ہاں! میں باغی ہوں

There has always been a trend in Pakistan and people of Pakistan, when a person do something new, whole nation starts doing this, whether this is clothes, designs or anything else. Everyone thinks that this thing is in demand and then others follow this blindly to earn profits without thinking that that monotonous following of a pattern may lead to absurdities.

This same trend was followed by todays so called media, mainly telecommunication media. But let me go in a little detail before coming to the main point.

During the reign of Gen. Musharraf, he devised complete freedom to media, so that it can become the voice of country and we can compete the Indian and western cultures. This brought in some of today’s very popular news channels, like Geo, Express news, and some others.

But today musharraf is gone, and what he left us behind, is an endless war of media to win over one another. Today this has become a hell of mess, once you hold the remote of your TV and start tuning the channels, after ever 1-2 channels there jumps in a news channel. There is a list of so many channels opening everyday as illegal kids are born out of womb in red light areas, and this race has not ended yet. There is no individuality in these channels, all portraying the same picture in the same style. Suppose the president announced something stupid, every channel is running in a race to win over the other, all making it thrilling, stunning and suspenseful news. All channels will run in this race, all of them will start showing this news, at the same time, in the same way.

But did these media channel owner’s have ever gone in depth and thought for a while, for a very careful and precise analysis of people and their view about this whole crap.

Today 90% of middle aged people prefer “GEO” without any reason, they prefer it, and they are not willing to see any other channel at all, whether the Geo is showing something good or not, they are watching Geo. Then comes the younger generation, today majority of them also prefer Geo but some whole don’t like the biased and prejudiced policies of Geo, like me, they see Express News and finds it quite good to see at. But here we see, there is a huge list of channels doing same thing, Hum, Aaj, Apna, TV one, ARY, Indus, Dawn, Royal, city42, and recently I came across a new channel, Metro News.

If something happens in any city of Pakistan, suppose some bomb explosion or some suicide attack, people 1st try to switch to Geo and then to Express. But no one sees this list of channels but still they are running this blind race. Did anyone ever ask them WHY?

I want to quote Mubashar Luqman’s wordings; today we have around 50 channels among of which 40 are news channels. Don’t you think this is a big question mark for all of us, do we need this much news channel at all?

Today when you have so many other problems, electricity, sugar, gas, employment, budgeting, and so much more, media must play a role of giving entertainment to people but no! Media is giving tension and depression and nothing else. Today among all other problems of Pakistan, problem of this much independence to media given by former president, seems to be a big mistake.

If we go a little bit deep in these media talks, apart from these news that they telecast, they try to make this whole situation more stunning by hiring some enthusiastic and zealous person from people and asking him to debate on Pakistan problems in a hot and attractive way to gain attention of people to see their channels. This is another race, among media channels. Hiring the most thrilling and clear talking anchor to give people what they want to see.

Now I think I have come to my main point, media is doing, the exact same thing, what people want to see, they show us what we want to be shown, therefore a question arises from inside us, shall we not demand a change for our system, shall we not bring a revolutionary change in our system. We need to think of our inside 1st and think what problems we have that we are being used in this way by other factors. Only then we can bring about a change.

Today hypertension has become a very common disease, diabetes has become common. Did anyone ever try to think why today there are so many patients of hypertension, why every 2nd person is victim of this? This is because of depression given by various factors, and media is one very important part of it.

Well. Today I am going to talk something about Islam and terrorism.
Today most people who are non-Muslims and they see the people of Islam, and then they see terrorism being spread, they come to a point that Muslims are terrorists, and yes we must accept the truth, we are.
Ok let me explain you a little for this bitter truth.  The west calls us, terrorists as propaganda. Whole European Union calls Muslims to be the beholder of fake Islamic values and using Islam as a mean to spread anarchy in world. If u try to broaden your mind and see things vastly, you will see that if not all, then in some cases of terrorism, Muslims were involved. If I take Pakistan, in today’s world, govt of pak helped US to invade in Asia and East Asia. They gave them military bases and such more. This was the initiation of a terrorism too although indirectly but yes, it was. Today thousands of Muslims are getting victims of such things, violence, rape, murders. I am not trying to say that Muslims are doing it in majority, every country has different rates, alone in US the annual murder rate, the annual suicide rate, the rape rate is more than anywhere else, but I am trying to show you people a broad picture.
On other hand, what Muslims did to clear their view of world? Did they justify themselves, did they try to be good people. No. Muslims had always been the most aggressive and emotional population of world, they flare up soon.
Today if you see, the most instability is in Muslim worlds, they are not one. They are fighting for baseless things. They are being ruled with others and they are not worried of the nationalism and sovereignty and the thing which has died today in them, is their “ego”.
Islam does not teach us terrorism, Islam does not teach us to kill innocents, to be immoral and unethical. Islam has taught us so strong values and norms which we have put backward and we are following a pseudo- Islamic culture. Pakistan is not a true Islamic state anymore, it is multi-ethnic society now, just called Islamic republic of Pakistan. We have lost the soul of our being, the thought of being “ashraf-ul-makhloqat”. Today we have lost so much but no one is even thinking of these things.
An Islamic verse is, you will get same leaders as you will be. And there it is going, we are corrupt ourselves and we got the most corrupt govt. of history. The most corrupt person of Pakistan is president of Pakistan, with highly illiteracy and so less sense of being president. He is a good source of joke to us.
Before pointing to someone and show his faults, we must try to see our inside and see how many faults we have in us. The pictsure that west is showing to world is fake, we must stand and correct this image and make Islam and govt separate. This is what secularism teaches us. The best govt is that which keeps religion aside and administration aside. When we try to mingle them together, it creates problems which are not aware of but they arise. 1st we must have a good infra-structure and then try to create a state of harmony and Islam must be dealt with proper and literate people.

Islam, the religion of peace, the religion of brother-hood IF correctly read and understood and if followed as it was explained by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
But unfortunately today there has come so much misinterpretation due to so called Muslim parties in Pakistan; today there are so many countless “firqa” in Pakistan. Some are doing this and some are doing that but Islam has basically become a “business”, a way to earn money. Today no one believes in Islam as it should have been, the way Islam should have been. And today if you see people whom you feel that they are true Muslims and are following Islam in real-sense, no you are wrong. If u go a little deeper in their knowledge and see the concept of things they have, you will get amazed that they don’t know the reality of anything they are doing, they are blind followers. They just know that God has made it “farz” to say prayers, to recite Quran and to be a good Muslim. Today even following Islam has become a culture not religion.
If we think of things more deeply, so many complexities have come in it just because of these so called mullahs and so much firqa-jaat…
In my view, there must be One Azan voice when it is time, but you hear hundred voices from different mosques, having few second gap and next starts, don’t you think this is bull-shit. In Saudi there is one time, one voice and nothing else. So from this you can imagine how much we are far from our religion.
Today we don’t even know the real meaning of trade which Islam taught us. I have seen so many examples myself in front of me that people have come out of mosques after prayers and the 2nd moment they start abusing and talking of bad deals in business, frauds and so on. Have you ever thought even for a moment, what kind of human you are? Are you a good human at least before becoming a Muslim or you are just wasting time in world?
Today everyone is morally, socially and ethically so weak. They don’t think of their character and its consequences before committing any crime. Their conscious has become dead.
Today we call it modern-ism but today this has shattered our societies and our identity of being a Human and Muslim. Today one barely remembers that what is his base, his origination and his identity for which he was born. He was born for some purpose but today all he thinks and recalls is materialistic approach.
If I come to pointing people, there are so many dual-nature people I have seen in my own city who follow Islam just because they know they have to die n come in front of God. With this fear which has been in his mind, by his parents, society and molvis, he is following religion but without understanding even single thing. He reads Quran with translation but his mind does not open. We are following a very wrong path on the name of Islam. The Islam being taught to us today, is the Islam with amendments, it is not the one which our Prophet taught us.
With this little writing, I want to make people understand that wake up and try to know what u are doing, and the thing u r doing is at least right or not, or u are also a blind follower with no thinking of your own???

HI all people.

Today I am going to talk about a sensitive issue, those things which whole Pakistani nation knows but very few acknowledge.

Yesterday was 14th, Feb and all news channels depicted it in a way that It seem to be a good event. The wordings were “today 14th Feb was celebrated with all love and respect of humanity”

But before celebrating this, have we ever tried to know its truth, its reality and its history. What it is, why it is celebrated and what was the story behind this. No I am at loss that no one ever tried to. Ok before I go on and continue it, I want you all people read the below pages and know what was the reality of this valentine day.

Now I come to my point, today people of Pakistan and almost all of muslim nation is facing a disaster just because Pakistani people have made a false way to entertain themselves. They have forgotten their own values and rules and they are Blindly following the customs and traditions which they don’t even know the reality behind. Today if you ask someone, any boy and girl or anyone, you will see amazing results, 85% people will say, ohh it is an occasion on which a lover gives gifts to his or her love. They express their deep love to eachother. But if asked “do u know how it started and who is st.valentine and what are the causes” then you will face a silence or just heard things being forwarded.

Today we have forgotten what we were, what we are and what is going to be our future. We have chosen a silence for everything, we see what we want to see. We don’t choose life as a way it must be, we have made it as it should not be. Today we are living life of an animal, who eats, drinks and then forgets the height of humanity, the essence of being “ashraf-ul-makhloqat” and we have even forgotten that we are the best “ummat” of world, we are muslims, we are blessed by God and by prophets. All we see today is a fake vision which has been forced upon us.

We have forgotten that we muslims have a very brilliant history, a very glorious past. Those inventions which are used today by The West, originated form Mulims, but today we have no value for them.

Coming towards a little end, today how many people around us, go to mosque, offer prayers, be a good muslim. Compare this percentage with how many people of you celebrate valentine day, basant etc etc.

All I want to say, is that we have chosen a wrong path, which we feel is more easy and better but infact it is not, we are going towards hell with our own will.

By this whole speech I didn’t not mean that celebrating valentine is wrong, but I want to make you people feel that wake up, and know that you are leading a life of misery, build up your inside and feel that you are not less than anyone too, you are also talented.
