On the road to Transformation




On the road to transformation…
Realization is the first step,
Raising voice is the second,
But there comes a point when mere blind-ended ‘discussions’ can lead a people to hopelessness,
Its now when we collectively need to take a step forward
The third step being that of ‘Action’;
For no caravan can reach its destination if it feels satisfied after taking only the first few steps!
‘Action’ with ‘discipline’ and a sense of ‘responsibility’ can turn a barren soil, with no prospect of bearing fruit, fertile. This fertility results only when labor is employed to till the soil properly, with every person using full potential of their position and role.

We need to adopt an analytical approach towards knowing what stage on the road to transformation we are at, both individually and socially, to secure what we dream to achieve.

  2. Lets just dream thinking least about actions. But then DREAM also is action of superior kind . We are what we are because WE had Dreams.

    Dreams if not pursued properly may become disastrous. One dream needs to get fulfilled before a person can look beyond another horizon!
    Thanks for coming :)

  5. The way you lay out the process makes a perfect blending of not only analysis yet also of practices, choices and actions. I like the steps you recommend.

    At the same time, I'm curious what you may concede is operating underneath the surface of this awareness, choices and actions?

    Some possibilities may be: history - personal and collective; community - both personal, friendships, family, religious, national, etc. Then perhaps there's also intuition and surrender/submission.

    I'm curious as to what may distinquish your own process and choices?

    Thanx as always for such thoughtful/mature work.

    By the way, if you speak to Urooj, plz find out if she will be a part of another inter-generational service effort for the suffering peoples of Sindh? If not, we want to support the effort of the Edhi foundation yet would rather support her group. (from Connie - oneheartforpeace.blogspot.com )

  6. Thanks dear Connie :)
    As to your question,
    I feel that History, Analysis of the social and political thought of the day, Literature, and Collective goals, all acts as a thrust at each step.
    For an individual Faith and sense of Identity (based on the collective history) may be of a help to decide what action is suitable under some particular set of circumstances.

    I would like u to share what u think about the topic. What according to u provides the basis for the decisions about the actions and their nature?

    And I would let Urooj know of your offer.
    Thanks again :)

Collapsing Global Political trends - Are we in need of a new political system?

  "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair" Charles Dickens; A Tale of two cities Capitol Hill under siege There is no better description of the current global socio-political scenario than these infamous words of Dickens.  After a year of pandemic and political incapacity to unanimously contain an emergency situation at the global center stage, the world is witnessing a dichotomy that has never been so evident before. In contrast to the Cold War era, when the world was divided into two distinct blocks with individuals from each of the block fighting and dying for their own political ideology, the current division is present deeper within the masses in respective countries. US elections 2020 revealed that this division is rampant with

قبر اور سیاست

سیاست اور قبر کا چولی دامن کا ساتھ ہے۔ کبھی سیاسی مخالفین کو قبر میں اتارا جاتا ہے (معنوی طور پر یا اشاراتی طور پر) تو کبھی نظریات قبر کا رخ اختیار کرتے ہیں۔ اور تو اور اکثر اوبیشتر یہ بھی دیکھنے میں آیا ہے کہ الیکشن مہم کے دوران جنہیں بریانی کی دیگ میں دفن کیا جاتا ہے انہیں وقت گزرنے پر بھوک اور افلاس کی کچی ٹوٹی قبر اپنے آغوش میں لے لیتی ہے۔ سیاست میں ایک اور قبر بھی موجود ہے جسے ضمیر بیچ کر یا مار کر حاصل کیا جاتا ہے۔ یہ قبر خاصی سود مند ثابت ہوتی ہے کیونکہ مثل مشہور ہے کہ سیاست میں جذبات کا عمل دخل نہیں ہوتا۔ اس لیے مردہ دلوں کی اجتماعی قبریں ایسی ہی شاندار ہیں جیسے کہ تاج محل۔ ان سب قبروں میں ایک خاص الخاص قسم اس قبر کی ہے جس میں دادا یا نانا مرحوم (یا شہید) دفن ہوں۔ ایسی قبریں احرامِ مصر کی یاد دلاتی ہیں جن کی ہیبت اور مدفن خزانے صدیوں تک پرذوق افراد کی لیے کشش اور اگلی نسلوں کے لیے باعثِ روزگار ہوتے ہیں۔ ایسے سیاست دان جنہیں یہ قبریں نصیب ہوں وہ اپنے تیر و نشتر سے ملک کے دیگر اداروں، مثلاً قانون، دفاع اور خارجہ محاذ کو چھلنی کر کے رکھ دینے کی صلاحیت رکھتے ہیں۔ اور یہ قبریں ان کی

"I can't breathe"

A giant mural in Washington DC honouring black lives At the dawn of the new millenium, we dreamt of a world with equality and justice as integral parts of its social structure. Twenty years down the lane we are now living in a world full of hatred based on race, religion, caste and creed. The United States of America, which champions itself for its human rights and is seen as the leader of the free world, saw massive, wide scale protests after the killing of George Floyd, an African American man, on 25th May 2020 by a policer officer in Minneapolis state. The police officer, named Derek Chauvin, kept his knee on the neck of a handcuffed, non-violent man for 9 minutes as Mr. Floyd wailed and begged for his life before becoming unconscious. Mr. Chauvin could be seen in a relaxed pose with hands in his pockets, as he ignored the pleas of Mr. Floyd and the bystanders who also recorded the whole incident on video. Fellow police officer Tou Thao was protecting his colleague from the crowd wh
