10 Reasons Why Pakistan Has a Bad image

Sunday, 24 June 2012

A country’s image is a reflection of that country itself, recently i posted reasons to love Pakistan and beautiful places of Pakistan one should visit. But unfortunately, there are few things because of which Pakistan is facing a serious image problem in the world. If Pakistan has a bad image globally today that is because there are many, many bad things happening in Pakistan. The following are the 10 reasons why Pakistan is facing a serious image problem in the global community today:



1. Terrorist attacks

Suicide attacks in the name of religion have greatly marred Pakistan’s image in the eyes of the rest of the world. Islam is a religion of peace and teaches love and tolerance, not hatred and indifference towards other religions. Many religious militant groups are tarnishing the name and reputation of Pakistan in the eyes of the global community. To curb these religious extremists it is vital to build up the lost image and glory of Pakistan and control these forces. 


2. Corruption

Corruption is rampant in Pakistan from grass root level. Starting from a low paid clerk to a highly posted bureaucratic, corruption has become a part of Pakistani system.


3. Political uncertainty

 The political system of our country is highly unpredictable and volatile. Due to this there arise many problems including lack of foreign investment, detoriating global political standing, incomplete and inefficient economic policies etc. 


4. Law and order

 We are viewed as one of the most lawless states in Asia where there is little law and almost no order. Kidnapping for ransom has become one of the most profitable businesses in Pakistan. The percentage of acuities, thefts, car snatching, bank robberies etc have all been on the rise lately.


5. Military Coup

 Since the inception of Pakistan, military dictatorship has prevailed in our country. In almost all developed countries of the world democracy is the system of government. A democratic nation is a highly successful and reputable nation.   


6. Economic Instability

 Economic instability in Pakistan is due to lack of foreign investment in the country. Foreign investment will not only provide more foreign exchange but will also lead to decrease in the rising unemployment rate of the country.


7. Illiteracy

An important weapon in the progress of any nation is manpower. Without an educated workforce, prosperity is unattainable. Unfortunately majority of the population in our country is uneducated leading to slow growth and progress. 


8. Flight of Youth

Due to growing insecurity and lack of job opportunities, the youth of Pakistan is going abroad for a better future instead of contributing to the country’s development. How to stop this brain drain is an important question which needs to be answered. Our youth can play a major role by involving itself in nation building activities and contributing towards a progressive Pakistan.


9. Disrespect for Women

Honor killings, female infanticide, rape, sexual abuse, child molestation are a common feature of Pakistani society. Due to the complicated and corrupted system of justice women in Pakistan are deprived of their basic rights. The victims are not provided timely justice .Furthermore, time and again they are abused and exploited at the hands of the merciless society. 


10. Lack of patriotism

We, as a nation have no love and respect for our country. We are ashamed to call ourselves Pakistanis .If we cannot show appreciation and respect for our country and develop a sense of ownership and belonging to this homeland, why should we expect others to do so.

15 Reasons Why I Still LOVE Pakistan

Sunday, 24 June 2012

There are a million reasons to love Pakistan as its my beloved country and everyone loves home sweet home. This Country came into existence with support of Allah Almighty as the Muslims of sub-continent were not strong enough to force and resources. The Whole world was amazed and astonished that this feeble lot of people actually achieved what they were fighting for. The World does not know.... Allah took us to our destination and he is still protecting our beloved country. Even with flaws in the system, even with less material resources, this country has given me an opportunity to become what I am. 
  • This is the place where i have seen families stick together trough thick and thin, when so-called developed world is lost in solitude when emotions and troubles strike.
  • This is the place where I've seen relatives for your well being and share the joy of success with you, when the natives of western countries are on their own in pursuits of happiness.
  • This is the place where friends and neighbors come in to rescue you from troubles and financial crisis even when they are stuck in similar situations.
  • This is the place where people will actually cry and be devastated when you die. Your absence will be felt beyond the day of your funeral.
I still Love Pakistan :) for millions of reasons, few of them are:


1. People

I love the Pakistani people – they are resilient, diverse and most entrepreneurial. They have survived calamities, famines, upheavals, injustices and exploitation and yet retain a sense of humor.


2. Natural Beauty

From the pristine peaks in the north to the mangroves of the Indus delta, Pakistan blends climates, geographies, terrains altogether. From the Cholistan Desert to the peaks of Nanga Parbat, this country is blessed with all the beauty of Mother Nature.


3. Cuisine

Nothing can compare to Pakistani cuisine. Whether it is a simple Tandoor ki Roti with Achaar or Palak or the intricate Biryani with ingredients and spices of all hues, the food is out of this world.


4. Identity and sense of belonging

I feel a seems of belonging and identity in my homeland. Rather than being called a third grade citizen in another country, I feel proud to bad a first class citizen of Pakistan.


5 .Human Values

Human values such as respect for the elderly, kindness, humility and humbleness are all part of our religion. That is why we as a nation practice and follow these basic human values.


6. Unity

Pakistan belongs to its people and not to the corrupt politicians and bureaucrats. Pakistan as a nation has been resilient enough to withstand corruption year after year for 63 years. Also in times of difficulty and natural disasters we as a nation have always stood tall and helped our fellow country men.


7. Civilization

 Nothing can take beat the heritage and cultural background that Pakistan holds. Pakistan is not the just the Indus Civilization of Harappa and Moen jo Daro but also traces its roots back to the Gandhara ,Greek and Islamic influences.


8. Homeland

This country has given me a shelter and I feel protected within its arm. Most people think that Pakistan is unsafe. But to me, living in Pakistan and to die here is a biggest desire as I would love to have a small portion of Pakistan’s pure land.


9. Sense of pride

When I look at the journey of Pakistan these 63+ years, I feel proud because it is the same country that did not even have office stationery at the time of birth and now Pakistan has become a nuclear state.


10. Our Belief

It is time for true Pakistanis like us, to stand up and give our nation a helping hand. It does not ask for much, just your love for the nation and a good ruler. I LOVE PAKISTAN and very soon we shall see our efforts bear fruit and the new rising sun will take Pakistan to greater heights.


Oh Almighty! Bless this country with your divine Love and keep on loving us. We are not wise; we are flawed; we can damage ourselves; we dont have the wisdom; our approach and tolerance is limited; Only YOU can save us from harm. Oh Allah! please Dont lift Your hand from our Heads. Please save us from self-destruction. Only You have the Power to save us. Oh Almighty! Bless me and my countrymen with the vision to identify the path of righteousness. Please enable us to become what YOU desire us to become. Almighty! Save our Beloved motherland from external and internal threats. Please take us Your AMAAN, please provide us shelter of your Love. Oh Almighty! YOU have blessed me with a wonderful life in this motherland. Please bless me also with the honor of dying on a land non other than this. Bless my fossils with the honor of contributing in the fertility of this land so blessed with your blessings.

Ameen, Summ Ameen

Top Business Management Schools in Pakistan

Sunday, 24 June 2012

With the influx of foreign investment in Pakistan in the recent years, there has been a dire need of trained business professionals and hence, for the set-up of good business schools, especially in the private sector. Keeping this need in mind, a large number of business institutes have been established all over the country, a lot of them also claiming recognition and affiliation with some well-recognized foreign universities. The idea is to produce a surplus amount of professionals in the field that can contribute to the growth and development of these foreign businesses and industries.


There is a long list of accredited business universities in Punjab and Sindh. For instance, Punjab is famous for Lahore University of Management Sciences, Suleman Dawood School of Business, FAST – NU Lahore Business School, Lahore School of Economics , University of Punjab, Imperial College of Business Studies, Bahauddin Zakariya University in Multan, Fatima Jinnah University in Rawalpindi and Air Univeristy, Quaid-e-Azam University, NUST Business School and Riphah International University in the Federal Capital, Islamabad.


Sindh also has the country’s top-most universities like Institute of Business Adminitration, Bahria University, Shaheed Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology, Iqra University, Greenwich University, Preston University and the University of Karachi.


These universities offer not only under-graduate programs but also offer a wide variety of graduate and post-graduate programs like Masters. M.Phil, PhD. SZABIST in Karachi has been listed among the top business schools in the world from the year 2001 to 2006, every single year. According to the Higher Education Commission, Pakistan, the top 5 business schools in the country are as follows:


  • 1. Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore
  • 2. Institute of Business Administration (IBA), Karachi

Dating in Pakistan - Dream of Pakistani Boys

Tuesday, 19 June 2012
Dating in Pakistan is a complex and newly emerging concept. Pakistan mostly comprises of Muslim people from rural areas and conservatives belonging to middle class society. They all look down upon this new phenomena evolving in our Islamic country. Many areas of Pakistan are liberal in their approach such as Lahore in Punjab and Karachi in Sindh. On the other hand, in many western parts of Pakistan like the N.W.F.P and Baluchistan you will find age old tribal customs which prohibit this liberalism.


Dating begins and blooms in certain places, like colleges and universities. Love blossoms while studying together and finally after a few years the couple might consider marriage the traditional way. This means that the boy's family finally shows up at the girl's home for the proposal. This leads to engagement ceremony and eventually marriage. Though there is nothing evidently wrong with this sort of marriage arrangement but our religion Islam does not permit mixing of men and women for the purpose of romance. Many people oppose this growing liberalism. They claim that this phenomenon arises from the West. We as Muslims should not follow in the footsteps of the western culture and traditions. Even Indian media is responsible to quite some extent for promoting this concept through their movies which portray love, dating and other such notions commonly. They leave a deep impression on youngsters mind.


Online dating

Online dating is revolutionizing the social scene in Pakistan. Since not many social opportunities are available to the young generation, they are resorting to the dating over the Internet. Internet access in Pakistan is steadily growing at one of the fastest rates in Asia and finding love is becoming easier. It is gaining popularity because of mobility issues for many females in the country. Online dating has helped people in Pakistan to take a new turn where people have the freedom to choose and to arrange dates online first before finally arranging a romantic encounter.


Conclusion

Our society still considers this socially unacceptable and unethical. Friend ship is acceptable but with in limits. Religion, moral values, culture and social setup of our country does not allow us to practice this norm. Being a Muslim myself, I feel we must condemn this sort of activity in public places. Our religion does not permit such western influences; therefore we must abide by it. The correct approach to a successful relationship would be when the parents of both the boy and the girl are involved to settle and make decisions regarding the future of their children. We, as Muslims, should realize and respect our parents’ decisions to search for a genuine and suitable life partner. It is this blind faith and trust that we bestow upon our parents that makes our religion superior and above the rest.
