What do Pakistanis think about The West

Hello Everyone,

As you know there are two sides of a coin, so there are diverse opinions about The West in Pakistanis views. Some Pakistanis think of them to be super-humans and think that there are no better people than "Gora's" (Westerns) and others hate them thinking that they have a huge deficiency of Moral values.

One side of the coin

The people who think westerns to be super-humans also think that there is an exception of corruption in the west, which, you know is a false concept. Some extremists of this type think of the westerns to be super-honest. They make them their ideals, follow them and try to be them. Well that's not all, they are also criticized by their elders who think The West to be violators of moral values and human rights. The people who think west to be their ideal are young and mostly teenagers.

Other side of the coin

The other people, mostly the elder ones, think westerns to be extremist because of the colonialism they had been involved since the British India and we cannot erase the dreadful memories from their minds. One has to explain each and every detail of why he/she likes the western culture and so on. The bureaucrats of the country hate westerns the most and would not like any activity promoting the culture of the west or any political party being slave of the west. Westerns are mostly hated due to their secularism and liberalism as Pakistan is a conservative country.

So here's the conclusion,

No matter what do Pakistanis think about West or Westerns think about Pakistan, nobody can change the history..

Mushkpuri Diaries

What else can be better than having fun with friends? A long awaited morning came. We were done with the OHTs, it was exhausting. Who likes exams? A good turned evil friend of mine, kicked me out of the bed when it was 5 on the clock and I was like WTF. We reached the bus stop at 6. OK, forget about the time, we were in the Bus and we even had breakfast in the Bus. We were about to leave the boundaries of College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST (CEME, NUST). There were 5 Buses, we were in a great number and it was our first trip from CEME, NUST to Mushkpuri top. 4 seniors came in our Bus, afterwards. The term Senior, is often terrifying to some, but we had a lot of fun with them. When the journey started, our beloved Class Representative (CR) started making crazy faces and moves to entertain us, but we are g...

Who am I? What am I doing? Why am I alive?

Have you ever wondered, what if you were left alone in the world with all the luxuries, but no people? How does it feel? I guess I will be happy at first, and after enjoying every possible luxurious event, I'll have no one to share it with, leaving me sad and depressed (it's the worst I can imagine). Have you ever felt lonely in a crowd? I guess, always, when you don't know anyone truly. Why does it happen? What do we need to do? It happens because we aren't connected with ourselves, we need some self-assessment to overcome this loneliness. When something is bothering you or making you feel worthless, and you seek advice, people will tell you to distract yourself and find the activities that you like, but we cannot do it if we are not connected with ourselves and it takes a lot of work, a lot of self-realization, it's a process of knowing ourselves, who we truly are. We ought to connect with our emotions and try to control them, otherwise, they ...

Secularism everywhere

The increased rate of secularism in Pakistan is deviating many from their right path. Pakistan is not a secular state, rather it has an Islamic ideology and is known as 'The Islamic Republic of Pakistan'. Even the so-called 'Muftis"(Recognized scholars), nowadays, are offering degrees in the favor of interest policies. When we have our holy book Quran and Allah says in the Quran: “O ye who believe! fear Allah and give up what remains of your demand for usury, if ye are indeed believers. If ye do it not, take notice of war from Allah and His Messenger.” (al-Baqara 278-279) It is clear from the verses mentioned above, that devouring usury (interest), is a war against Allah and his Messenger Muhammad (S.A.W.W). Now if anyone, even a Mufti, says that usury is 'Halal' ( Permissible) in Islam, he is truly misguided and misguiding others as well. The rise of the secularism People, even of th...
