Main Bhee Pakistan Hoon, Tu Bhee Pakistan Hay
By Maham Javed • Aug 14th, 2008 • Category: Politics, Worth A Second Look • 12 Comments •“We should have a State in which we could live and breathe as free men and which we could develop according to our own lights and culture and where principles of Islamic social justice could find free play.” These glorious words and many others of our Quaid seems to have fallen in a dark pit or on deaf ears. The endless sacrifice of our elders are not so little as to gamble nor is the worth of Pakistan so crude after sixty-one years as to stack them off as rubbish.
This day, this wonderful day is an epitome of what it means to be free of slavery, to glorify and to breathe freely in this sacred soil of our motherland. After two years of my grandmother’s death, I still remember her words, her agonizing stories of the wide-scale massacre and the tenderness and love sparkling to life in her eyes as she lovingly phrased the word ‘Pakistan’. The tears gently trickling down her eyes and on her withered cheeks as she would talk of how she had to leave her home and the melancholy settling around me as my emotions veered, portraying bloodshed through her words. And I ask this: Is the price of freedom at the cost of her ancestors’ lives, money and everything they had so priceless as to gamble this beautiful country of ours?
Today, I don’t give a damn if it’s the army or the corrupted people at every level who for their fleeting luxuries are willing to sell this state to any passing stranger. Army or no army, the same blood flows in our veins, the same intensely throbbing love has been passed down to us for generations after generations and it still dwells somewhere in our mutilated bodies; lurking for the right moment. And I ask myself this, when is the right moment if not today? Is 14th August a day to celebrate by squandering money on frivolous things like buying flags of very shape and size and draping our residences and cars with them and when it has passed to return to the same abyss of gnawing on this state of ours? Why close the book tucking this day at the very beginning, never to look at it again and then ready to open it with the same feverish excitement the next year? Why not make every day the 14th of August? Are we so immune, such beasts that while every child of ours reads this unforgettable history and the hardwork of Quaid which evidently resulted in his death, we plow steadfastly with bribes and succumbing to America?
“Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim Ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure and which, we hope others will share with us”. Where is our conscience that we hear and read these beautiful words of our Quaid and find all the possible flaws in this treasure given to us? The flaw lies not within the state but within us. How can we be so thankless, so ungrateful as to blame everything starting with “Oh, Pakistan has nothing” or “I’m gonna leave it as soon as I can. I can’t stomach living here.” How can we even on this day adorn everything with green and white and then as soon as the day gives into the night, thankfully heave a sigh of relief and then sit on our couches watching Indian movies?
Buying the movies of those Indians who never fail to grasp on the opportunity to do bodily harm to Pakistan and who are so mercilessly butchering our brothers in Kashmir? “If we want to make this great State of Pakistan happy and prosperous we should wholly and solely concentrate on the well-being of the people, and especially of the masses and the poor”. What does the word Quaid means? Have we ever stopped to think on it before mindlessly saying “Quaid, Quaid” like a stupid, pea-brained robot? Do we not owe anything to this man who gave his life for Pakistan and for today? Do we not have an obligation to do whatever he told us to do and to emerge as one of the most prosperous states in this world? Wake up Pakistanis! You should bend on your knees and thank God and redeem what you have lost before God labels you as one of the most ungrateful nations of time and take this bounty back.
Do something for Pakistan for once in your misbegotten lives other than for your own scaly skins! Today is the day for redemption otherwise a time will come for regrets and when faced with regret it is the most bitter experience of a man’s life. It stays with you for life. Sixty-one years is not a small period of time. Strive to do everything for Pakistan and in return it will all be for your own good. What is past will remain past but the future brings a new day, a new beginning, an every 14th August, the creation of our own birth. Love Pakistan and make it proud and then celebrate; celebrate by making everything green and white. When that time comes you will have earned it, otherwise save this money. Pakistan has no use for it. Go abroad like so many of you want to do, never caring a tuppence for the fact that Pakistan needs you. It is in dire need of you. If all of you are incapable of this then atleast feel guilty that you never deserved Pakistan and that your love for it is a small and meaningless thing. Pakistan is broken; she is in need of her sons and people like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Liaquat Ali Khan, Allama Iqbal and Mohammad Ali Jinnah.
Become one of them. Heal her. Remember she has all that you will ever have no matter where you go and you are all she has. Remember she is calling out for you. Remember and work for her, for she is you and you are her. Remember. Remember and never forget! May Allah bless Pakistan.

I agree with the author that today is the day for redemption, and this point in our history is for make or break. We must act now.
Is this the Pakistan of Quaid? Our half part has fallen, and now some parasites are trying to eat the rest out. We must rise now, otherwise recall the daggers and kirpans of Sikhs and Hindus.
Its true that we are loosing the True meaning of Pakistan ……….. but still on our parts we are doing it … and I have a firm believe that today’s generation is more concern about Pakistan’s todays condition and crisis.. They really want to do something for their beloved country and on their own they are doing it … like for Example from my side …i am the part of World Wide Residency Programme for RedWiki which is governed by IBM world wide ….. One of my fellow class member of undergraduates is in HP and leading its Hardware Lab as Project Manager ….. I know couple of my friends are abroad and working in companies like Cisco - Alcatel - Al-Futtaim Technologies - Siemens .. that doesnt mean that they are not doing anything for the country — They feel proud of their Country as because of this country they have been recognized ……………………
Long Live Pakistan
Where is our conscience that we hear and read these beautiful words of our Quaid and find all the possible flaws in this treasure given to us? The flaw lies not within the state but within us.
This is called Self Accountability. We as a Pakistanis always makes other accountable of our own dirt. It is our national attitude that never accept reality and put blame on others for all wrong. We are basically cowards who can not stand with their own wrong actions. If we won’t accept our wrong done, how we can learn.
A child gets fails in subject, he puts blame on Teacher, Parents stands with children even they know that our born child is wrong… this kind of attitudes encourages more wrong, less right actions. This attitude then gets solid and this so called young people then creates real mess at every level of society. and at last it effects whole country.
We have to think always positively and do decisions on merit. Otherwise it is like sitting in sinking ship. 61 years for learning is not a small age. it is more than average age of one Pakistani. If still we are expecting more time to learn then it is like ” ANOOKHA LA-DLA, KHILAN KO MANGAY CHAND RAYYY…!”
Wake up my country men and women. It is time to hit at right point at right time. We may find right point later on in life but NOT RIGHT TIME. and Time makes the real difference between good or bad decision.
As we are entering into the 62nd year of our life as an independent country, we need to ask ourselves as what exactly is our vision?
Dear Vision is pretty clear and stated in Quaid-e-Azam Speeches. He was such a great leader that his that time vision is still not old and we can easily follow it. Problem is not with Vision. Problem is with implementation and strategies. No doubt, we have to remind the Vision of Quaid-e-Azam because when you not touches such things, you can’t exert all our your efforts.
61…. 14 August came and gone purposelessly. When we will change our language from “KERNA CHAHIYA to ABBHI SHURO KARAIN”.
I leterally dislike this word KERNA CHAHIYA…. It is ambiguous term that has no hands, no feet.
In Japan, meetings never starts like Meeting Start Time 9:30 and Finish Time 10:15. They follows minutes and seconds like Meeting Start Time 9:03 and Finish Time 10:14. Why? Only one Reason… They know the value of Time.
Every single minutes passed Idle means incurred opportunity cost of this one minute. and these minutes make the difference for the whole Nation. Try to understand the concept of this Opportunity Cost. It is making all the difference in this world now a days.
Regards,
Pakistanis must love Pakistan like home the sweet home that it is. No fear monger has to blackmail us by reminding any daggers and “kirpans” - love on the basis of hatred is fake. When you really love your own home then you learn to love your neighborhood, too. We love our Pakistan, and our love must be unconditional like the love between mother and her children, usually must be.
It is wonderful to see this spirit in Pakistanis and especially the youth.
All the best to my fellow Pakistanis!
Warm regards
Welcome back Dr. alshaer,
I am really glad to see you. ” Yaum Azadi Mubarak ” to you, and all my fellow Pakistani.
Pakistan Painda Baad
