Malala - One More Disputed Issue

Here comes another favorite thing for Pakistani Nation

If we look closely at the major events / issues in last ten years or so, we see that in almost all important issues, the Pakistani society is divided in segments.
Same is case for Malala Yousafzai

One segment says, she is an intelligent little girl who is brave at the same time, while others say she is an agent of America

I dont want to go in depth of this issue and give my opinion. The main point of concern for me is the splitting of this society. The increasing gap between people of this country.

What are the reasons for this confronting opinions and clash of thoughts?
To find the actual reason of all this, we have to go into the roots of the mindset of our people.

Right from early days of our lives, we are somewhat "under pressure" people. Our elders never tolerate their youngsters to argue with them no matter how wisely youngsters behave.

We are never trained to brainstorm ideas even at the age of 25. Likewise our primary education institutions never promote thinking and then establishing the final thinking.
Even at the college level education, i have found that a student who asks frequently is not very much liked or appreciated by the professors.

In madrassahs also, students are trained to "Learn by Heart" or use Ratta technique which may be in some apects useful but very dangerous in others.

After passing these stages in life, we can never have a healthy and intelligent mind to think, verify and then reaching a final conclusion.
If we see on the issue of Malala, again we are divided into two major segments.
Each segment believes what his leader wants him to believe. One segment promoting her brilliance and bravery and the other seeing a foreign hand (as usual) and naming it a conspiracy against Pakistan. In all this situation, media is playing its role for the sake of their business only.


Lets play our role to a tolerant and truly educated mindset. Lets have analysis of the situations. Lets not be guided by so called "Leaders" who use masses for their own vested interests.

Allah bless us all
