The Pakistan Experience

Disco deewanay!AhaIf there is an anthem for the youth in Pakistan, it is disco deewanay, and today we celebrate the woman who sang it, Nazia Hasan.We had two choices in the 80s, Zia ka Pakistan or Nazia ka Pakistan, on one side we had guns, extremism, and violence, and on the other side we had love, music, and dance.We all know what Pakistan chose, and not only did we lose Nazia Hasan, we lost Nazia ka Pakistan.#78years78heroes

A prolific writer and activist, Eqbal Ahmad was widely consulted by revolutionaries, journalists, policymakers, activists, and students around the world.#78years78heroes

Some people are beyond words, words like 'Hero' or 'Legend' cannot fully encapsulate the being that is Abida Parveen.Respect her while she is here. There will never be another Abida Parveen!#78years78heroes

"If not Dams, then what is the solution?"The solution is to let the river flow.If you want reservoirs, you can build natural lakes. If you want electricity, you can aim for smaller manageable run of the river projects.The Sindhu darya is what gives this entire region its identity, you are not mightier than the Indus, in your hubris, and your infinite greed, do not think of the Indus as another plot of land that you can build a housing society on.Our overlords never think of the people when they plan projects, they just look at the potential dollars they will make.Imagine if the mighty Indus flowed throughout Pakistan, Karachi had two rivers all year round. The water was clean enough for people to fish and sustain themselves all along the river from Kashmir to Karachi.Ravi, Chenab, and the Indus had wetlands and forests along the way that could become tourist attractions.Our urban centers would not turn into gas chambers every smog season. Our rivers could breath, our cities could breath, and our people could breath.Imagine being able to take a boat from Karachi to Lahore. Instead we block all the natural drainage to build housing societies then spend billions putting in drainage, and the societies still end up getting flooded.Our cities are concrete jungles slowly killing us all.We are the people of the Indus, you have erased our history, and now you are trying to erase the Indus altogether. This is unacceptable. Let the rivers flow!
