A Donkey cart, the Pakistan Army and our Bourgeoisie
By Rana • Jan 23rd, 2009 • Category: Politics • 6 CommentsThe other day as I was driving to home I can across a donkey cart that was heading straight for me. It was about 10 meters from me and I immediately pressed my horn to avoid a head-on collision. Despite my desperate attempt, it hit the driver side of my bumper smashing my headlights and indicator. Quite pissed at what had happened, I got out and looked at the two persons, a father and a son, riding the cart. They immediately came up with an excuse that the reins of the donkey had cut loose and it had gone wild. Not very happy at what had happened, yet feeling pity at the poor fellow, I told him that he should avoid speeding the cart as he might have killed someone on the road. Just to teach them a lesson, I told him that he would have to pay for the damage to my car. Upon hearing that he pulled out his all his pockets which had a total of Rs. 110 in them, which was his earning for the day. I felt so sad at the poor fellow, I wondered how on a mere Rs. 100 per day, he fed his family, his donkey (cattle feed is quite expensive) and maintained his cart.
And then I thought of the brigadiers that live next to my house. The brigadiers and generals that have sucked the blood of our nation by taking kickbacks on the huge defense equipment that they buy from the west, under the delusion of “protecting” us. Pakistan spends 3% of its GDP on these good for nothing brigadiers and generals. If Pakistan didn’t have the bomb, we would be on our knees in 24 hours if attacked by India. 1971 is an open testament to this fact. When asked about what he thought of the Pakistan Army, a top Indian general laughed and said “They are bloody property dealers.” He was referring to the colonels, brigadiers and generals whose only interest is in Defence Housing Authority (DHA) plots and Cantonment area bungalows. I feel ashamed when I saw army officers wearing commando suits selling “files” in DHA. Three percent (3%) of our GDP of $450 billion translates into a staggering $13.5 billion (this is just the tip of the iceberg, if we add political kickbacks, this figure would easily be in the tune of $50 billion). This ($13.5 billion) could take care of 18 million of our poor (a good 11% of our population) by giving them just Rs. 5000 per month. What a shame! When will we rise and say “NO” to the economic oppression and exploitation that goes about in this country? What will take us to have a revolution like the French did 200 years and killed every one of their bourgeoisie and saved their future generations from oppression by a few. When will we hang the traitors that have sold the blood and souls of our people?
Thinking of all of this, my head went down in shame and told him to take care next time, as I drove off to my house. Silence, they say, amounts to agreement and consensus.

Get easy load against army from this article
Shame on you rascal. Where did you get that car? Why didnt you prefer to exchange your car with that donkey cart. Your father had made the bomb? It was only the army due to which this nation got the bomb. And you must have been forced fed grass by your beloved Indians had this army not been there. And you remembered that Indian Genereal and not our Zardaris, Nawazs and all other politicians.
People like you can only dream of slavery, no revolution. Shame on you…
People say that those people born on first April are fool enough to be tagged in the contest of insane.
After going through your, so called unaccustomed accidental story of sentiments cum emotions, I have no hesitation but to regard what people have floated as perhaps observation.
By the way Mr. Rana, carefully scrutinizing and assessing your personality with reference to the idea as article, I have no second thought but to believe that you have some internal personality clash that is superimposing its effect in a depressing way of litigation at the level of social deprivation.
Though I would never go to clash as expression, your deranged attitude towards prestigious service of Pakistan but conflicting for a moment on the issue of economic suffocation and its direct impact with reference to one single affiliated group of individual seemingly assures that you have some old direct rift that is troubling you and your personality with in the distribution of incentives and designations.
My dear there is of course a difference between Mr. Rana, a donkey cart driver and a star general.
Your incentive, pay emoluments and rest fringes have the backups of your qualification and designated assignment.
Sanctification has no rough surface and under no means dirt as desire and dust as surround can sludge the porosity of the term.
“prestigious” “star” - what a joke. The Pakistan Army is the most corrupt institution in Pakistan especially the top brass, which are involved in siphoning the “military aid” given to Pakistan as well as in kickbacks on purchase of defense equipment. The Pakistan army has always being involved in killing its own people - today in the tribal areas and East Pakistan in 1971. The army’s performance in 1971 and Kargil is a proof of our “defense capabilities”.
Pakistan army as of today, is by no doubt the most corrupt and notorious institution in Pakistan, they are absolutely good for nothing and as rightly pointed out by the Indian general, a bunch of property dealers. A A Naizi (of the bangladesh fame) in the last interview before his death was mainly worried about the fact that he didnt get the land he was promised in kasur!
How can ordinary majors, colonels and brigaders build mansions in DHA on their “real salaries” - of course all the money comes from corruption and kickbacks.
Hi - great site, would you consider doing a reciprocal link with me? I would promote any page of your choice. I have a number of other sites with PR3 and above. It would greatly help both of us if you are interested. Please email me if you are - my name is Chris Canos - thanks.
Hi! Sir this is indeed a commendable effort to expose the most corrupt institution in human human history. You must be saint to embark upon such a holly mission. Beyond any doubt this satanic army has inflicted irretrievable losses on this country who are operating in the cloak of piety. Lets tear it down. Army has been assigned a workout from its fathers namely the jews to ravage this country and this is what they are really good at. Let me start with general ayub who did away with one part of this country through his atrocious style of rule. He got rid of F. Jinnah after rigging elections against her. He culminated politics and politicians declared as perpetrators. Because they represented
People of this country.
