The 3 perspectives

by Basil Andrews
Karachi, Pakistan

The following correlated events are a narration of the writer as he sees the world.

Perspective 1:

I am walking on the pavement on the road beside St. Patrick’s High School at approx 9 a.m. on a sunny Sunday morning. I reach halfway to the middle gate of the school when I see two guys on a 70cc motorbike advancing in my general direction and after a few seconds stop just in front of me at the edge of the pavement. The pillion rider gets off -his profile: dark brown and curly hair, with slightly thick eyebrows, about the same height as me, wearing a dirty yellow/muddied t-shirt and brownish black trousers- and approaches me. At the same time the driver orders his passenger, “Iss ka mobile aur paisay nikaalo!” (Take his cellphone and cash out). At that moment, a thought flashes across my mind, “make a dash for it!” Unfortunately, it was too late then, the pillion rider has reached me and searches my pockets. He gets his hands on my cell phone and the cash. In less than a minute both of them have ridden off into the distance.

Perspective 2:

Two days before the mugging. I am on my way home from university in a public bus. One more stop and I’d be home. At the Gurumandir bus stop, a man embarks on the bus with a white plastic bag. His most striking feature, amputated arms; up to his elbows. My first thoughts about him, “He’s here to beg”. He goes on up to the entrance to the lady’s compartment and, begins his sales pitch to sell Chinese key chains. After making no sale, he waits at the exit to get off at the next stop.

Perspective 3:

This event was described to me some six months back by a friend named Alam. This is his perspective:
On my way to work I hear the sound of muffled crying. I look for the source and spot a man lying on the ground face down. My first thought, “He must have fallen down and hurt himself, badly”. I walk over to him and ask him, “What happened? Why are you crying?” He begins by telling me he was robbed ten minutes back. Apparently he was selling channa (roasted chickpeas) and passing the road when two men stopped him and robbed him of all the cash on him which was his day’s earnings; a meager Rs. 400 which is nothing, in this day and age of inflation. So he lay there, on the ground and cried, filled with grief as to how was he going to feed his family today. After a few minutes a car approaches both of us. The door of the car opens and a lady steps out. She enquires and the channa wala narrates what had happened to him. After hearing the man’s sorrowful story she reaches for her purse, opens it and gives him the same Rs. 400 and tells him the money that was robbed is now a curse for the snatchers. Allah (God) is on your side today and today your family needn’t go hungry. With this the channa wala thanks her and asks God to shower His blessings on her.

My purpose of sharing these three viewpoints was that in the first one, the stolen cell phone wasn’t important but the fact that these young men who are so desperate that they must fulfill their needs by stealing from others by force when necessary while people like the man in the second perspective work hard, daily, in the scorching sun, making good use of what life has given them and to earn their daily bread through legitimate means. The last perspective is a constant reminder of the fact that this country still has unseen angels who are ready to get out of their comfort zones to help those, not just in dire need but to show the victimized that they can still be cared for right here in this very lifetime.

A humble and heartily thanks to the great entertainer

Moin Akhtarby Asjad Khan

Back in the day when colored TV was a hallucination. When Television used to be considered a luxury. When one home in the entire locality had a television and everybody gathered there to watch weekly shows. When Telecast meant a 4-12 transmission and it ended with the national anthem. That was the time when a larger than life Lad known as Moin Akhtar entered in the lives of us Pakistanis. Death will definitely not do him and Pakistanis apart. I fail to find an artist like in him the world let alone in home my land.

My grandmother told me fascinating stories how they used to watch the youthful and flamboyant Akhtar in his early career. My father tells me how Rosy was the talk of the town back then. My brother fondly remembers the Moin Akhtar show and his little son finds loose talk get up’s by Mr. Akhtar much funnier than Tom and Jerry. This was the scope of the man. Other than the ultimate king of Michael Jackson I fail to recall any other person who has captured the imagination in four different generations.

They say it’s a dynamic world. They say keep moving with the world or you shall be left behind. Moin defeated all this. His style, his endeavor, his creative wit remained the same pleasant, non spiteful, ethical, dignified yet sparklingly hilarious. He didn’t give in to the glamorous change of the showbiz. He remained his own self and that is what made him successful.

A man for all ages, all generation, his presentation was so simple that a kid could enjoy and comprehend it yet it was so thoughtful that it kept the adult attached. In this day and age where comedy often means going below the belt or offending a few we shall with a doubt miss a person like him.

I often think that people like him are not deserved by a nation like us. Had he be an Indian or a western guy, by now his charm and talent would have made him an international superstar. If ever this saying a big fish in a small pond was true it was for him. I wonder did he ever counted the number of diverse roles he had played during his career .I’m rather sure the Guinness book management needs to take a look at this man’s exploits.

The trio of Bushra Ansari, Moin Akhtar and Anwar Maqsood could have achieved much more. They could have made Pakistan proud. Even now in almost hopeless stage people with such exceptional talents could have turned around Pakistan’s image. But we don’t believe in arts. We believe in guns unfortunately. On a personal note, till today in life I had no regrets. Today I have one. I will forever dread the fact that I couldn’t get an autograph from Moin Akhtar. Regret that I shall carry all my life.

I wonder if he wants to tell all of us not complain to God about this immeasurable loss. I wonder if he is watching from heavens now and feel blessed that the nations loves him so much. If that is the case I just want say Sir you have earned every bit of it and even more. You will forever remain in the hearts of us Pakistanis. May ALLAH bless you with heaven.

Violence against women in Pakistan

Stop Violence against Womenby Omera Saeed
Multan, Pakistan

There is an old Chinese saying: “Women hold half the sky”

In Pakistan, women fall victim to traditional practices that violate their human rights. The persistence of the problem has much to do with the fact that most of these physically & psychologically harmful customs are deeply rooted in the traditional & culture of the society.

Kinds of Violence

  • Criminal violence
  • Custodial violence
  • Domestic violence
  • Societal violence

CRIMINAL VIOLENCE

Criminal violence consisted in acts of kidnapping, rape, murder & public humiliations. It was usually perpetrated by private individuals or groups, sometimes such as feudal land-lords & police functionaries. This category of violence often includes sexual assault, even when the primary impulse was to settle some family score or to average some real or imagined slight.

During 2004-2010:

Women murdered: 800 approx
Raped: 1000 approx (most of them were between 4 to 11 years)
Kidnapped: 500 approx

As far as Multan district is concerned, the reported cases alone of rape averages more than 18 every month in Multan city and outskirts.

CUSTODIAL VIOLENCE

Violence against women by the very people who are supposed to protect them, members of the law enforcement and criminal justice systems is widespread. Women are physically or verbally abused. They are also sexually and physically tortured.

According to Amnesty international:

“Thousand of women held in custody are routinely raped in police detention centers worldwide”

In Pakistan, women are not fully safe in the shelter homes and even in the jails, most of them are sexually abused by the police officers & land lords

VIOLENCE AGAINST REFUGEES & DISPLACED WOMEN

Women and children from the great majority of refugee population are especially vulnerable to violence & exploitations. In refugee camps, they are abused and raped by law enforcement officials, immigration personnel and male ethnic groups.

According to a latest report covering the recent flood disaster in Pakistan, many young girls were kidnapped from different shelter homes.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

Domestic violence remained a pervasive phenomena. The supremacy of the male & subordination of the female assumed to be part of culture and  violence by one against the other in a variety of its forms are accepted & pervasive features of domestic life

According to Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), 400 cases of domestic violence were reported in a year.

SOCIETAL VIOLENCE

This principally consisted in repressive & social practices. Watta Satta (marriage in such a way that brother and sister are respectively married with sister and brother of another family) remains a practice in Pakistan. It often compels mismatches & sowed seeds of continuing grouse.

DOWRY RELATED VIOLENCE

An average of 5 women a day are burnt in dowry related disputes.

EARLY MARRIAGES

Early marriages, especially without the consent of girl, are also forms of human rights violations. Early marriages followed by multiple pregnancies can effect the health of women for life.

What’s the big fuss about ‘University of Education’?

As student activism at University of Education (UoE) Lahore is inspiring many youngsters in Pakistan, Sohaib Riaz – a citizen journalist and a student of UoE – gives a bird’s eye view of whats, whys & hows of protests in and around UoE Lahore

by Sohaib Riaz

Students refused to sit in exams at University of Education Lahore

START OF PROTEST: Students refused to sit in exams at UoE Lahore

It was the morning of January 17th 2011. Sun was peeping through the thick clouds. Students of University Of Education Lahore were sitting in exam. No one actually had any idea what is going to be done with University after certain hours. It was 5:30 in the evening when a strange message began to circulate amongst the students of University of Education” Dr. M. A. Pasha Director Division Of Science and Technology and his wife Dr. Shaheen Pasha with out specifying any reason have been terminated by Farhat Saleem Vice Chancellor, so students are protesting kindly join us as fast as you can.” As a result of that students gathered in university with in no time. So it was the time when an agitation started in the University.

Students were on roads and were protesting but government officials and even the government just playing a game with students. On 18 Jan. 2011 students blocked college road for almost 2 hours. They burnt tires and raised slogans in favor of Dr. M.A.Pasha. “Pasha tairay jaan nisaar Beshumaar Beshumaar” was their slogan. This shows their love for their teacher. On that particular day Vice Chancellor called students for a dialogue then a team of Students Action Committee met VC but all in vein; no result of that meeting. Then on very next day 19th January a large force of police was standing in front of the gates of the university before students reached there. Police lathi charged (baton charged) students in Akbar Chowk when they were marching towards Punjab Assembly to demand their democratic right. Almost 40 students were arrested by police that day. As the result of that lathi (baton) charge, some students dispersed but their passion was true, most of the students actually reached at Mall Road, Lahore. They marched from Anarkali Chowk to Punjab Assambly.

There, they again raised slogans against the corruption of University Administration and in favor restoration of Dr. Pasha. A team of Students Action Committee (SAC) was called for a dialogue with Punjab Law minister Rana Sanaullah. As the result of that meeting, students were released who were actually arrested that morning at Akbar Chowk Lahore. In the same meeting, the main issue was discussed and a committee was formed by government to review the case. Later, no committee was actually seen solving the issue, then students marched again to Punjab Assembly. Then, once again, the same drama was played again i.e. meeting and one more committee.

Dr. Pasha and Vice Chancellor Farhat Saleem both were called in Punjab Assembly before the Governmental committee. As the result of that, one more committee comprising of Government College University (GCU) Vice chancellor and University of Engineering & Technology (UET) Vice chancellor was formed. Students also protested many times before Press Club Lahore. The committee of VC’s cleared Dr. Pasha and sent its recommendations to Higher Education Commission (HEC) for further actions. Then University Syndicate met in university to approve the decision of the VC’s committee but Vice chancellor of University Of Education did not presented the above said decision before Syndicate to be approved. Then the Syndicate met again and reinstated Dr. Shaheen Pasha.

In the last days of January, the entry of Information Technology Students was banned in the university. The entry remained banned as it is till the parents meeting called by Vice chancellor. Most of parents boycotted the meeting. On 10th February 2011, students protested before Governor House Lahore. As the result of the protest SAC team was called for a dialogue. Then the management of Governor House finalized meeting of students with governor, and the time and date of meeting was to be told to students via phone. SAC team met governor Punjab Mr. Latif Khosa and presented the issue and governor made it clear that Dr. Pasha will definitely be reinstated.

Students of University of Education Lahore protesting for Dr. Pasha
DETERMINED: Students keep on protesting to reinstate Dr. Pasha

After this, students submitted an application to the governor for the restoration of Dr. Pasha. Since then no action has been taken by governor. Students are protesting against injustice and struggling to restore merit and quality. Students say “We will not go to classes till the restoration of Dr. Pasha.” Their popular slogan is;”No Study No class.. Boycott.. Boycott”

I’m a Muslim girl

Muslim Girlby Sarah Hameed
Islamabad, Pakistan

Spells trouble doesn’t it? For most being a Muslim girl means a series of restrictions, mostly forcibly imposed. On top of that you are Pakistani too! Trust me, thats the worst combo.

Every other day, and every other place, we hear people saying, ‘Religion is personal’, and ‘deen mai koi sakhti nahi hai’ (There is no compulsion in religion). I agree with them. No one can force you to cover your head or wear a veil, they cant tell you what to do and what not to do. Every individual has their own priorities, and its for each of us to decide for ourselves what we want to do.

Irony is when these same people are overheard criticizing other people for exercising the same rights. ’Ooh look, there goes a ninja’, and ‘Oo Em Gee, poor thing she’s probably so ugly she can’t do without a veil’. Most people talk about how women are pressurized into covering themselves, and how pathetic it is that they yield instead of standing up for themselves. Or how they find it offensive seeing women made inferior.

Its funny how the same rule of “its my personal matter” doesn’t apply in such scenarios. We do not want to be told of what to do by other people, but we are the first ones to tell someone else of what to do. If someone roams around half naked, thats their matter to deal with, similarly if some one chooses to be modestly covered it is their personal matter. And respecting that, everyone should mind their own business, rather than commenting on anyones attire.

If you want space, then learn to give space. If you want religion to be tolerant of you, than be tolerant of religion too. And most important of all, if you want people to let you be, then let them be!

I’m a Muslim, a girl, and a Pakistani. I cover my head and wear the jilbab. And I am proud of who I am!

Thoughts on Jinnah’s Birth Anniversary

Jinnah's Pakistan vision

by Basil Andrews
Karachi, Pakistan

It would seem too late to write anything on Mr. Jinnah’s 134th birth anniversary but nevertheless today in Pakistan there are a whole lot of reasons on why people must write anything about him and his legacy which is fading day by day.

Oft lately there has been talk about Mr. Jinnah and his vision for this country (to be secular or a religious state). Firstly the concept of a secular state has been hacked and tainted in this country to the extent that it has come to be associated Godlessness. First and foremost let it be known that in the modern age, the state needs to concentrate more on the economic upbringing of the people. With increasing populations and scarcer resources it has become the state’s primary responsibility to manage these two aspects while at the same time improve the living conditions of the masses. A state that is neutral with no religious or ethnic affiliations has greater flexibility to make decisions. Its prime responsibility is to create economic opportunities by legislating laws and formulating policies that aren’t biased towards any community or minority group. Secondly, minority communities can grow both culturally and contribute in nation building. Keeping this point in mind, Mr. Jinnah’s real aim was to create a state to protect the social and economic interests of the minority in undivided India which was realized through the birth of Pakistan.

Come to his speech to the First Constituent Assembly, Mr. Jinnah laid down what today can be called the blueprint for the nation state, the social contract to exist between the rulers and the ruled and in it is very clear that the Quaid wanted the state to first ensure the rule of law, eliminate the curse of corruption, bribery and nepotism and keep RELIGION AS AN AFFAIR BETWEEN MAN AND GOD AND NOT THE BUSINESS OF THE STATE. The Objectives Resolution is a complete contradiction of what Jinnah envisioned and it is because of this duality in ideology that today this unfortunate country is unable to progress. In simple words because the idea of the state has been polluted, we cannot forge a plan, a collective aim to accomplish and achieve goals based on Mr. Jinnah’s vision for this country as described and instructed in the First Constituent Assembly on 11th August 1947.

Our politicians need to stop blurring the line between matters of faith and politics and instead focus more on finding solutions to remove the economic difficulties faced by the public at the moment and secondly they must ensure that at the end of the day the law of the land remains supreme. Lastly, STOP FEARING DIVERSITY AND PLURALISM, it’s a win-win situation for both the rulers and the ruled.

Equality

by Fatima Hasan Zaidi

What is equality? The answer is “justice for everybody”. But most of the people who talk about equality just know it as a phrase and never thought to ponder upon it practically.

‘Every one is equal in the eyes of God’ though he is rich or poor, black or white, an armed forces person or a civilian. But ‘none is equal in the eyes of law’. Law is not providing justice to everybody. Our country’s “law” says that everything will be done according to the principles of ‘democracy. But it is not true. Because no one can see democracy around him. Is our law afraid of asking people their views and not to work upon them?

The point is that our government mostly knows the views of public and it is visible that many of the media channels are often found on roads consulting people about their views but the problem is “inequality” and no one listens. There are some every common points of inequality I noticed and I am sure everybody views the difference between a person who belongs to elite class and lower class.

Why is that so? No one can answer that I came up with these points when “I” on the basis of a civilian was not given admission in C.B College as the merit for civilians was very high. But at the same time the merit for a child of armed forces person was 399. Can you call it equality? Or is it justice? Or discrimination? Just give it a thought. I know if army would not be there, there would be no one who could sleep at night because of insecurity. I respect the soldiers standing on roadsides and on borders but the “wrong remains’ and injustice cannot be justified.

Our traffic police teaches everybody about traffic rules but when those rules are applied on them then breaking it is just a piece of cake for some of them. Because no one is there to impose heavy fine on them. Why is it so?

Weren’t those policemen in Sialkot terrorists who let two young boys killed without any investigation. There are so many things like this. No one is there to answer or to change the system.

People say Pakistan is following these principles: “Unity, Faith and Discipline.” All above I stated is not unity, everybody is unequal in the eyes of law. This is the reason law is not given respect and when there is no respect people do not have faith in law. That is just the reason there is no discipline in our country. And you can clearly say “Everyone is equal in the eyes of God but not in the eyes of Law.”

Exclusive Interview: Ammara Farooq Malik (Founder SEPLAA Foundation)

Ammara Farooq Malik SEPLAASEPLAA is a personal commitment that I have made for life – Ammara Farooq Malik

Interviewed by Waleed Tariq

Born and brought up in Lahore, Ammara Farooq Malik is an academic lawyer, writer and founder of the SEPLAA Foundation. She is actively involved in flood relief efforts.

She belongs to a well-educated family of self-made people from Lahore. “My father was a successful engineer and Gold medalist in Chemical Engineering from the Punjab University. Now retired, he was a man who never compromised on his principles and extremely high professional standards. My mother is a graduate of the College of Home Economics and is a home maker. So I think I got a bit of both elements from my parents” says Ammara.

Upon completing her basic schooling from International school in U.A.E, Ammara returned back to Pakistan and joined the Kinnaird College for Women for further studies. She had a very active and fruitful curricular and co-curricular life. “I was a distinction holder in Mathematics and French optional and an active English debater, speaker, poetess and writer winning several awards” she recalls.

After graduation, she decided to pursue a law degree from Punjab University and later joined University of London for her Masters in Law. By this time she was married with two children and with materializing her education, she had become a well-known law professor within the teaching circles of Lahore.

A loves-to-be-busy by nature, it was February 2009 when ultimately, Ammara decided to launch a non Profit organization by the name of SEPLAA ‘Seeds of Education, Policy & Legal Awareness Association’ as a personal project. “I’m a workaholic by nature and you will never find me sitting idle!” After quitting teaching, she felt certain to give back to the community in some practical form “I came up with the idea of SEPLAA as a platform that would collect like-minded people who could contribute towards the well-being of our future generations in health, education, and empowerment and also contribute positively towards our environment” she says.

SEPLAA Foundation is a Lahore based non-Profit and a political Think tank to build a positive image of Pakistan globally by working in the areas of health, environment, society, education, empowerment and law.

This year, when Pakistan was hit by one of the severe Floods the country had seen in recent times, Ammara decided that it was a time when help was needed from all angles and became enthusiastically involved in the relief efforts. “Just sitting and waiting in our comfortable houses while our countrymen were dying was something I could not come to terms with. The friends, who knew my husband and me personally, started sending us funds to help the flood victims. Some complete strangers who had got to know me because of the SEPLAA Facebook Page, also had so must faith and trust in me that I was totally over whelmed when they singled SEPLAA out to send money contributions to us. That was the start. Since I had been trusted with the money, I had to ensure that it reached the right hands with evidence! There could be no compromise on credibility. It is our credibility that sets us apart. My motive to start SEPLAA was never for money. It’s a personal commitment that I have made for life in the hope that it will reward me in the form of God’s blessings on my family. It is my way of thanking God”. SEPLAA launched a number of initiatives for immediate relief such as donation drives and recycled water bottle campaign.

Under her inspiring leadership, SEPLAA continues to grow with leaps and bounds with some new developments taking place like city Representatives in Karachi and Rawalpindi. Apart from the ‘SEPLAA Talent Pakistan, Awards Exhibition and Conference’ to be hosted next month, as of January 2011, SEPLAA plans to have a global calendar of its events in different cities and countries. It also plans to open a second, functional SEPLAA Foundation office in the U.K. “We hope to make this a truly global platform for expatriate Pakistanis who wish to contribute back to Pakistan.” She added.

For her, that is not enough. In the next 5 years, Ammara hopes to bring out several publications, ranging over a wider set of issues, some pro poor, some focusing on the youth (particularly their completely re branded magazine ‘Impact SEPLAA’) and some research publications.
SEPLAA also plans to have awareness building community activities that will help bring messages home such as blood donation drives, tree plantation drives and creative book reading sessions at public hospitals, public schools and even prisons. Its prime focus is to establish itself as a global expert in the field and to bring Pakistan a lot of positive recognition.

Truly, Ammara Farooq Malik has made work her passion. She is a rare example of an empowered and multitalented Pakistani woman with her restlessness undoubtedly, being favorable to this country and abroad.

Special Message to Citizens’ Eye readers & Pakistan’s youth:

After achieving so much at an early age she thinks that the youth of today have a great opportunity in the form of today’s problems and advises them not to waste their time, instead should experiment with different things because that will give them diverse experience along with trying new avenues a bring about a positive difference to their personalities with particular emphasis on their discipline and behavior.

“They must learn to be patient and reasonable. They must be the first ones to show respect and courtesy to both young and old and they will always get respect in turn. To serve their country well, the youth must focus on their education. They must be willing to learn from their seniors/ peers and they must be professional in their out look. They must always remember that true learning is a life long process and they must not shy away from it. A good education will give them a firm foundation. The rest has to be made by the individual over time. There is no short cut to success. If you see success too soon, it might leave you just as soon as it came!” she says.
