could you also tell me what exactly was it written in urdu? just wanna know how many words i could crack correctly. :-)
sorry for this off topic.

ghareeb (poor) kay (of) leader (leader) ka (of) maqbara (tomb)
zinda (living) ghareeb (poor) ka (of) ghar (house)

The urdu sentence reads backwards.

With the kind of personality worship in our country, Dynastic Politics is completely understandable. Our nation is always looking towards some super-hero who can wave the magic wand solve all problems in the blink of an eye.

When the super-hero dies, the sons/daughters of the super-hero are bound to captivate the minds of our people.

The tiny group of educated snobs in Pakistan are always fuming and whining about dynastic politics. It probably hurts their over-inflated egos.

Hey guys, why don't you ponder over the social order in this country. You don't have to look far; just observe your extended family to find out how this society works. You will definitely find the reason for dynastic politics.

Not only Aitezaz, I was listening to Senator Taj Haider this morning. He is a friend of my Mamoon (and father-in-law) and his father Professor Karrar Hussain has taught my father in 50s. Professor Karrar's family is a truly remarkable family, highly educated, and very well respected in the society. Yet, I was extremely disappointed to hear how Taj Haider saheb was supporting Bilawal and PPP. I mean I just cant believe that a person of Taj Haider saheb's age and persona would be sitting respectfully in front of Bilawal and nodding head in agreement. Come on, what the hell is this?


Bhai jab khappay ka sawal ho tau aisa hi hota hai ...........

The issue is not in Pakistan alone. This plague of dynastic politics haunts India to about the same extent - not just Nehru family but Karunanidhi, Yadav, Abdullah, Chautala etc etc. We've thankfully been kicking these parties out of power recently.
