DEMONS Rising

Someone recently shared through whatsapp a VDO showing torture on about an year old human babies. This VDO started when an offender who was using his one hand to hold recording device( due to which his face could not be seen though through features of children and Arm sleeve of the offender gave impression of Tamil Indian or Bengali origin of VDO)) started slapping the children through the other hand to make them cry and then he threw them on floor and one child started bleeding. The VDO ended when the camera focused on a child’s eyes and the offender started strangling him.

This was not the first VDO of such nature which different people had shared but other VDOs were about slapping or kicking children of various ages or throwing them roughly on bed. Different people who shared such content requested to forward for creating awareness but my first concern is that the more we would share the more acceptable such content would become and secondly I suspect that number of interested viewers for such sort of VDOs is rising and this is what concerns me the most.

“V” the humans seek knowledge to grow above animals but with the passage of time “V” are falling below them so it cant be just knowledge which differentiates us from beasts. To me too much fulfillment (may it be of wealth, Knowledge, resources, Access to different types of entertainment or of any other sort) pushes towards such direction when “V” start crossing nature’s boundaries. I think solution is following religion according to its spirit. Firstly it brings self-control and restraint and secondly our own pleasure and satisfaction for animal needs becomes secondary. Some people say that religion is the largest contributor to loss of human lives since start of mankind but I think it is not religion rather its followers who failed to grasp the spirit of God’s orders and who did not use their gift of emotional intelligence.

I think “V as parents while raising kids should be putting a greater emphasis on teaching values and should reduce our obsession with academic grades. Apparently buyers of such shows (at Dark web where people are tortured at viewer's order)are FINANCIALLY stable and successful people but MORALLY dead."V" should also try to slowdown such demonih entertainment to come to surface/common content sharing platforms.

Character

Like any other Pakistani, I feel frustrated with the way this country is being managed. Because of having access to media, I can compare my country with other countries and make a contrast in terms of Political, Social and Economic systems. One thing discussed less is our own national character i.e. How do the common people behave? I feel that the mess in this country is not just because of incompetent and dishonest politicians but because of Incompetent and dishonest people(Politicians are not the cause rather are the effect of the way "V" behave). I see shortage of

Honesty
Tolerance
Discipline
Faith
Entrepreneurship
Creativity and innovation


As these elements build and define national character, we need to take following measures.

Education: Shift focus from Post graduate programs to Skill development programs .Improve pay and incentives for Technicians as compared to Engineers/Doctors as they are needed in larger numbers. This would improve employment and workers would not feel frustrated being over qualified .Better earning reduces justification for dishonesty and friction between socioeconomic groups
For higher education, financial incentives should be given to people studying BIO TECH,MATH,PHYSICS,ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE,GENETIC ENGINEERING and some sort of disincentive should be used for people studying finance so that we produce more researchers and scientists rather than experts of Casino economies who currently have better job opportunities but who contribute a little to well being of society.

LAW Enforcement: Divide police into three separate divisions
Monitoring and Reporting
Investigation
Operations

These separate departments break concentration of power at operational level police. These divisions can coordinate through coordinators and IT setup .Police is first line of defense for civilians. Feeling secure can reduce level of frustration which is reflected on roads and at public places.

Entrepreneurship: Bulk of management training institutions are offering MBA degree after simple graduation. It should be made compulsory to have a technical degree like in Furniture making or Food processing before registering for MBA programs. Such people are more likely to use Management degrees for Business in their respective field. Short courses of Business management can be introduced in Urdu and Punjabi to encourage women/undergrads/People with basic education for self-employment.More effective Micro Finance and financial assistance needs to be offered to small scale/young enterprises.

Religion: As a nation we spend a lot of time showing/expressing concerns regarding how wrong others are rather focusing on are we right? Any degree for religious qualification should not be without comparative study with at least one sect and religion and along with compulsory courses in IT and English. This way religious leaders would stay in touch with what is happening around and would also have a realistic view of modern world. There should be reasonable pay for them so that they don’t try to over emphasize on few incidents/events and elements to play with public sentiment rather give a broader and realistic picture of religion.

Sports:"V" need to expand focus from few sports and treat Sports as an Industry.This would help us become more competitive.An average citizen while seeing its national team winning against teams of developed world would start feeling confident during global interaction.

At the end anyone can ask that who would bring these changes?

A simpler answer can be 'The Government' so participate in electoral process.
A tougher choice can be to take initiative at individual level so that eventually many honest and tough individuals encourage others to be like them. I think great nations rise by following footsteps of great and guiding individuals . “V” the Pakistanis need to create such individuals at home!
