I have always been at backstage and in a detracting position when people around me are talking about politics and religion especially Islam. Firstly I feel I am not much of a authentic spot and a knowledge base to be discussing about these two topics but I have a tremendous respect and an unbiased judgement for the believers and debaters and for the fact concept holders.
Anyways I am going to talk about the state of perilous democracy in Pakistan. We won't discuss about the state Pakistan is in as I am sure being a Pakistan or even a foreigner all of us are aware of the economical and political situation of this country. The modern term of democracy has quite changed in these last two decades. We simply state it as rule of the people. Today we govern our own selves and live in quite a free spirited world though we tend to think we live in one. Democracy should be about more than just casting a vote for country or any sector development. Let's take a little aggressive approach for voting in this country. It should be more of 'I love to vote' I don't want to vote' than instead of 'Voting is someone's right and everybody should cast their votes'. There lies to difference of understanding a perfect in sync democracy.

Pakistan is not at all a democratic country. If you can't understand that living inside of Pakistan then its hard for you to understand what democracy is. Democracy is out country is like game of thrones (well not the world famous Tv show please) that everyone want to snatch the first opportunity to get on that seat and govern this country like being the ruler is his/her birth right to ruler over this country and then set a legacy for just his or her family members to follow the lead tauba Nauzubillah (seek refuge from Allah) seems to them after our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) to take the ultimate rule. The pattern of these political agenda has been quite same and steady since Pakistan has been free. Sometimes I don't even know what we have been free from looking into the diabolical condition of Pakistan. Every living being in the world has that reproduction cycle to just pass on the gene to the next generation so to procreating and live upon through the next generation. We humans; oh let me me more specific we humans in Pakistan has been prone in developing so highly and we have just so many classifications like
Races
Casts
Subcasts
Religions
Societies
Sects
Families
Classes
Groups
Gosh you name it and its there. So much of diversification has evolved in us that to eradicate or completely destroy the other sometimes feels like the only way to bring your class and faith to rule golden. I do say it out loud and people yes sometimes call me crazy. Even I do (;)) when I say wild animals are better than us humans. At least they do things they are programmed to do and we being 'Ashraf al Makhlooqat' negate our one most special ability.
Having said all this why is it so difficult to believe that a political leader or ex leader in Pakistan would want to embed his/her own breed in the next set of ruling stage here by any means whether that is defaming, rigging elections, murdering, starting riots, bribing the systems and pricing this so called nation. These part leaders will do anything to be among public in the streets during elections and they and their children will probably even believe that they are good human beings probably doing good just because their ancestors have been doing them.
For them Its like watching a movie when you see a negative character or villain like you exactly and you tend to take out all the positive features and try tpo become the protagonist of the entire story. Hence the state of democracy is a normality where there has been so much classification and we want to live in that division because this has become very normal for even you and me. The is a polluted democracy and it will continue poisoning the cells of the next God knows how many generations. It will always be Chauhdrys, Bhuttos, Shareefs and etc etc.
We probably need to consider the left wing politics believer of leftists at least some credit to have an unbiased theory. Its probably because they have identified and discovered them to be not a part of this ruling system. We need to start saying a wrong is a wrong than to say I think this right is a wrong or this wrong is a right. This strained situation needs an evolved very powerful human being to at least provide a little balance to our Pakistani nation. We need to understand that democracy has lost its meaning until we can bring a new vocabulary to this dictionary. We all need to bring in the kind of democracy where everyone needs to understand the true value of togetherness and bring in the equality no matter you are different in contrast to your richness, poorness, sex, education, cast of any kind of classification. You just need to follow the traffic signals whether there is a warden or camera or no one on the street or even if you do it then you do it with a sense of righteousness with paying off the penalty and ticket. Let's not evolve into carnivores and find our true social gene pool!
Good luck Pakistan!
