In my opinion, every thing will settle at its place if we hammer & retune the Judiciary... Terrorism, poor law & order situation, corruption & every other known problem is mainly due to the corrupt & unnecessarily complex judicial system & that too hijacked by a bunch of jokers. What good could you expect when small cases are prolonged over generations & innocents get severe punishments while those who commit crimes against humanity are set free.

Correct the Judicial system & give some exemplary punishments to a few convicted ones irrespective of the consequences or threats & then see the miracles.

Brother , i shall add to the aforementioned ,well-pointed and judiciously observed problems by you ,at the risk of annoying you ,that the very bureaucratic and highly centralised model of governance with no willingness to share authority and decision-making on the part of our civil-military bereaucrats has broken the backbone of our country folk.To add these grievances , the apparatus of the disbursement of public funds, through which these are used, is wholly objectionable and had remained without any sort of parliamentary oversight or a strict auditing system .Although there is mechanism for control and scrutiny over these processes,in form of the parliament's public accounts committee and accounts and audit department under pakistan auditor general ,yet their perfermonces in terms of tangible effects has been under question by many.Though ,it is impossible in any state and in any organization to be without bereaucracy but its clout must be tailored towards nil if the country aspires to be among the respectful nations of the world.

Every country has its own set of problems , no country is free from problems, Real issue is not the presence of the problems , it is the extent and intensity of the problems which set a country on loss on every possible aspect. Likewise Pakistan is also abound with problems i.e Social, Economic, Legal, Political, Spiritual, Psychological and the list goes on.

You know what, one of the main problems is that our bureaucracy is expected & trained to write longgggg longggggg essays on each & everything and also load rather super charge their minds & tongues with exceptionally out of the world English language just to impress rather depress Uncles, Sam, Tom, George & David. But unfortunately, neither root cause analysis is possible nor problems could be addressed this way i.e by selecting individuals who are good at nothing except writing essays & preparing reports in hypocritically diplomatic way, by saying "sab acha hai ya jald ho jaey ga" & then proposing impractical solutions in the form of well arranged essays, then receiving awards & honours & other privileges without doing something concrete for the homeland. Selecting individuals who always pose false optimism & could propose unrealistic solutions could lead nowhere as we are moving in a circle during last 66yrs.

P.S: Nothing personal against you but this is a general trend that I have seen everywhere & at every level of bureaucracy including CSSforum, where every other member is only trying to prove his English & essay writing skills irrespective of the nature & scope of topic under discussion.

1. Bureaucracy of Pakistan is not about selecting Hypocrites,

2. at least the problems i mentioned in the above post are just some of the many problems that are included in context of this thread i,e All The Problems Of Pakistan

3.. If u got impressed or depressed ,obvious from your stance/reply, you can also shape this impression/depression for your benefit, i.e take into ur account the aforesaid problems of Pakistan.........might help you in essay paper.........instead of making dissonance here.

4. If you think the bureaucrats just make the lists of problems without any solution its ur wrong perception..........they also do more than what u can desire for Pakistan......in Case you are made a bureaucrat, i hope u will not be insincere with your job/duty if not hypocrite....... ( to a jaundiced eye everything is yellow)....

5. I don't take it personally , however its just the response created by your attitude towards bureaucracy............from a certain angle also towards yourself.......thanx

Well I guess I shouldn't have quoted only your's post when I was posting something regarding a general trend of cssforum & our bureaucracy. Appreciate your balanced response!

Assalam-o-alaikum dear seniors
Kindly explain these issues with example as I am not getting the meaning of these Issues,
Institutional Imbalance
Women are subjugated
Politicization of Institutions
Meritocracy
Yellow Journalism
And the difference between Nepotism & favoritism along with example

Institutional Imbalance : The constitution defines the limitations of institutions. It sets a balance of power between different institutions. For Example, Judiciary and Parliament have their own authority, power and clout. When one institution, tries to arrogate more power to itself, it causes imbalance. As a result, functioning of this state is impaired. Another example is that of Pakistan army. Army is supposed to defend the frontiers of the country against external aggression. But in Pakistan, Army is involved in Politics, law enforcement in Karachi and many areas, that does not fall under it's constitutional jurisdiction.

Women are subjugated : Women do not have equal rights in Pakistan. Example, honor killing. Even in tribal areas, women are not allowed to vote.

Politicization of institution : Favorite bureaucrats are rewarded with rapid promotions and in armed forces. For example, the appointment of Lt. Gen Zia Butt by Nawaz Sharif, during his previous stint.

Meritocracy : ability and merit should be the sole basis of appointment to government jobs.

Yellow journalism : sensationalism and exploitation comes under yellow journalism.

Hope it helps.

How Bureaucracy became a problem 'OF' Pakistan
Strange
