Make Pakistan a Monarchy!
 

I wrote this rather humorous article and thought I'd post it here too :)


[QUOTE]I’ve been thinking about Pakistan’s problems recently and I think I have a solution: declare Pakistan a monarchy! Wait! Before you guys beat me up, at least hear me out. First, don’t the words “President” and “Prime Minister” conjure up images in your minds of educated, well-bred, decent people? Zardari and Gillani don’t really fit into the roles, do they? No, they don’t. But now imagine His Highness King Zardari (the Great) and everything makes perfect sense. A king need not be an educated or able person. In fact, most of the time, he just needs to be lucky. And rich (duh). Actually, he must be VERY RICH, preferably at the expense of his people. Although not necessary, it is an added bonus if the King is extremely self-indulgent, with no regard for anyone else. Usually, a king is a king by the virtue of being some powerful dead guy’s closest relative; in our case, Zardari is Benazir’s husband (or should I say ex-husband?). Do you guys see now how perfect a candidate for kingship Mr. Zrdari is? Plus, Gillani is perfect for a Grand Vizier, loyal and not too smart.

I guess all of you have heard stories about that evil little vizier at the court who keeps getting the King riled up against everyone and everything. And who can be better for the job than our very own Rehman Malik! As for the entertainment at court, I’m sure that the Members of the Parliament will be up to the task. Anyone who has doubts about this should watch a video of the recent fight between PPP and PML-N members in the assembly; I don’t know about you guys, but that’s entertainment to me! After all, who doesn’t enjoy a good gladiator fight? Anyways, even if all else fails, we’ll still have Maulana Fazl ur Rehman as the Royal Court’s head jester.

Kingship is hereditary and so is politics in Pakistan; after all where else would you find a 20 year old “mummy daddy bacha” declared Chairman of a major political party, except maybe North Korea, but that’s basically a monarchy too. Anyways, in Medieval England, the chaotic War of the Roses between the House of York and the House of Lancaster finally gave way to stable Tudor rule and although we are not quite there yet, we do have the Houses of Sharif and Zardari. A war is going raging between them as we speak and I think a suitable name for it would be the War of the Monies.

Moving on, once everything has settled down and King Zardari firmly established on Takht-e-Karachi, Pakistan will develop like never before! The reason for this is rather simple if you think about it; a private business usually performs better than a government owned one because the owners are genuinely interested in making it work and by the same token, once our politicians officially own Pakistan, they will work harder to improve it. After all, no factory owner or businessman ever stole money from his own accounts! In fact, I can just imagine Bilawal saying to his father:
“But Papa, my friend Prince William has such a nice country! I want one just like his!”[/QUOTE]

I am sure as per my instincts that one day Pakistan will become a monarchy (or some similar form of autocracy) :dd. That is because Pakistani society is still largely tribal and feudal and has not reached nation-state level and only monarchs can control such societies :D

Yes please. I recommend [B]Imran khan[/B] our new emperor.

All jokes aside, I believe that Pakistan is already a oligarchy in all but name...

Please don't.

I think Plutocracy would be a proper description :?

On a serious note, i am in favor of "one man rule' system be it monarchy or martial law.

Hope Zardari does not become Royal Treasurer :wacko:

countries which has monarchy system are criticized for having anarchy now in this modern era with modern demands. then why should we talk about to abolish democracy in Pakistan. Well, i do not believe that democracy in pakistan is free from flaws but we need to modify the system rather to think that it should be abolished.

It was a joke, genius.

what joke? people like u mashAllah educated and intelligent are there in the country. why should we always expect the rea change from our leaders? Charity starts at home. i think so for changing the situation the pills of education is required and as educated person u can educate 10 people at least. similarly if each and every person plays its role in his capacity, we can expect the change..

True that samia! This is the real sorrow state that we dont really believe n feel changing the things. we are good at making speeches and got titles of being wonderful orators, but we dont believe in implementing things! we have so many things to waste time on, but we dont have any time for muster our courage to change the course of history and that is something which is to be worried about!

Hope and struggle are the two basic things along with patience to accomplish anything! but unfortunately, we dont have any hope nor we are sincere to bring any change.

exactly and it is very sad situation that the nations of the whole world are thinking about to go for modern, innovative and people friendly development indicators(democracy is one of them) but in pakistan people are thinking about to favour martial law( a form of dictatorship), monarchy etc. we have other option as well. why should we not join our hands to change the things rather to go a step behind instead of going a step further?

[SIZE="3"]Must admit you are a very good writer.:clap
But your idea is very indecent.
Criticism for the sake of criticism is not a good thing.
Yes there are many flaws in our whole system, but thats not the real problem. Rather it is a symbol of the sickness of the entire society.
Not just in politics but in Army, courts, Afsare-e-shahi n even in the day to day operations of individual and collective lives, we are a prey to the hereditary favouritism.
If you want to correct the political elite, the whole society must pay heed to its flaws.

Guys, relax. I was just joking that since Pakistan is so much like a monarchy already, we should just declare it to be one :D

Actually, I'm committed to democracy. Not just democracy, but secular democracy, which, I believe is the only way forward for Pakistan. Also, many of the problems in our democratic system exist because it hasn't really been allowed to mature, always falling victim to either outright martial law or behind the scenes manipulation. Once we have had 2-3 more fair elections, the system would auto-correct itself. Plus, we didn't have this kind of an investigative media ever before and I don't think that the Pakistani masses will be fooled for too long.

Hahaha. . . .Hail to his Highness (Maharaja Asif Ali Zardari From Nawabshah, Sindh). Now just tell how cheap does it sounds?? I am impressed by your thoughts but they really does not suit Pakistan. We are from those who never get satisfied in any condition. . . Such as Bani-Israel. . . We've simply lost our identity and we people just understand one language and that's of Dictator's. Else Monarchy is far away to be implement here in Pakistan , we can't put ourselves into their shoes (Saudi's, Kuwaiti's etc).
