I have posted this before but here is the list (not exactly 10):
1) Education: Lack of education/knowledge be it religious or non religious leads to problems such as extremism, intolerance, unemployment,..... etc.
Introduce education for all and free schooling till metric?
All Mosques and Madrassas should be registered and should be under the state control (Get rid of all the derh eent ki masjid i.e. mosques to just collect funds). All the mullana should be appointed like civil service people but please employee educated people who have the religious knowledge. Integrate madrassas into school so to have one system of education.
2) Unity: There is no sense of unity. People are divided in casts (Ch, Jatt, Watto... etc), regions (Sindhi, Punjabi... etc), religious sects (sunni, shia,...etc).
Take out the cast names of every ones name for a start.
3) Justice: Absence of justice. A corrupt judiciary means people do whatever they feel like. Whoever has money and power will abuse the system. No accountability so other problems could be linked to this such as bribery, dishonesty, fraud etc.
4) Police: Absence of a working and honest security force. People are vulnerable and they take matters in their own hands. People with resources abuse the system. This leads to gangs, robberies, killings, rapes..... etc.
5) Patwari System: A corrupt ancient system which is easily manipulated. Adopt a computerized system similar to UK Land Registry (some progress has been made). Land reforms are needed to get rid of the feudals.
6) WAPDA: This department is the most incompetent. Couldn't build a single dam for four decades. Wasted time and money and most of all water (it will be very precious in the coming decade).
It is essential that water and power resources are developed. Pakistan is already a water scarce country and unless we build more reservoirs and hydro power the future generation may not survive.
7) PIA and Railway need reforms and strip politics out of these departments. Maybe even partly privatize it. Similar to PTCL model?
8) Tax: Major reforms needed.
9) Political system: Politics in Pakistan is more like choosing between two families for a ruler or the Army. This need to change.
10) Poverty: This is the main cause for many problems. Help people around oneself. Charity has been prescribed on all who are able. Spend the money wisely. Try to provide a long term fix i.e. employment.
11) Waste management: Toxic waste, Household waste and chemical waste from industries need to be managed properly with modern techniques otherwise the water resources and land resources will suffer greatly.
12) Ethnic minorities: Care for ethnic minorities. Respect other religions. Encourage diversity. Encourage tolerance.
These problems and issues cannot be resolved overnight. It may take a couple of decades or even a generation to fix. Every Pakistani will need to play their part at home and Overseas. Remember reform starts at home. Educate (religious, sciences, ethics, honesty, unity, tolerance) oneself and ones family, friends, neighbours, community, city.
Create opportunities for oneself, ones family, friends, neighbours, community, city.... Cooperate with each other and hard work is the only way forward.
