarian revolution would be brought about
by launching intensive agricultural programs and farmers would be asked to use
better seeds and fertilizers and modern tools and implements.
Next, I would like the country to be highly industrialized.
This is the age of machines and industrialization of the country is a must if
the country is to be taken to the zenith of progress and prosperity.
I would also strengthen Pakistan’s defense. The
country would be so strong that no enemy would ever dare to cast her covetous
eyes on the sacred soil of Pakistan. Defense and security of the country would
be of paramount importance. For this, the country would be equipped with all
the paraphernalia of modern defense because people worship military power in
the present day world.
Elimination of ignorance and illiteracy would be my
next endeavors, because these are also a curse. People would be educated on a
mass-scale. Then the system of democracy would be workable. Individual liberty
and freedom would be ad infinitum.
Another thing which I would like to see in Pakistan
of my dreams would be the abridgment of the gap between the rich and the poor.
National income would be distributed rationally among the sections of the
society. Provision of food, housing and clothing to one and all would be given
top priority in the Pakistan of my dreams. For achieving and accomplishing this
socialism would be the only remedy which if practiced sincerely would really
usher Pakistan in an era of economic equality.
Thus, Pakistan would really be counted among the
leading powerful countries of the world and would also guide those countries
which are still slaves of big powers.
