Carrot and Stick policy: A visit of US First lady to Pakistan March 1962



 Carrot and Stick policy: A visit of US First lady to Pakistan March 1962

Masters always love to use Carrot and Stick policy to fulfill their interests. Masters always get a Bashir in this regard but in real terms for masters everyone is Bshir. The story of BASHIR is a proof of shameful flight in which #US media made Bashir a hero but the hidden message in it was more clear for the elite i-e Americans can make dust into Gold so elite must understand it. We still, in 21st century, due to multiple reasons, failed to deconstruct Bashir phenomenon and one fine proof of it is Aqeel Abbas Jaffery short film at #BBC. In post WW2 scenario, power was shifting from colonial masters to uncle Sam yet colonial selected elite during 1950s and 1960s remained reluctant to accept it So Bashir was a symbol and in the eyes of Americans local rulers were Bashirs. Sikandar Mirza and General Ayub and many in civil military elite including Korean War beneficiaries (Business tycoons)  were their first love because in early 1950s many of them had played vital role for new masters. But they were not the permanent employees. Before his departure from power Ayub had to write Friends not masters but it was too late. What happened with Zia and Musharraf is a known story in this regard. So like every master, Americans too need Bashirs only, but our rulers often ignore it and it is the history.

Youth, Education & Alienation: Where is the fault? A radio discussion with Dr Saeed ur Rahman



Youth, Education & Alienation: Where is the fault? 
A radio discussion with Dr Saeed ur Rahman
The story of existential crisis of unemployed literate youth and its fatal impacts. 
Why our youth is alienated from education? Education has lost its linkage with knowledge & research. Students in higher education are only interested in degrees rather then knowledge. If money making is the prime value then why we are accusing youth? Our current education has less room for knowledge & research. On top of it our education is far away from people and their various cultures. Since 2004 percentage of students leaving Universities has been increased yet for market these are useless and it has increased percentage of unemployed literate youth and every year it is increasing. Let us listen the discussion. Dr Saeed is PhD from Australia in post colonial literature.
