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!
