Fell in Love with Democracy This Valentine Day
By Ghazala Khan • Feb 13th, 2008 • Category: Pakistan Vote'08, Politics, Worth A Second Look • (2,024 views) • 12 CommentsThe proud people of Pakistan has a deep affection and regard for democracy. The nexus of Pakistanis with democracy is two-way and recurrent despotic regimes have smeared lots of mud on this pretty nexus.
Sixty years ago, our beloved Quaid-e-Azam freed us from the tentacles of British and saved us from the high-handedness of India, and as soon as he left this world, we also got off-tracked.
Now in these fearsome and desperate times, we need to ignite a perfervid passion in our hearts, and we need to realize with vengeance that we are free and we have got to realize the value of freedom and we need to realize as how much precious this treasure of democracy is for us.
We, all who are free, and who treasure our freedom above all the gifts from Allah must bring unity in our rows, we must know each other better, we must foster peace, harmony and love, and we need to trust each other more and communicate with each other more. We have to take care of each other and we must join hands to fight out the scourge of terrorism, and we must fell in love with our darling basic rights and the fairy of democracy.
One of the things which make Pakistan great is the many young people we have in borough, who are energetic, optimistic, brilliant, aggressive and loving, and who know the value of democracy and who have faith that Pakistan will surge ahead with the speed of light. These young people need to do a speed dating with democracy.

FALL in love with democracy…absolutely smashing idea…!

Democracy is a lovely idea, Ghazala and you are spot on. It’s such a loved one, the more lovers she has the more its beauty gets scintillating, and the more it is shared the more it’s lovers get happy. It’s such a fairy, which needs badly in Pakistan to rule our hearts, but to get this democracy fairy, we have to grind ourselves hard.

energetic, optimistic, brilliant, aggressive and loving, if such kind of youth is already there, then the future of Pakistan is rosy and chocolaty.

Ghazala:
Very nice article! Like all the love affairs, even this will ask for sacrifices. Love is as much about sacrifice as it is about passion. It is as much about giving up of yourself as it is about finding the “other”. It is as much about love of pain as it is about the pain of love.
For a land that has given the legends of Shirin Farhad and Mirza Sahiban.. it should not be too hard to do it again!
May you succeed in your love.
Cheers,
Desh
