How to make Pakistan better?

[humzy]

Masses control how culture is shaped, what is important. For now two most important things in Pakistani culture is Islam and national security, you can put education and prosperity at top, but that is not what people of Pakistan wants...No leader is going to help you change that, change has to come from within society, if enough people think education is more important then religion, things will change. You don't have to wait for somebody else to make that decision for you...

So then It is a big merry go round, because in order for the culture to be shaped you need an educated population who has the ability to rationalise the importance of education over islam and security.

And in order for the public to be educated the education system needs a revamping, where the government once again comes in.

People are simply a product of their society and the society is simply a product of what they have been allowed to think by those who control the media and schools.

I think the internet will make a big difference in education in the coming years.

I haven't been to Pakistan In over a decade so I don't know how involved the regular teenage or young adult is with the online world and whether it is influencing and shaping their views, but this could be a major factor.

It should be the very first thing to get abolished because since 90s onwards it created a generation of abusive Pakistani youngsters, whose language became vulgur and instead of communication in soft Urdu, they adopted the Indian 'Abey tu..abey tera...apun bola' styles. SRKs and Amitabhs became their heroes.

Indian films industry earn about 200 crore INR through Pakistan, are we paying them/you to vulgarize our youth?

If Pakistan can improve its film industry, it will also increase its global demand and can earn foreign exchange.

To go along with that Bollywood is just one industry coming out of India that may cater to global audience and promotes hindi movies. But that same global audience is now waking up to the fact that there is 6-7 other Indian film industries thriving there as well. Movies in Tamil, Kerala, telegu, Kannada, Marathi etc etc Each of these industries have a healthy rivalry amongst each other and when the need arises and they see a good movie churned out, the other industries won't hesitate or blink an eye to dub those movies in their language and showcase it in their language to the audience. Case in point of Bahubhali which wasn't from Bollywood but from telegu industry and dubbed in all the other languages. 3 idiots in Hindi was dubbed back in Tamil with different actors. This promotes healthy investments amongst each job offers to entertainers amongst the industries.

Also for the entertainment industry to do well, they need to pay the actors and everyone involved a good sum of money which is why the Pakistan actors, singers jump to India in a heartbeat. Money talks . India is paying holllywood artsists. Special effects people for over last couple of years now to come to India to do action sequences, dance artists to give lessons to Indian actors and such...

For Pakistan to take off, removing Bollywood movies will have a negative impact and pak movie goers won't even come to the movies. Producers and theater owners understand this and won't allow it. They understand that audience will then resort to buying pirated copies. You have to have a healthy balance instead. Pakistan entertainment, audience seeing these Bollywood movies will then be inspired, encouraged to more or less see what's needed to make the same but with a pak flavor.

Take the recent Aamir Khan movie "secret superstar" which was made at a moderate cost and made double triple its investment. There's no obscenities, sex, special effects or random brainless masala like most movies. But a movie packaged with a good moral message.

None of these cater to global audiences, unless you mean desi immigrants living abroad. But I agree that when pitched against a less discerning audience like in Pakistan, they can provide a benchmark for production standards.

Let's cut to the chase, no matter how patriotic you are you cannot ignore the fact that our motherland is one of the most unlivable places in the world. What, in your opinion, needs to happen for Pakistan to stand on her own two feet and achieve all that was envisioned by Allama Iqbal and the Quaid?

Pretty sure having bearded religious extremists march down Islamabad is the exact opposite of what Mr. Jinnah would have wanted and based on the events of the last few days he must be rolling around in his grave.

Interesting that you mention Jinnah and Iqbal - two men who studied and worked abroad before returning home to direct the future of their people. Perhaps that's the answer - Pakistanis who have had the privilege to move abroad for their education and then work should follow the blueprint that Jinnah, Iqbal and such men left them.

Of course I'm playing devil's advocate here but a question to those Pakistanis on PakPassion who have moved abroad for their education - would you return to your country if it meant making 'Pakistan better'?

Many would return if Imran Khan leads Pakistan. Also many would start paying taxes too. But till crooks are ruling, it is a waste of effort.

You don't have to look far for the answer, it is right here... in PP.

PP has competed with other internet forum. The same thing that makes it successful can be extrapolated to other areas. So what are these things leading to success? The Admins of this forum may offer some insights.

I think it is the opportunity to build something without the threat of whatever is built will be taken away by those in power. Generally called "property rights". And the government needs to provide the physical and legal infrastructure.

Need to be the change we want to see in Pakistan. Start by always speaking the truth.
