Just wanted to ask something from Khurram Brother.<br />Quote:<br />"1987: Demand for elections on party basis and dissatisfaction with the conservative concept of Islamization pervades even among those segments of society which had been impartial or supportive earlier. Thirty year later will be 2017, a year which hasn’t arrived yet, but can we make a guess now?"<br /><br />Are you suggesting that in 2017, Islam will no longer remain a priority for any one in the country? Are we never going to experience a true Islamic revolution giving peace to all?<br /><br />Please, any one clarify. I am too dumb to figure out the puzzle.Talhahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11163205982420822897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372665683777607573.post-91039003054904756202009-11-19T11:49:54.145-05:002009-11-19T11:49:54.145-05:00Eijaz Sahib, do tell me more about your suggestion...Eijaz Sahib, do tell me more about your suggestion.

In the first week of October, I was in Singapore and admiring their system, discipline, cleanliness etc. I came to know about their Leade Lee Kuang who wrote an autobiography 'Third World into First World'. To my surprise, Singapore is dependent on Malaysia even for its drinking water. In 1965, when Lee Kuand decided to be seperated from Malaysia, Malees thought that Singapore will perish soon as it does not have sufficient resources. But with a vision and a teamwork Lee Kuang materialized his dreams and transformed that third world country into first world country. He stepped down from the rule after materializing his ideas and now runs a bakery. He is 85 years old and enjoys his living dream. <br /><br />Can we learn something from him? Are we ready to read his book in which he tells his success story in details. He explains various aspects that facilitaed to materialized his dreamAbida Eijazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145875861623659661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372665683777607573.post-3334859979686397282009-10-27T01:13:51.672-04:002009-10-27T01:13:51.672-04:00Not only would this be interesting to read - this ...Not only would this be interesting to read - this would be interesting to research and to write from the more or less personal views...I've been considering these kind of narratives in a similar vein...<br /><br />what were our views AT THAT TIME...why did we FEEL how we felt...etc. from our various vantage points...<br /><br />YES, this will add a new dimensions to the "clutter" that abounds even within such scholarly and news-worthy material today...<br /><br />Thanks for bringing up this suggestion.CNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10877484524704475807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372665683777607573.post-86531181741405184522009-10-26T18:29:35.523-04:002009-10-26T18:29:35.523-04:00Dear Connie,

What was happening in our countries as well as in relation with its role in the world? What were our views about those things AT THAT TIME (which are very likely to be DIFFERENT from now). Why did we feel how we felt? So on.<br /><br />Especially with regards to outstanding events of the previous year. How did you feel about that tension with Libya? How did I feel about it?<br /><br />Things closer to home: how did I feel about the Orangi massacres that occured in Karachi in November 1986 (for several hours, law enforcement agencies left an entire segment of urban population at the mercy of armed invaders apparently associated with drug mafia)? Frequently forced closure of shops, schools, etc, throughout the year 1986. Events that were in the background when the year 1987 dawned on the horizon of Time.<br /><br />I think it would be interesting to read such personal narratives.Khurram Ali Shafiquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329916182280619617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4372665683777607573.post-46389577976401760572009-10-26T10:02:49.218-04:002009-10-26T10:02:49.218-04:00Your sweep and understanding of the deep in histor...Your sweep and understanding of the deep in history again amazes...along with your desire and living out of your values of teaching those who are not nearly as scholarly, including me.<br /><br />I see the necessity for your nation to understand this history and even the predictions based on actual happenings and study. <br /><br />There is also the need for us in the US to understand the part of this which will communicate to our masses...since there is universal information here...it's a great beginning. Yet we have few who will take the time for the non-universal details...so...<br /><br />All too few I speak with - even among the most educated and progressives - understand anything of the history and beauty of Pakistan and Pakistanis - your struggles and your amazing breakthroughs and the current fears even. <br /><br />Although my voice is nearly invisible, I want to make a few waves - especially in regards to that which we share in common - US and your beloved nation and how we treat one another. <br /><br />Any chance you could somehow someday in the not too distant future rewrite this sort of piece for those who want to turn from current and recent American tendencies and need to know from a Pakistani scholar and historian how we must do so?
