Do V really need a Revolution in Pakistan ???????

So, Frendx what are your opinions regarding Revolution. Do we really need to stand up against corruption, inflation, bribery, and for our own rights ???.


Ya, it is a fact that we need to stand up against all such things but not in a form of revolution. We need peaceful demonstrations. We need to work hard, study n get knowledge about these problems and then demand against all these things in front of Judiciary rather than coming out on roads n bringing damage to innocent people. 


Unfortunately, some have taken the liberty to cloud the minds of our youth and mislead them. At a time the youth needs to work towards the progress in Education, Industry and Economy, a significant chunk of our youth has been "brainwashed" to believe that for Pakistan to anywhere a revolution is needed
Don't u remember what happened in French Revolution. Although they were able to change the condition of their country but millions of them suffered, many were killed so brutally. But the case of French Revolution was something else

The strict French class system had long placed the clergy and nobility far above the rest of French citizens, despite the fact that many of those citizens far exceeded nobles in wealth and reputation. It was not a fight of the poor against the rich, the haves and the have nots as it is played out in this rhetoric. It was a battle to achieve equality and remove oppression.


Pakistan is a different story. It is not a dictatorship right now; it has been, yes, but didn’t we just overturn the last one through the lawyers’ movement in 2008? Pakistan has equal property rights. In terms of taxation it is actually the government that needs a revolution to make the citizens pay tax (only 2% of Pakistanis pay tax!).

If we are unhappy with a particular regime or government we have the ability and the authority to not elect it again in the next election. We don’t need to go out and kill everyone involved with that regime.

We don’t need a revolution; we need revolutionary development. This development has to be in the education and economic sector, and both are of course linked. By developing our human resource, expanding our economic horizons and realising our responsibilities as citizens we can rid ourselves of most of the problems we face and address the grievances we have.

The only message that one can hope to give through this is that rhetoric can be dangerous. It can be specially dangerous when it is being used to gather emotive and not logical responses. The youth of Pakistan must understand clearly what their role is and how they can develop this country, and resolve not to be misled by those who choose to use them for their own purposes and designs.

‘Freedom has cost too much blood and agony to be relinquished at the cheap price of rhetoric.’
