70 years old - the highs and lows of Pakistan?

[Saj]

What in your opinion have been the highs and lows of Pakistan since it's birth in 1947?

What needs to change in future for the country to improve?

 

[PakLFC]

A new PM and political system. We still follow the old British one with many proclaiming loyalty to the queen! As Allama Iqbal said " khirad ko ghulami se azaad kar, jawano ko peeron ka ustad kar". The old faces have totally failed the country which is why dynamic youngsters need to take the lead. The youth of Pakistan has many idea's and is bursting with enthusiasm. We have taken some steps in the right direction over the years but overall still lack well behind the developed countries. It is all about investing in human resources, our performance in education and healthcare is abysmal.

 

[Pakistanian]

There needs to be a cultural overhaul, the attitudes need to change.

Highs: Everything. Becoming Nuclear. Winning a war against India despite being so tiny. Winning the Nobel Prize twice. Making the greatest EVER contribution to Economics. Having a first class army, navy and Air Force. Dominating world sport. Becoming self sustained.

Lows: Nawaz Sharif.

I would say we have come a long way and still have many mikes to go. Our only challenge is not beleiveing that anything is possible

 

[Syed1]

We haven't achieved even 10% of our potential. Pakistan should be in the league of countries like Korea.


Highs: We are finally moving in the right direction.
