It may be because Sharifs and Zardaris have a God given right to rule Pakistan and are genetically superior to average Pakistanis...right??? i mean what else could be the explanation
Do we have capable and able decision makers and heads to utilize the resources of Pakistan and specially the human resource, and to enhance them and develop them?
When UAE was formed in 1971 only one ruler out of the seven rulers was formally educated at university and he had couple of PHDs. Now, since decades the criteria to be member of the Federal National Council (something like our parliament) is minimum Masters degree.
Looking at Pakistan (1947), we by now should have had a law in place which sets the bar at PHD degree for anyone wanting to sit in the parliament or senate or the provincial assemblies. Provincial assemblies can have masters degree as minimum.
If out of 180 million+ Pakistanis we cannot bring forward people having PHDs to the parliament, senate and the provincial assemblies then nothing will change in the nation even after 15 years of continuous uninterrupted democratic rule through free and fair elections and same parties and politicians getting 5 year mandates democratically.
UAE had shortage of manpower (be it normal manpower or educated ones having masters and PHDs) but the leaders set one thing in sight not to allow this to be an excuse to take the nation where it is now. On the contrary Pakistan has always had no shortage of manpower (be it normal manpower or educated ones having masters and PHDs) but the leaders set one thing in sight to make sure personal links and priorities are always on the top.
Technically Pakistan has everything, resources, manpower, huge population that can be tapped for economic, industrial and technological development and be seen among the top economically advanced countries. But Alas, nothing can be done if don't have the right people to run the nation.
Oh, I know we have the right people, they are the politicians and their supporters think if those leaders die Pakistan will be doomed and cease to exist. And the saviors can be their sons, daughters and close relatives and friends.
