It has been now more than 60 years since the establishment of Pakistan. 60 years of huge transformation, 60 years of extreme misery and yes 60 years of a major social and economic change in Pakistan and the sub-continent. Mr. Arif Hasan, Vice chancellor of TIP, briefed the students on the changes we have seen after the creation of Pakistan. A large number of students and faculty members attended the event. The event was basically arranged for the 2nd year students taking the Liberal Arts course. Mr. Arif pointed out six major causes for this social and economic change including Migration from India, Agricultural technology and Urbanization.

Discussing the event of post partition migration of 1947, he said 48% of the population came from India and 82% of them set in Punjab. Hindus and Sikhs were pushed away at certain places. This migration completely destroyed the ‘Punchaait System’ and from a multicultural and multi-religious society, we moved to a uni-religious and uni-cultural society.

From food crisis to economic problems, we have been put into a situation where majority doesn’t have the money to buy necessary foods items. Moreover, society’s bad environmental conditions are playing a critical role in increasing various diseases and health problems.

Life is a gift from God. A gift which we never request for, a gift which permits us to use it the way we want, a gift which significance is not realized by many of us and surely a gift through which we can decide about our destiny as well. Life is not a continuous process. It is limited in terms of time and opportunities. It is short and we have to obtain (what ever we want to), in this short span of time. Life is like a cricket game where you have to play each and every ball according to its merit. Life is a war and you have to struggle against the evil sources.

Democracy is a system which provides equal opportunities for every individual to grow with his/her own views, thoughts and style. It empowers people to change their leaders whenever they want to. It gives the freedom of speech and thought. Democratic governments are setup by the people, run by the people and can also be removed when needed by the people.

Amidst of all these pros of democracy, I would here like to put up a strange but different question in terms of Pakistan’s democratic performance in its past 60 years. My question is Do we deserve democracy? Do our illiterate people deserve free and fair elections? Is less corrupt military dictatorship not better than totally corrupt democratic governments?
