The problem with Pakistani economy is it does not have a modern organic structure. Educated management (or middle, like us here on forum
) class has a very limited role restricted to organized corporations (for example banks, firms, corporations, cellular companies etc) but most of the economy (for example agriculture, many other kinds of private businesses, even transportation and supply chain to a large extent) works on a Feudal "hasil karo aur chalao" lines
where owners (who own a resource through buying or investing) directly interact with workers and management has no legal role and authority to play. This type of economic setup causes not only bad management of resources but also repression of workers who do not find anyway to progress and become hopeless; thus they try to resort to either unfair means, look for messiahs, join politics or become religious zealots etc. Ironically same Feudal who caused repression in first place now changes face as a politician and starts talking sweetly, getting poor people loans and charity etc and try to become their messiah. They even cover up illegal activities of "the poor and oppressed" to gain their political support. The state is then compelled to serve Feudal interests since they now also have political upper hand besides just economical. Political clash of interests then causes not only political instability in the country but also violence and disorder, because Feudal has their own dictatorial mindset and is in control of people both economically and politically. And educated middle class has to suffer the consequences of sin they never did and wait for political stability to come before they can work. If Pakistan is to improve, educated management (middle) class has to insert itself legally in all the economic spheres and take away some rights from owners (or upper class of investors) either by force or through struggle. This will give fair chances of progress to workers (who can progress by making it up to management class through education and skill improvement) and hamper authoritarian control of resources and the state by Feudal. The sheep in Pakistani society is actually educated middle class who is not ready to fight for their rights and insert itself in the broad society. Do you see any politician working in that direction, tell me honestly
. Only a new economic setup will shape a new society and a new society will shape new politics where no buffoon will be able to gather millions and disrupt social life for no solid reason. When a solid economic setup gives fair chances of progress to everyone and has its roots all across the country, it will serve to bring people closer and remove ethnic sentiments as well. India is not progressing because of continuity of political system alone, its progressing because it also inherited a better economic setup than ours and its middle class is gradually inserting itself into the society very successfully in virtually the same local political conditions as ours.
That my friends was all I was trying to prove in this thread
. Pakistan needs an organic economic setup all over the land and things will improve only then
. But sadly, we are not even budging towards such reforms
. Over and out
