Great article. Mohammad Aamir ko abhi Jumma Jumma 8 Din hua hain Cricket mein woh bhi is Dor mein shamil ho gia hai.

I guess the real question that we need to ask ourselves is this…

What our cricket team is doing or what our politicians are doing or! what our kids in Sialkot did is that a reflection of “Nation of Pakistan?”

I find self criticism is one of the most common habit of Pakistanis who love to sit in Public forums and feel proud about highlighting ills of their nation and opening up the dirty laundry.
I find every Pakistani surpasses other in finding the worst possible example of how bad our nation really is for example the most shameful comments of a Pakistani news paper calling the entire nation as cockroaches?

We all are emotional in expressing our distastes on things we don’t like.
But this time the questions are real as much as the issues our nation is facing are real.

1- Is Pakistan really the most corrupt nation on earth as some people proudly claim?

2- Do Pakistan deserve to be “exterminated” either by the hands of God or by the hands of international justice as the news anchor states?

3- Regardless of unfolding events one after the other and regardless of stories in news is this really true reflection of entire nation of 180 million?

Pakistani think tank need to come out of pessimistic self critic mode (Mehdi might be asking look whose talking?) and figure out what exactly is going on with our country.

We need to stop pointing fingers and scream shame , shame and we need to find people that are working to disgrace Pakistan.

WHY IT IS IMPORTANT?
In my opinion the nation of Pakistan is systematically being pushed to genocide.
You must be laughing (Mehdni in particular) saying here we go another conspiracy theory…!

But reality is that Mehdi that in order to really exterminate (genocide) a nation one of the key requirement is dehumanizing them…
You find news about Pakistan in systematic pattern each day on world news media you will see a video or new clip about Pakistan that force world to say “Oh What a corrupt nation this is”

Or people saying “how barbaric animals they are”

From Nation harboring terrorist to most corrupt Prime Minister in the world to Army dictators and then people that have alleged terrorist among every ranks …

Pakistan has nothing but bad name unfortunate consequence of this came out as an extreme cold response to flood relief efforts despite United Nation repeated calls stating that “THIS IS MUCH BIGGER THEN TSUNAMI and 2 EARTHQUAKE Combined”

World did not move to help Pakistan (relatively to what they did on Tsunami)

BOTTOM LINE
There is some thing really ugly going on with Pakistan and the great minds of the country need to sit together and figure out how to save this nation..

If not then world will not feel any sympathy to the people who call themselves as roaches and want to be exterminated.

I dont have anything to say,you have said it all,other than please join the group on facebook BOYCOTT PAKISTAN CRICKET…….they should all be thrown out………

Agreed with Atif bro…. I mean is it necessary to do useless criticism… just give a lifetime ban and that’s it… no need to discuss over this matter again and again… its degrading the image of Pakistan to the rest of the world.

We learn here that when we think we can get away with small evils, we are actually heading into a bigger plot. Not just our cricket team but at an individual level as Pakistanis we need to check ourselves – what we are contributing to the country we live in. Why is it that when we are in America we don’t throw the trash out on the streets, yet as soon as the plane lands, we are out of the airport and littering. We contribute to the ugliness we are in as a nation.

And on the whole, AWAY WITH THE PCB. Bad managers, bad leaders, bad decision makers –
May Allah guide us all to the way of life that

There is no hope for Pakistan, please dismantle this country and start over again. From your issues with your neighbours, your internal fighting, 75% of your politicians carrying fake degrees, your daily bombings, the elite not caring for the poor, brain drain…. and the fundamentalists taking over. Pakistan as a country has no image abroad, we are losing every battle and shortly will lose the war. Better to break the country up into seperate smaller countries based on its proviences and see what happens, can’t be any worse then present situation. And no more lectures of Pakistan’s glory, it is the people that are bad, where is the progress? Pakistan seems to be going deeper and deeper into the darkness.

I was never ashamed to be Pakistani, until now

And Mr. Asif Iqbal,
what have you done to help the situation in pakistan, if i may ask? you paint a horrible picture – but when you’re not part of the solution- you are part of the….3 GUESSES! YES – the problem –
Also reread your comment – where you are not even willing to take the least bit of responsibility by saying: your this and your that. let me remind you if you feel ashamed as of now because of Pakistan – YOU are part of the all YOUR stated above. Think about it over a cup of doodphatti! Cheers!

Well my dear Immy,

It seems too easy for ‘Pakistani’s’ living and working in Pakistan to blame everyone else, blame the govt, blame America, blame India, blame the expats… But why dont you people who love Pakistan so much, show your love by cleaning up your streets, cleaning up your politics, hold govt accountable for resources exported, follow a better model as in South Korea, Singapore, Chile to name a few, why must you insist on taking on India as your rival? I have news for you, you will never be India’s rival…. its like North Korea trying to rival China, its absurd and delusional! The countries I have mentioned previously have all made exponential strides in past 40 years…. i mean 4 decades man, for all that is good and holy, why cannot Pakistan do the same? why? why? I ask you why? We have more natural resources then those countries combined, we have more man power then those countries combined, we have more brain capacity and expat money combined…. tell me why? I do not see any progress being made by its own people? god said, help yourself so i can help you…. where my dear Immy are ‘Pakistani’s’ helping themselves?

India is rivals for merely sentimental reasons. As far as the why is concerned – i can tell you why first hand- I have studied at an American institute in the US – all the Indians that were there got their masters degree and went back to serve their nation with that knowledge. They were passionate patriots who remembered their goal. Tell me how many Pakistanis do you know and especially doctors who have gone abroad, gotten degrees and sit on chats to say why can’t pakistanis do this and do that.

These people made a deliberate choice (and a selfish one i must say) of leaving behind not just the nations but also their family’s future in the hands of the not-so-fortunate uneducated ones by waltzing out of the country to serve mother foreign land and be slaves to a country that will never be theirs. We have more of everything – but we lack sincerity and that begins not at the bottom where there are the uneducated who are actually plowing land to make the export possible so Pakistan can actually enjoy the trade that goes and have the International chains of McDonalad, Dunkin Donuts etc and actually compete with the rest of the world. The Pakistanis actually want to help NONE ELSE BUT themselves and hence we face selfish and corrupt leaders, immoral sports team, dirty streets (who wants to pick up somebody else’s trash right?). it is hi time we all move out of our comfort zones and think for the country in sincerity and help others and ourselves in the process.

Sorry mate, I call rubbish! Progress starts from down up, not top down…. the rich will never save the poor, but the poor can save the rich from themselves. All revolutions start from the down and lowly, as your farmer friend…. just read your history and you will note the biggest changes brought upon a society is organic revolution from the bottom. Why should anyone help Pakistan, if Pakistan doesn’t help itself? Its easy to sit in America and preach, but Pakistani’s shouldn’t take it as an insult but more of a challenge…. i think you said it best already, and have made my point for me… Pakistani’s want to help themselves only… unless they change their attitude to ‘WE’ and not ‘ME’… only then can we all progress.

But I do agree there needs to be a re-balancing… the brain drain must return… Pakistani’s must return to Pakistan and make it the next Singapore / South Korea….

Yeah Pakistan cricket is really having bad days. Lets hope for betterment.
