Pakistan should learn from Bangladesh
By Adnan Farooqui • Sep 7th, 2009 • Category: Features • 24 CommentsIt is true that Bangladesh, once a part of Pakistan came into being almost 24 years later than Pakistan. So it is basically a fact that keeping in views the entire crisis that Pakistan faces, and the shortfalls, Bangladesh would be one step ahead.
The key to eliminate all the difficulties and eradicate all of the problems is that alongside the common man, those who govern the nation and are responsible for the progress and prosperity should equally be determined to keep the situation under control.
One of the most widespread of the problems, is the shortage of electricity in Pakistan, with the demand supply gap rising. Most parts of Pakistan or areas of major cities suffer from prolonged power outages, while the officials in the offices of the power authorities or the state employees enjoy the perk of having electricity around the clock. This is one such act that puts the sense of isolation inside the people, that the rulers enjoy all the comforts while the common man is given nothing at all.
Recently a piece of news caught my attention. Bangladesh has told all of its government officials to avoid wearing suits, jackets and ties during the summer to save electricity used on air conditioning. The Bangladeshi cabinet announced its decision recently, saying officials should wear open necked shirts and trousers changing a dress code that had been in place since 1982. This code was adhered to, at least by the mid and senior level officials who used to don a suit even in the hot months of March-Nov. This change shows the latest steps taken by the government of Bangladesh to curb the shortfall of electricity.
Its shows that the government is concerned about their country and their people. The high officials of Pakistan should also cease to enjoy the high level of comforts and sacrifice their privileges for the betterment of Pakistan.

Hi Adnana,
We in India are learning from bangladesh about Micro financing. Grameen bank and safety of exported labour to Slave owners like Saudi Arbaia and modern Malaysia.
Bangladesh is also teaching Indians about Drug mutinationals of America which charge enormously from poor while shedding crocidile tears.It has also abolished Terrorism by eliminating all.
But Saudi arabia is trying to sabotage this emerging modern Islamic nation by KILLING BOTH THE BEGUMS AT ONE GO THROUGH ITS HIT MAN DAWOOD. India could stop this plot.
Pakistan’s standard has now come to that point where she should learn business secrets from Bangladesh, fighting techniques from Afghanistan, curtailing civil war like situation from Rwanda. famine contingency from Ethiopia or Sudan and how to tackle insurgency from Algeria.
Along with this we are first muslim nuclear power and having 3rd world largest army.
so country’ inclination is quite obvious from her field of fames.
No comments further.
,
there is always a chance to learn and it depends how we avail it but in our case we don’t even bother to notice it. but this is the case with the government level. cant we bring small and nice changes on individual level???
Nazia,
That point where Pakistan has come which you rightly mentioned is due to the insincerety and incompetence of your favorite democratically elected govt.
In other words you are slapping to the present politicians and appreciating Musharraf regime (which you always condemn)
Thank you Nazia for coming out of insanity within two years of so called democracy
AOM
your name should be written in the list of most stubborn lover in this 21 st century where a man without 3 or 4 senses can judge the qualities of his/her fancy man through little experience.But it is your fate to receive hitting remarks from audience who always consider him that father of destruction in our land.
We are just eating the fruits of his curses in the form of BRO government.
Your lover is also blatant like you who still has no remorse what he has done in the past to his country and still wants to return to field of politics as retd general musharf,,it is just like to add further insult to his previous acts of shame.It is is true there is no end to shame less conscience and it will be sticky to him as long as he would live on loot money he got through war and terror activities.
Hi Nazia,
You have been very fair in treatment of subjects very TRUTHFULLY.
But in your comment no2 , you show a type of arrogance. What is so bad about learning from bangladesh,Afghanistan,Rwanda if they have something GOOD to offer?
Yes Johann , any points against Pakistan, wuld be sooo truthfull to you. You seem to be a person like BJP leadeship, when Jaswant singh was truthfull, kick him out for being truthfull, Interestin double standards of Indain policies and the mindset of the Middle class, who are inspires by Shaktimans and Rakhii sawant. Slumdog is what it is all about. Pls visit a mental health institute in pune

there is no arrogance in my expression but surely inferiority complex with lot of pain is now dominating on us after seeing the dying standard of Pakistan is all fields.
You know once my father had lead Pakistan army to train UAE and saudis in 1970s era.
My Aunt trained Bangladeshi doctors in family planning procedures and in operational techniques to control their population explosions,
Once our army was called by morocco govt in 1960s to help them in trouble time.
In 1970S our PIA management went to UAE for setting emirate air line basic setup and now see where emirate are now flying and where we are standing as such.
Our cricket team has now standard of playing with only Bangladesh’ as all developed country has now discarded us in field of cricket.

Whom are you planning to train??
i would love people like you to train many indian young women who are simply NOT interested in national affairs.
BL
The responsibility of training the young Indian woman has been taken by your bollywood actresses and Indian drama culture.Both imaginative and unpractical ways are so strong that no simple and practical way is now required to train them.
The life styles of your actors and actresses and decorative set up of dramas presented in your media is you real national affairs and my bold and simple life styles are not matching with your requirement.
It is also true that you have passed this glamor and drama disease to our side too.
yesterday I visited to my aunt when I entered in her room audio tape of surah rehman was on and on her TV, Indian drama with full sounds of suspense was on air.
So training of our and your women are successfully doing by your media.
Dear Nazia
Its a fact of life that people wanna get entertained.
Its a natural human tendency.
You wrote:
“my bold and simple life styles are not matching with your requirement.”
That’s what i want you to teach us.
I believe in eternal flow of knowledge between countries.
Also, supply will be there if there is DEMAND.
There is a DEMAND for such shows in Pakistan and India…..so we have the supply
Also millions of people get employment in India’s entertainment industry
Human mental development is not linked with demand and supply formula.
Writers and media give guidelines to less intelligent, incompetent and inactive majority which is called public.
Writers and creators of such fictions are just doing for sake of money by giving them imaginative way of living.This is same example people if want drugs then govt and supplier would be given free hand to supply them as per demand.But why it is prohibited as it brings the person into world of illusions and keep him or her away from real life.
The addiction of such culture is showing us declining of our real moral and cultural values and sooner we will pay in the form of more impatient young generation .They will take no time to suicide or adopt illegal way of earning or avoid their real responsibilities which is surely a tough way of passing life.
Such imaginative way of life are hardly found in other cultures and countries and now become specialty of Indian culture too.
I give you one example that once Indian woman was remembered for her extreme sincerity toward her family and known as binder of a family now she is popular for her extra martial affairs or dirty family politics.

Americans are very lucky that the principles on which their whole system is based on truthfulness, accountability of all from head to down., strong judical system made by their forefathers and excellent credibility of law enforcing institutions.This system is free of moral values as you mentioned above even then you see that they always bring top people having strong family values.
If you observe what they say and do in their normal life styles is same as what they delivering through media culture except for some Hollywood fiction to mesmerize the youth by power of human imagination.
Their system led by Ibrahim lincon, george Washington is so strong and has concrete foundation that now even you place a donkey on the president seat, the system will run effectively as all factors of governance are counter checking each other.
So it is very important which leadership gives you strong foundation as other usually follow the footsteps.If you got corrupt leaders on early stage of development as we south Asians had, the results are obvious in our side which we try to hide through wrong interpretation of media and cosmetically to impress others.

West has developed because it has allowed people TO BE FREE .
They are FREE to question anything….
They are FREE to think…….
They are FREE to write anything……Rushdie, Taslima have been living in fear……..but DAN BROWN who attacked the basis of christianity(da vinci code) continues to live in christian majority country.
They are FREE to live with or without marriage
Their women are FREE to wear anything they like…………and many other freedoms……
This UN-BOUND FREEDOM has resulted in development of Society….but in South Asia, we are busy DESTROYING freedom of individuals.This is the biggest hindrance of development…..
You pointed out that in comment 10:
“”"yesterday I visited to my aunt when I entered in her room audio tape of surah rehman was on and on her TV, Indian drama with full sounds of suspense was on air.”"”"”
You see…your respected aunt had FULL FREEDOM to change the channel if she does not like it…..right??
Then why was she watching it???……..Simply because she was enjoying it
It is important to understand the importance of enjoyment
Little brother BL
you say
West has developed because it has allowed people TO BE FREE .
This concept lead them to be moral free and character free nation.
Because of this free style their life are now free of emotions for their love ones.
Here kids dont know the name of their parents and also dont bother as state is providing them what here parents do in our society but no doubt free of passions.
You here never visited to their old homes or orphanage where people are yearning for human passions that has been suppressed by human technology.
I accept that this system gives you best way of life when one is young and energetic and this system is just designed to suck the energy of any young man as per requirement of their job load and that is why I consider them best human planner and organizers but after the youth is passed nothing is left there for lonely and broken family there.
Their system is standing on hardworking and paid as per work.
truthfulness is their key to success.
Honesty is found in their blood and they provide justice to all without any differentiation and strictly followed these codes for last century.
America is designed on religious free basis but if you come to EU they have their own conservative way of living and their prosperity level is same high as Americans.
BL
my aunt if refrained her self to only watching dramas then I accept your point that she was enjoying as other ladies do in her free time but her combination of surah rehman and Indian dramas is showing us her double standard of living and some how bring her in range of hypocrite people.
Such media power is producing such class that is feeling no regret on their double triple standard of living..
Grameen Bank example could be implemented in remote areas of Pakistan.
Gramen Bank is the most simplest form of banking that would only benefit to lower class of any society and for this purpose we need a guidance of economist who knows the science of banking above than banker.
Bangladesh just had one man dr Younus a banker and economist too who successfully implemented this theme on the basis of his honest intentions and with accurate judgment of handling the contingency in the field of banking.So Pakistan lacks in professional people like him with some moral courage and having control in their profession.They only work for higher class and don’t take risk of giving empowerment to our lower class.
Our last PM was banker and he made majority of working class as small loan taker of banks.Now the people who trapped in his credit offer system is now going to pay for 20 to 25 years for one car and one little home.
On the other hand he granted huge loans to his and generals’ friends and then declared them defaulters,Now the curses of these defaulter are being transferred and burdened on other loan takers by increasing interest rates from 11 to 17 % and on our saving schemes where profit has been reduced up to 5 to 6%,
After this they ran away from the scene and let people to suffer due to their ignorance and on leaders’ negative intentions.
