I never discussed politics at home, rarely watch TV because when I am back in Pakistan, I have lot of other stuff to do. Yesterday my son changed WhatsApp Profile pic of my and his mom's accounts to IK and Behind you skipper banner. When I asked why you did it, he told me that their whole class had plan to do it to support IK. He is in Grade 6. My daughter in Grade 8 also said same, they even wanted to create twitter accounts but I have bared them from FB,Twitter etc.
These duffer property managers still are unable to understand changing reality, in few years these kids will be eligible to vote, do these property managers think that they'll be able to control young generation with censorship and can shove respect for fauj forcefully, do they think that they'll vote for crooks and their partner in crime. How long they'll be able to manipulate elections to favor crooks on whom they have files ready and can manage.
Only if these property managers have focused more on their profession instead of managing East India Company' and their personal interests we would have been at much better place.
The Imperial British Army in the Raj looked at the land it was supposed to defend as predominantly a fiefdom that needed to be protected principally to protect the Imperial project, not as a goal in itself.
While defense was certainly a big part of their duties, their actual institutional purpose was ORDER and CONTROL.
Our Army wasn't created from scratch through the organization of resistance movements against the colonizers or something --- it mostly consisted of 'native' officers who had joined the Imperial British Army (to rule over their own people, and also receive land and other perks in exchange of loyalty to the Crown). This institutional culture is what defines the Army today.
At PMA --- unlike in Turkey, Iran, China, Japan, Germany, Israel, etc. --- you are FORCED to not speak the native language as a cadet. You HAVE to speak the language of the oppressor or you'll be penalized. These 'little things' point toward much larger intellectual and emotional slavery of a very deep level.
