... pause and think about where you are and how much Pakistan has contributed to to where you are. ( A simple exercise would be to compare the number of Indian Muslim International Students to Pakistani International students on American and British campuses... In my day ... there were 30 Pakistanis to 1 Indian Muslim on an any given American University campus).
Whatever Pakistan’s flaws... it goes without saying that many are heavily indebted to it... I suppose one can only speak for one’s self... my mother would not be a highly successful doctor and a professional had it not been for her grandfather, an ardent Muslim leaguer, who forced the girls in his family to go to school... because he felt that now that Pakistan had been created ... it could only be sustained with women’s education.
Without my parents, both direct beneficiaries of Pakistan, I would be no where... So think... before you abuse the country next... whether you would have that scholarship, that university admission, that base for you to be where you are... had it not been for Pakistan.
Ofcourse this does not mean we blind ourselves to Pakistan’s flaws - of which there are many and some of them most ridiculous- but we must correct them as Pakistanis indebted to Pakistan...
As Benjamin Franklin said ... My country right or wrong... if right to continue to be right and if wrong to make right.
