Towards a Pakistani Islamic Renaissance: Reconstructing the State, Reviving Civilization, and Developing the Individual

[PakistanLVR]

Very nazuk surat i present.

In these confusing times, government should introduce Sufi sites pilgrimage where young angry men should be tasked to walk from Agha Khan's Shangri-la to Shah Ghazi Atlantis.

Each ethnicity should be allowed to wear one specific color of their choice and allowed one specific music instrument.

Or your type of government, drive vehicles into Christmas markets and bl*w up mosques, funerals, schools, marketplaces. Right?

I've just started reading this and often I skim through stuff on this forum but @PakistanLVR this is fantastic. It's like I'm reading my own thoughts expressed so articulately. I'm going to savour reading the rest.

Thank you for your effort.

Yeah, this is a deep crisis. Its only when you live amongst non-Muslims you start seeing patterns that unfortunately the ones who live in Pakistan can't comprehend. Every overseas Pakistani sees it, feels it, and now its out in the open - the lite clash of civilizations.

Keep disorderlies in check is basic evolution. Humans have a remarkable survival sense when it comes to evolution. All evil societies are taught to you are extinct and if you repeat what they did, you will join them.

This is good thread, whist I openly void discussing religion, the premise of the conversation and argument from the OP is very eloquently expressed.

@PakistanLVR please give me some time to digest your writings over a couple of cigarettes and some coffee before I offer any feedback from my side.

Having said that, can I ask members to refrain from needless trolling and off topic posts especially when the OP has taken the time to compose and compile a thought provoking write-up that will no doubt be an improvement from the usual meme fiesta that has over taken PdF of late.

Thanks.

Just finished reading it. @PakistanLVR this was truly fantastic.

Some of my favourite bits.

The problem was that Pakistan did not sufficiently reconsider the underlying relationship between the state and society.

We replaced colonial administrators with Pakistani administrators without always transforming the governing philosophy of the institutions themselves.

You hit the nail on the head.

Universities should be evaluated through the quality of their scholarship, research output, innovation, and contributions to society.

This should be the primary measure of a universities success as well as employability of students. Universities that score well should receive more state funds. Pay for the leadership teams should be heavily linked to these scores.

Students must learn how to question assumptions, examine evidence, construct arguments, and challenge established ideas.

This one point will change our nation forever.
