 Primitively Human aka Monkey – The Animal That Pakistan is!

There’s no fun calling it a donkey as it is to call it a “Gadha”. There’s no fun calling it a Jackal as it is to call it a “Geedar” or maybe a “Kutta” and not an oh-so-sophisticated “dog”. Pakistan qualifies for a lot of wild animals viewing its day to day dynamics. To me the closest resemblance is that of a “Bandar” – a monkey it is!

hackneyed, imitative, and Primitive, Pakistan is one of its kind in being exclusively ordinary. No matter how much loaded with talent the country may be, we are bound to follow international systems, global cultures, foreign researches and unfamiliar stories.

If the world follows democratic system, we are bound to follow it blindly. Despite 80% population being illiterate, we have to put the future of the 180 million people, the prospect of 796,095 sq kms of land and the billions of dollars of reserves, in the hands of those who don’t have the power and sense to choose what’s best and what’s not, all in the name of “Coping up with International Systems” that’s what monkeys do, FOLLOW!

And it’s not just the democracy to dictatorship debate, coming down to knowledge. We IMPORT knowledge than produce it. Just like monkeys, adopting whatever we see in the outside world. There’s no effect of the Darwinian evolution on this lot of monkeys. they might have evolved physically but mentally they’re all still monkeys.

And come to talk of 60 years of development? Where’s the development? I don’t see a crap in the name of development. And even if there was some, its gone. It’s the perfect view of a hackneyed state. Just like monkeys, no matter how much evolution occurred, they remain themselves: an uncivilized lot of imitators.

And then there’s the roughness, the crudity in our culture, the coarseness in our behaviour and the no-so-royal attitude of our people. See something free, shoot at it, get someone beneficial,  annoy him seeking favours until he refutes any relationship with you. In whatever we do socially and however we manage to grab our rights, we make sure clumsiness shows through us. Just like monkeys, we are primitively uncultured.
