Pakistani people work hard. I say this with solid proof backing the statement that some Pakistanis work 16-18 hours a day, every day. I met these people. They do 16-18 hours of jobs and yet their lifestyle doesn’t improve over the years. This problem should be addressed at the state level. Governments should have a system that rewards everyone on the basis of how hard they work. The wealth being produced in the country should be distributed in such a way that more goes to people who do more work. However, in 2022, the wealth produced is distributed in such a way that it creates socioeconomic classes in society. This cripples the ability of a student studying in Khoti Public School in a far-off village, to compete with a student studying in, let’s say, Roots International. The former has slim chances to pass competitive exams of any sort, the latter has slim chances to fail any. This makes the former ghulam-ibne-ghulam-ibne-ghulam of the latter.

It is then the job of a government to provide equal education, basic health, and food, to each citizen of the country with no distinction based on colour, caste, religion and social status. There is a natural distinction in the abilities of all human beings, no doubt. The thing I am good at is having the stamina to read and write for long periods of time. This distinction is also called my talent. Similarly, I don’t have a talent for singing or weaving or racing or programming or operating heavy machinery or negotiating skills or teaching and, you might have one or more of these skills. You were either born with these or you learnt these over time. Natural and understandable! You can be an engineer or a doctor. I can be a writer or a philosopher or a news critic or a politician. Someone else can be an anchor of a TV show or a journalist or have a YouTube gaming channel. This distinction can then be allowed to have an impact on how much we earn. But, it must not be wide enough to create a wide rift between people of the society, as is the case today. The upper class exists to practice greed, power and monopoly. The middle class exists to work for the whole society and the poor class exists to keep the middle class terrified of what might they become if they stop serving the upper class.

Let’s say, if a doctor earns 80,000 per month, the teacher can have 82,000 or 85,000 or say 90,000. But this certainly should not be as it is today that the doctor makes 300,000 from his job as well as lac or two daily from his private practice in the evening, and a teacher gets 40,000 for a whole month. To make sure this doesn’t happen is the work of the public servants, selected by the public. It is their job to make the laws or amend the existing ones. Change must come from the government itself. Institutions are used to make the poor immoral, because of the never-ending greed of elites in any society.

If there’s a well with a dead dog inside, and one removes bucketloads of water from within, one is stupid. The stink won’t go. One must first remove the dog, then remove the water, and then the stink will go. In our country, the dog is in the well. Every 5 years we remove the water. The problem will be the economic status of the state, some wise statesperson will propose revamping the education system. The problem will be that of healthcare, some wise boomers will suggest remodelling the Railway system. The problem will be fewer jobs and the solution proposed will be “hm Zardari ko sarkon p ghseeten ge”. The problem will be of financial statuses of poor people, the solution proposed will be “Imran Khan corrupt he, Isse hkoomt ni chli”. The problem is in fact the system. The problem is in the very foundations on which our nation is built. Bring an angel and he’ll become corrupt and cruel while living under this system. No matter how clean and innocent a person individually may be (Imran Khan as an example,) if you throw him in a gutter, he is going to stink of the system. This is the truth, and we need to accept this before moving on.

Prophet PBUH made dua for Abu Jahl. He knew Abu Jahl is a talented, highly abled man and that with his power, Islam will be easy to spread. Abu Jahl agreed on one condition, that the people who belonged to the lower financial class then, people like Bilal Habshi RA, will sit on the floor and that he will sit with the due protocol. He did not want to be equal to the poor. Prophet PBUH remarked that this is the very system I want to break. Abu Jahl will have to sit with Bilal, in Islam. (I am conscious of the fact that this is not a smooth piece of writing. Please pardon me. Read again if you don’t get anything for the first time. The concept is important, bad structuring of sentences is my fault, that’ll improve with practice). He PBUH was offered the leadership of Makkah (like the PM of Pakistan) but he refused. Here get this, the refusal was to the system. He PBUH said even if you place the moon on one hand and Sun on the other, I will not stop. He could have stopped by accepting the offer of the leadership of Makkah but he did not do so because he did not want to become part of a system that he was trying to change. The system has been made crooked to reward the rich and make the poor, even poorer, legally. These laws need to be changed. To change them, one strong political party needs to gather enough people who agree with its stance and then go to the Parliament.

Behind every fortune, there is a struggle and a sheer will to make money and be successful. Behind every great fortune, there’s a crime. Keeping this in mind, how can one be okay with the fact that less than 50 people of Pakistan own such wealth that they can end the total debt of Pakistan? How did they gain so much wealth? Who can the fuck (pardon my French) say that those 50 people actually gained all this money by waking up at night and doing work under scorching Sun on summer days? Is this how they became rich, by working 16-18 hours a day, every day? No, they made money and went into politics. Then they did crony capitalism and made politics a business. Now they have the power to make money and the money to stay in power. This should not be considered hopeless. Where there is a will, there is a way!

The system is made to make the rich richer and the poor poorer while working for the riches. We believe that individuals who have basic ethics and humanity alive in themselves will stand with us. And they do. Our mothers and sisters aren’t guaranteed security. I am not guaranteed the security that from a random suicide-bombing incident because the suicide-bomber is given security, of his or her family’s financial safety. He takes money and explodes himself, taking as many people as he can with himself. This is what happens in real life. Today, people rape sisters and infants and cats and dogs and goats and dead human beings because their natural needs for intercourse are not properly met. (Don’t dare take this as me justifying the rapist, Rapists should be hung publicly. For the future, STOP PRODUCING RAPISTS. MARRY THEM AT BEFORE 20. BELIEVE IN THAT PART OF ALLAH TOO WHO SAYS HE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR FOOD, NOT YOU). Name any problem in the world, we Pakistanis have it. And on this basis, if someone acknowledges that these problems exist and agrees to put effort into the solution, then we invite him or her to our platform. Today, it is me alone writing this. Tomorrow there’ll be more people, better writers than me, writing on this topic. Today discussion forms are held around Universities in Pakistan. Tomorrow these study circles will move inwards and penetrate streets and slums, suites, and city centres. This chain will grow stronger and every person will be made conscious of his status of slavery. We all are slaves to a few capitalists in the current system. People in United Pakistan will be mindful enough to convince their social circles. United Pakistan will make a strong chain of educated people. Political education and political affiliation have been made taboo by the capitalists. They want us to stay away from the rule. Each of us will educate and affiliate with politics. Remember, an individual cannot bring a change, there’s always a group behind him/her. A single revolutionist, who did not do the work to spread his ideology, can be shot. One bullet will end the revolution that is an individual. Therefore, a party is necessary to bring about a change. If one member of a party gets shot, two others are there to replace him.

Prophet PBUH struggles for 40 years of his Meccan life to bring about a revolution, but he could not. This is an example from his life. Then with a group of people supporting his ideology, he brought that same revolution, to the whole of Saudi not just in Mecca, in 23 years. More recently in Iran, a party was made over the time span of 34 years, and it brought about a revolution. Russia started a struggle in 1884 and brought a revolution in 1917. China started a struggle for a revolution in 1921 and achieved it in 1949. United Pakistan was made in 2011 and today, around every famous University in Pakistan, in every area of the dear motherland, we exist. We will bring a revolution. On this basis, anyone can be a member of United Pakistan.

There are people who get stuck though. We meet people whose only priorities are to go to a job, get back to rest and that’s it. They don’t want to indulge in this struggle, and we just can’t change one’s natural preferences. Individually speaking, I do some stuff here and some work there to support myself through these University years, studying BS in Mass Communication with a major in Investigative Journalism that also makes me go places, manage my health because I am skinny, manage my needs for entertainment, write and manage this blog, and do party work. Amidst all this, party work is my priority and motivation. This is a “bigger purpose” in life; to bring a revolution in Pakistan that erases the abnormal difference between rich and poor. United Pakistan takes one hour every week from its members. This hour is used to debate with the respected member. Give a decade or so, when you call people for a change on this basis, people will come. Those who are misled by media and capitalism will also realize the lies they are being told. VaRaie Tanna Sa Yad Khuluna Fee Deenillah E Afvaja.

I agree with the statement that “If we all correct ourselves, Pakistan will be corrected itself”. But therein also lies the rub gentlemen/good ladies; those who can afford their wrongs, don’t want to be correct. And they are the ones causing problems on a massive level by trickle-down effect. If I and you are the victims of crimes committed by Maryam Nawaz or Bilawal Bhutto or General Musharraf or Sheikh Rasheed, what could be the problem in sitting and talking them out?

Zulmt ko zya, Srsr ko saba, Bande ko khuda kya likhna!
