[Owaiz]

For those who are interested, here is the full video of the media interaction. He has spoken very bluntly about countries other than Pakistan as well. A very insightful and refreshingly plainspoken diplomat.

As expected, faujeets, patwaris and jiyalas will make ad hominem attacks on his Indian heritage , even though he has Chinese roots as well, because they have no substantive answer to the inconvenient facts he is pointing out.

Going by this his country India too is feudal society.

No. We had land reforms and has land ceilings, you can't own thousands of hectares of land your lands will be taken away by the government and redistributed. Zamindari system was banned, and tillers got the ownership.

Also he is a Singaporean, I don't know why people call him Indian he is also Chinese which is basically a Singaporean.

Feudalism is not just owing the land. It is essentially owning or controlling resources (humans too) by manipulation (of law or surroundings).
The old feudal elite has turned into businessmen, factory owners, politicians, bureaucrats, etc.
The problem is they carry the feudalistic thought process wherever they go. They pity the poor and worship power.
Just look at how Mushi dealt with the public (A dehli born middle class person, Karachi resident) vs Bajwa and Asim (from a Punjab feudalistic culture).

Irrelevant to our situation , the civilizations that have never risen how can they fall.....in this thread both sides are shooting in the dark , regurgitating trite cliché as some original thought provoking ideas ...harping for reforms without exactly knowing how to reform what's needed to be reformed.... everyone is looking for a clean slate to draw a sketch of his own liking without giving any consideration to constraints that are inherent in our history , society and culture..
Anyway , keep on discussing..maybe some day we will come up with viable and practical ideas .
