Youth, The key to Revival of Pakistan

There was once a time when Muslims of the subcontinent were living their lives as slaves of the English and the Hindus. After enjoying the golden Mughal era, this was the most embarrassing and miserable period of downfall for them. It was then, that an immediate need of leaders arose who could unite them and take them from the shadows of darkness to the beacon of light. Closeness to Islam and acquisition of knowledge was the utmost requirement of that time. And so, under the dynamic leadership of Muslim scholars and Jinnah`s efforts a piece of land under the name of Islam was taken so that Muslims can have their own state to practice their religion peacefully.

Now after 64 years of Pakistan’s existence, the condition of our country is disappointing. Corruption, dishonesty, lack of education & basic amenities of life, unemployment, instability of government and security, is this for what Pakistan was crafted out? All over the globe, Pakistanis are feared as terrorists and are killed in the name of war against terrorism through drone attacks within the country`s boundaries. There is no value of human life left in this country, if someone is lucky enough to survive a drone attack, a bomb blast or a stray bullet, hunger would be enough to kill him anyways!

Pakistan is going through a pretty rough phase and we, it`s nationals are responsible for it. We are the ones who have voted for an incompetent government and have set them on a task to make our future even darker.

Pakistan is in deep need of a revival and for that it needs to make use of all of its potential assets. And the most important asset that Pakistan possesses is its youth. Youth and only youth has the power to bring a change and turn things in the favour of this country. Pakistani youth makes about 40% of Pakistani population. It is highly energetic, passionate, daring, expressive, talented, competent, observant and most of all is educated. All it needs is a good leader who is able to handle this amazing power and craft out wonders for Pakistan. This can be done by exercising the right of vote rationally and giving votes to those who are capable and who deserve rather than to those who are incompetent and just want to fill in their Swiss Bank accounts.

For a nation to acquire a dignified status, it is compulsory for each member of the nation to first acquire a dignified status for his/her own self by improving  the level of education, uplifting his/her faith, calibre ,morals and developing respect for others. It is now or never, it is the high time to turn our weaknesses into our strengths and to bring that huge change that is well needed in this time of great misery and helplessness. It is the time to make use of the keys weapons that are Unity, Faith and Discipline as guided by the founder of Pakistan and soon Pakistan will be revived in the light of those perspectives for which it came into existence.
