I have often heard Pakistani people saying we have "talent" more than any other nation in the world. This claim is so amazing. First of all I don't how and on what bases is this analysis made. In my view there are talented people everywhere around the world. Intellect and God gifted special talents are in every corner wherever human beings live. The people who believe in this myth keep saying this and getting into a false satisfaction. A country where water, gas and almost all other resources are wasted day and night, the human resource has also been wasted to its max. We definitely have many intelligent and "talented" people but we have yet not been able to develop such education system as well as job market or any other mechanism where people could use their intellect and talent and make a real difference. Only a few with very strong nerves and will, go through all challenges and reach their larger goals in life.
Second claim is that west learnt everything from us and especially they applied the rules and teachings of our religion. I am not a religious scholar but in my view every other religion of the world gave almost the same basic human values. Every messenger of God gave the message of peace, humanity, equality, social justice, brotherhood and a lot more. So this is not just one religion this is basic human values. Anyway even if the west learnt a lot many things from us now we need to realize that we are in stagnation since long so this claim will lose its value if we do not develop further. At least for half a century we have only been teaching and learning theories and researches of west in most of our higher education institutions.
I think it is time to come out of the denial and face the reality... realization and acceptance is the first step towards the solution of the problems...lets do it and then move on!

I have studied Comparative Religions and it is 100% true that the basic values for humanity is almost the same in all the religions except in Judaism. Coming to the theories taught in our curriculum, I pointed it out that we must teach people at least in the course of EPM that how Battle of Badr was won? What were the strategic Management Plan behind it? How that Battle of Ohad was lost? What were the weeknesses behind it and so on and so many examples from Muslaim and Islamic history. None of the concept has been added in any of the EPM courses. I am glad that a related perosn has noticed it and the one who feels determined to bring change; will now do something for it.
ReplyDeleteWhy we say that we are the most the most talented nation in the world? The reason is there is so much of corruption, rishwat, sifarish in the selection procedure for any team, appointment and competition that the real talent does not get a chance to reach at the level it must reach. Even then we won many international competitions like the world English Debate competition many times, cricket champions, blind cricket champion etc. Yes I do agree that we are not the only nation with talent. All nations have all types of people in it.
Biggest misconception starts when we say "All religions". There is no religion but one. Allah's message always revealed through many Prophets and has always been same for humanity. Quran clearly states that all Prophets were "muslims". When books revealed to prophets were so distorted that Allah brings "latest addition" and previous one becomes obsolete. We must believe and respect whatever beliefs people are following, but fact of the matter is that no divine scripture is in its original form except, of - course Quran.
ReplyDeleteThat talent thing is no doubt over stated in our country, we do have some amazing qualities surfaced under most unsuitable circumstances. All nations are Allah's creation and talents have no boundaries.
