INDEPENDENCE- A Fight Still Being Fought!

Blood scattered, mourning cries prevailing, tears flowing incessantly, clouds overwhelming but an ambience of tranquillity and halcyon is established. All hands are facing the sky and all voices humming the same cry, a thanksgiving prayer to the mighty and benevolent ALLAH. They got what they needed, a desire to curb their social hostility and a grain to sow the field of religion and equality for all.

Whenever the day of independence nears up, a distinctive feeling arises in the souls that penetrate through the entire nation to boil it up and indulge them into festive organisations and celebrations. It is “The Day of Independence”, a celebration day for obtaining a separate identity, our own ethnicity, most importantly our own supreme land.

It embarks us on a journey of the gory struggle and painstaking efforts that were sincerely and exclusively undertaken to relieve us, the Youth of Pakistan, of the prevalent marginalization and discriminations faced on the social and political front whilst being under the British Raj. It reminds us of the primary goals that our leaders set for the nation that completely had to be made for the protection of Muslim rights, a social obligation for the extraordinary mindsets then.

Still, perhaps even after these 62 long years of diligence and hopes, we still seem to be enveloped in a mystified dark cloud of trepidations and extremities in almost every aspect of our country. Whether it be politics or social activities, be it education or terrorism, be it moral instability or communal violence, everything seems to be a threatening dream and very far from the realistic approach and dream of our FOUNDERS.

Was this the aim for the gory struggle? Is it really the INDEPENDENCE or just a notion to placate our hearts that we are free yet being not? Who is responsible for these situations? Before blaming anyone for the present crisis, we need to focus on our personal contributions to this very country. Our governments may have deteriorated and failed, but we were, are and will always be around to aid and guide them and make them aware of the deadly consequences that they might be inflicting on us, unintentionally and unconsciously.

The Youth of Pakistan is right now the most impactful, motivated and concerned group that we have as our only or reliable, very precious asset that can make all the difference! This may have been a quite common notion but to me it is a major realization of my own responsibility and duty towards my own nation. So, for this we all need to join hands and sacrifice a few contemplations on apprehending our skills and potentials and a way of devoting them for the prosperity and development of our beloved nation.

On my behalf, I am contributing to my country by being an active member and Official Media Writer of Pakistani Vanguard, a non-political welfare organisation which has long been contributing to the beneficial development of the country and the havoc stricken areas of Pakistan. The most important point is that this organisation has been made by the Youth for the Youth of Pakistan, and continuously is inviting young people to come forward and lead the very cause for the development of Pakistan, as its main motto states “Nau’Jawano ki Awaz” or “The Voice of the Youth”.

Decisively, it is we who got this LAND, it should also be we who make up a HOMELAND, a heaven to live in and a warming place to breathe in, for it is ours Kingdom and will always be INSHALLAH!
