Notions of Honour
I have a few problems with this article, but it is an interesting view point from across the border:
Not to be left behind, even supposedly rational scientists like Dr Samar Mubarakmand have joined the jingoistic ranks by calling on the government to show no flexibility in the face of India’s allegations, saying that after all it would take Pakistan only 10 minutes to fire the nuclear missiles.
It may be true that we now have the capability to fire our nuclear missiles in just 10 minutes. Our highest key performance indicator (KPI) for excellence seems to be the speed with which we can annihilate our enemy. Can we also rescue our citizens from a burning building in 10 minutes? Can we come to the rescue of a woman being raped within 10 minutes? Can we recover a child who has fallen into a manhole in 10 minutes? Can we take a sick person to hospital and give him treatment in 10 minutes? Can we stop the burying alive of helpless women in 10 minutes, or can we even register an FIR in 10 minutes? If we can do none of these, and can only annihilate our perceived enemies in 10 minutes, we have a perverted understanding of honour and need to revisit and revise our KPIs.
Writer definitely has a point.
Excellent viewpoint. We need to first get our house in order before talking about outsiders.
I read a good article where the author makes a point that why do we keep asking Pakistan for Dawood, when we allow his men and network to flourish in India. There is a don at the docks who is well known by the cops, but we do nothing about it. While we cant clean our own laundry, we go about asking outsiders to clean our laundry
While we cant clean our own laundry, we go about asking outsiders to clean our laundry
it worked in 2nd standard (udhar dekho teacher aa rahi hai!!!!! – swipe what you want – ahahahahah buddhu banayaa naa!) so why won’t it work in politics?
