Pakistan's real problem is very poor institutions - not political

[Signalian]

any attempt by individuals to protest against the government is resisted by the military. what is the point ?

Political motives will meet that result or where political motives align with other threats. Boycotting or threat to boycott industry can be tried for sake of values like honesty and integration in the department.

The same military also shut-down anti-PTI protests once upon a time. Most members were cheerleading the fauj back then.

I think 4th makes sense for the ones who cant immigrate.

Sadly, I think the vast majority of Pakistanis are in that category.

That's why I don't like it when overseas Pakistanis, most of them sitting comfortably in the West, tell Pakistanis to rebel in the streets, otherwise they 'deserve the government'.

We all know the brutality of the Pakistani system. These overseas Pakistanis are dishonest and just plain vulgar.

India is a heavily unequal society not that Pakistan is any better, both countries need to work to regional peace and prosperity.

Yes exactly.

India ranks 111 out of 125 countries in Global Hunger Index

India ranks 111/125 on Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2023, with "serious" hunger severity. Progress against hunger halted since 2015, mirroring global trend. South Asia & Africa S. Sahara have highest hunger levels; E & SE Asia, Europe & Central Asia have lowest. COVID-19, climate change & conflicts...

Probably start with basic things by changing ownself like saying no to immoral/illegal instructions which can lead towards sifarish/bribe, instead of making things complicated.

He said something to the effect - I am the chief martial law administrator and I decide.

In the context of Pakistan I am fine with that if he tells me how is he going to be accountable if he makes a mistake
