Maula Hood system of management and justice !

Unless God does it! You cant kill him!( Maulay noo maula na maray tay maula nai mar sakda!)Ever since I heard this dialogue , I found it very filmy and unreal along with the character of Maula Jutt who was not supposed to lose under any circumstances and I looked down upon people who envied such a character who was impossible to exist in real life but the way things are going and the extent to which our collective frustration has grown I am desperate now to find a Maula Jutt in our society.

Maula Jutt is supposed to be someone who doesn’t play by the rules and is strong enough to beat the Bad guys and most important of all he doesn’t die. When I analyze popularity of characters like Maula jutt and Robin Hood than one thing is common in them that they were about societies in which system was too strong to let the weak people live in peace and these characters could muscle the system away to help the poor and weaker of the society.

Lets see what are the factors which create space for people like Maula Jutt and Robin Hood.

1: Members of the society are too lazy and psychologically too weak to struggle themselves so they clap for whoever is practically bringing solutions to their problems.

2: In the society there are few who have lost a lot themselves and now they have nothing else to lose so they struggle against the system for revenge and recognition. The ones who survive and succeed are remembered as heroes and the rest as nobodies so people struggle and try to succeed.

3: When dominant portion of the society is corrupt than struggling through the system is like trying to float by a boat of affected wood so success is more likely to come off the system.

No matter how we explain a society’s acceptance towards people who deliver results without following the rules but practically when individuals dominate the institutions than there is greater probability that such individuals would eventually start misusing the power rather than take corrective measures to rebuild the society and this is likely to happen because too much concentration of power in an entity usually results in a spill rather than a trickling down sharing of power to gain collective strength.

Waiting for a perfect man!

While working for the cellular and Education industries I met many women who were educated, good looking and had reasonable family backgrounds but were still single. On occasions I found them depressed for aging quickly and due to not being approached by a suitable person to get married with.

After having direct conversations and observations I realized that most of them were single not because they were never approached by anyone but due to the fact that they were not ready to marry someone who was not fulfilling the criteria of a “perfect man”. The way I understood it, this is the check list which an urban girl (especially the one who has done her graduation or Masters from a private educational institution)follows while saying yes to a man. Importance of the mentioned variables is according to the assigned weights.

Financial stability (70%)
Salary
Job/Position

Vehicle which he drives (10%)

Education (10%)

Looks (7%)
Height
Complexion

Family obligations (3%)
Groom’s brother and sisters still unmarried


In the above mentioned variables assigned weights might vary from person to person but most of the urban women appear to give primary importance to financial stability. Same trend seems to be popular in males also where men practically define a good family as the one which can raise or match status of the groom and can offer financial support and assistance.

With reference to the above mentioned observations please answer to the following:

Should it be considered “greedy” to look for a person who is financially sound or is it a “realistic approach” to life considering rising cost of living or is it our laziness that we want to join the achievers but do not want to share someone’s struggle?

Are “V” Losers by choice?

A colleague of mine gave an example to indicate the fact and the more I thought about it the more I realized that as a nation we are so good at creating issues and making a mess out of nothing that we loose our focus from more significant challenges. Such issues root from our inherent habits and no ruler can be blamed for them.

“V” are not organized :
Consider our graveyards for instance, by the exception of very few graveyards most of them do not have an index system so if you have to find a grave than you also have to find someone from the family of the departed to take you along. After prayers in the mosques (especially after Jumma and Eid prayers) we all rush to leave at once but we do not try to form a Queue or avoid walking on other people’s slippers. Same attitude is reflected when there is no one to control the traffic than we do not try to control our selves!

“V” are idle worshipers:
“V” love to create and maintain relationships with those who are having power (“V” leave them once their authority is over).”V” believe from the deepest core of our hearts that reference and bribery are the master keys to any problem so “V” are more than willing to compromise on our principals and moral values.

“V” are bad investors:
Major part of our earnings goes to worldly pursuits like spending on social occasions such as marriage and death ceremonies which consume a significant part of our savings and borrowed amounts but have absolutely no return.

“V” have impoverish thinking:

When “V” struggle than our focus is only on physiological ,Security or social needs rather than on self esteem or self actualization needs so “V” don’t try to utilize our potential and seek challenges.

Please participate by answering to the following.

1:Is not being organized the reason why we are not organized politically or is it due to the fact that unlike other nations our messiah leader has yet not appeared who would change everything after organizing and leading a revolution.

2: Do “V” practically believe in God’s existence?

3: “V” have to spend on social occasions like marriage and death anniversaries because every society has its own ways of socialization like in west there are bars and clubs and if don’t spend to celebrate or commemorate such occasions than it would further reduce social get-togethers which have come to a minimum due to terrorism and social atmosphere. Do u agree?

4: A society in which most of the members are struggling to make their ends meet. Can it produce such scientists, writers, producers who can make a difference?

Confused Muslims!

The more I observe the more I realize that Islam is basically a way of Life in which primary focus is on behaving in a certain manner in our routine life and the other part of the religion which is about prayers and meditation is actually of lesser importance.

I feel this way because with the passage of time I have seen the society deteriorating in terms of moral values and conduct .On the same channel we see clip of a Beauty contest ( of the stage which is suitable for adult viewers only )and an episode of “Alim on Line” by Dr.Amir Liaqat Hussein for guiding on religious affairs.
I see people keeping beard, calling themselves hajji sab and not honoring commitments or asking for adult entertainment at the DVD stores or being involved in bribery . Women following hijab continuously seeking male companionship. People performing Hajj(Pilgrimage) through income for which it is almost certain that it is not hard earned. The most painful of all unrighteous deeds/sin which is telling a Lie/Falsehood has become acceptable and a norm in our society. “V” the whole Muslim society collectively have failed to understand curse of Interest based economy .



When I mention sins or ill practices by people keeping a beard or women following Hijab than it does not mean that I do not consider others as Muslims but I mention it to indicate confused acts . “V” are ready to talk about a possible bloody Islamic revolution (Iran’s Khumani style) but we are not ready to filter our entertainment, change the way we treat our women or increase our income without actually working for it.


1: Can we have a new censor policy, banking system without a forced radical change?

2: Do we actually want to change this society and ourselves?

3: Did Taliban succeed and are still successful because major part of the society wanted to change but did not want to step out of its comfort zone so when a group enforced Islamic practices than the bodies followed which the minds knew was right?
