The meaning of Pakistan

[VCheng]

Extremism and personal egos-fear of being proven wrong . Mind you sir,extremism is not only associated with religious mullahs but so called liberalist as well.
We don't need Massiah but self correction.The key towards self correction is to listen others and realize by analyzing your belief and sources and it is not tough.Just keep your egos aside and listen calmly to each other for god sake,look for common points to establish strong bonds with each other.

Great points, but please see this very forum as an example of just how far we have to go for these things to even begin to happen.

@Slav Defence For a long while now, I've been urging confused Pakistanis to ask themselves who they are.

This thread proves that the people who live between Afghanistan, India and Iran are Pakistanis.
Now we need to ask who are Pakistanis, are they secular, religious, conservative, liberal, anarchists or authoritarian. For the sake of Pakistan an answer needs to be developed or found.

With the greatest respect, it doesn't need to be asked...and so on.

I have argued with no effect, of course, that once a body of people is willing to define itself as Pakistani, that is a sufficient condition. Nothing more is needed. Anything more amounts to academic discussions of discovery, or of exegesis of research findings.

The mughul ruled for three centuries and their impact was global.They were super power of their age.The very word mughul is now used in English for something very powerful.Muslim culture was rich and recognizable. They made buildings like taj mehal- one of the wonders of the world.It was the time when prosperity has flourished throughout in India.There was tolerance of art and culture.Indians still praise King Akbar for his attitude towards Hindu subject while critics accuse him for inventing suli e kul[mixing of all religions and introducing a new religion which reciprocates with the concept of monotheism].
Nevertheless, the mughul rule was ended because Muslim wasted their lives,wealth and authority in luxury and lavishness.When Oxford university was established in Britain, Muslims were funding prostitutes and dancers.

Hence ,nature has transferred power and authority to Britain and sub continent was transformed into British India.The Muslims were left behind in every field of life. Hindus realized the change and they shook their hands with British after Battle of Ghader where as the Muslims were hanged in streets for betraying British India.

At this critical hour,Maulana Muhammed Ali Jauher and others step forward and awake the sleepy soul of Muslims and under the leadership of Quaid e Azam muslims achieved Pakistan.How much our forefathers have made sacrifices and were suffering of their torment while migrating towards Pakistan? These shameless armchair privates won't be able to imagine their crisis.



Women,children and old people were slaughtered for dreaming Pakistan.

This was the price payed by our ancestors for dreaming Pakistan.They were torn into pieces when armchair intellects were shamelessly calling it Britishers 'divide and rule' policy. Our great grand mothers were raped about half a century ago when their generations were mocking their dream of Pakistan while holding wine glass just yesterday.
Our heartless and shameless people don't even remember that Pakistan was created in 27th of Ramadan Kareem according to Islamic calendar.
Our forefathers taught us the meaning of Pakistan:

This does not only mean that we will establish a Muslim state-but a state in which Muslims and non-muslims will practice their religion.A state in which minorities and majorities will be treated with equality and justice.They dreamed of Islamic state because they believed that they will be prosperous.

Hence,our forefathers aimed to establish a beautiful land of pure.

Pakistan was a dream before 1947 which has now become reality.Our ancestors under the leadership of Mr.Jinnah has achieved it.Now the very same Islam is misinterpreted and manipulated by so called ulemas.Where as so called liberals are step ahead in mocking the dreams and Objectives of Pakistan.
Instead of blaming and throwing filth at each other we must realize our own mistakes and repent of our sins.We must realize that both Islam and democratic rights were misinterpreted and abused. The most simplest solution is that we must realize our own mistakes and use our rights for the nation's benefit rather then maligning and dividing to score some brownies.

Beautiful write up.

Pakistan meri jaan!

The name Pakistan literally means "Land of the Pure" in Urdu and Persian. It comes from the word pāk meaning pure in Persian and Pashto while the word istān is a Persian word meaning place of; it is a cognate of the Sanskrit word sthāna (Devanagari: स्थान [st̪ʰaːnə]). P-a-ki /Pak-i in urdu also means to be a clean / pure person possessing purity, while Pak is a Persian word, which mans holy/ pure/ clean.

"Pakistan" has a double meaning, it was originally invented by Choudhary Rahmat Ali as an acronym for a future union of Punjab, Afghania, Kashmir, Iran, Sindh, Tukharistan, Afghanistan, and balochistaN. Choudhary Rahmat Ali was upset with how his invention of the word "Pakistan" has been misused with the creation of the much smaller divisive state of "Pakistan" out of united India. For more information on Choudhary Rahmat Ali and the origins of the invention of the word "Pakistan" see Choudhry Rahmat Ali - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I agree with you.
Not only Pakistan's name,but Pakistan as whole was created to explore broader horizon.However,things didn't turned out what they should:

1-Limited education system
2-Unstable economy
3-Hostile neighbors
4-Corruption
5-Poverty
6-TTP
and a lot more...

However,we have achieved a lot of goals as well:

1-Pakistan as 7th nuclear state
2-Improving economy
3-Encountering and annihilating terrorists outfits.
4-Manipulating hostile neighbors,thus they are ending up in their own gambit.
5-Encountering corruption ie handling corrupted party workers in Karachi for example.
6-Improving LEA scenario
7-Building up powerful army
8-Attempts are being made to assure minority rights
9-Emerging film industry
10-Politicians are given freedom of expression
11-Decline in inner sect riots
12-Established earlier the 1973 constitution
13-Survived in previous war fares
14-Producing good researchers and scientists,doctors,engineers etc
15-Handling tribal areas effectively.
