PAKISTAN V/S FRENCH REVOLUTION ! ! ?
It is an old say “Talk less than the knowest and owe less than the owest”. Sometimes I think that why our “Ever available Analysts are bent upon to prove themselves as “Philosophers” or “Think Tanks? Admittedly, our TV anchors always works as “combustible element” enflaming and provoking ever available “innocent thinker” to comment in their “Talk Shows” to complete their 3 chairs set up , an attempt to make it popular ignoring all values and impacts upon public ! !Now a days these learned anchors/ analysts are refering “French Revolution”, Forgetting the public “literacy percentage” who know about “French Revolution”? DO OUR ELECTED MEMBERS” knows the route causes of this revolution? I am of the opinion that &70 % of elected members can not even spell “REVOLUTION”, what to talk about asking details! !
I wonder why these analysts / anchors are focusing / discussing subject which is beyond understanding of general public. Do they know literacy rate in Pakistan? Whether the situations of France and Pakistan are same? How many people know the meanings of “ANARCHY”?I would like to re-explain : ANARCHY IS :- a state of society without government or law. 2. Political and social disorder due to the absence of governmental control- Which anarchy these people are talking for ?
Just go through news of print /electronic media .Armed Robberies, Theft, Car lifting / snatching , target killing, bomb blasts, Ransomed incidents, kidnapping, Terrorist activities, Hoarding , Fake medicine , Uncontrollable everyday hike in food items ! ! The “never ever precedent, funny statements of ministers “! ! What public is getting pure form except “BULLET AND AMMUNITION” OR DEATH BY SUICIDES??
Which ANARCHY they are discussing?? Do they hold opinion that anarchy is “To enter in others houses for looting and by killing? If that is anarchy then WHAT IS “CIVIL WAR”?? INFACT all are bent upon with a conclusive decision to keep public engage while making fool. If someone embezzled billion in “COMISSION” what public can do? If a great fraud in HAJJ what we can do ? If Politicians “Sugar Mills” are not crushing what we public can do? What 18th amendment, “Messak a Jumhoriat” will give public?
How funny it is that this Pakistan is owned as a “STATE” OF FEW FAMILIES ! ! Just look from 1947, leaving a few , The heads are , FATHER , SON , THEIR SON , DAUGHTERS , OR CERTAIN OTHER IN LAWS, Means these permanent teams are always in ground to catch balls to rule , say attempting to win match. This is only the blessed country in world where MULTIBILLIONERS REPRESENTS THE PEOPLE LIVING BELOW POVERTY LINE! ! Where SARDARS AND “STATES HOLDERS” REPRESENT POOR ILLETRATE FARMERS. WHERE INDUSTIALISTS REPRESENTS LABOR CLASS .It may be only the country which is NEVER RULED OR GOVERNRD BY MEDIOCORE OR POOR.A few families have their “INHERITANCE”. Workers are “TO RAISE SLOGANS” OR TURN INTO PIECES IN CASE OF BOMB BLAST! Any record, example where ordinary worker ever touched a higher post in his party? ? No, never ever! Even then we are shouting and claiming to be DEMOCRATIC country! !If political parties does not apply democracy in their office , how funny is claiming democracy in country ! !
Keeping in view the critical situation of Pakistan where: Exorbitant, rather killing hike in prices of Diesel, Petrol, and Electricity. No control upon any department or law and order. No check and balance in any arena. These are main agonies and none cares for that. Even then public is happy and silent ! Just admire patience of this nation! ! Let heaven fall , this nation will dance on drum beats right after any “bye election”!
I would like to inform all — Pakistan will never face or undergo any revolution. This example will clear my concept. Exactly we are undergoing same process used in ‘ELEPHANT HUNTING”? A deep ditch , covered (camoflaudge)with tree branches – The elephant falls in — Try to come out but fails repeatedly due to volume and weight — Then kept hungry for some days – He gets himself injured in attempt to release – When becomes too feeble to walk , then hunter brings him out in a critical condition —-
My learned friends – We are in critical condition – we have no power to raise voice ( what to talk about protest).Revolutions are subjected and conditional with “energy” and we are too feeble. Everyone under apathetic condition. We don’t want to know what government is doing ? What is 18th amendment? What is foreign policy ? We are least interested in Drone Attacks? We don’t know why DRONES are bombing and killing Pakistanis! ! We are least interested in “Branded Suits / Ties of leaders (With blushed faces) ! We don’t want to know who made how many Mills / Factories ?
BECAUSE I HAVE OTHER IMMEDIATE PRIORTIES: How I will pay rent of my house? How I will manage milk for my child ? Where I can find cheap sugar? By which source I shall be able to pay electricity bill which is four figures while using only a fan , 2 energy saver and a small fridge ! ! Whether I will be back safely from work? Incase my child is sick, which nearest hospital will provide cheap medical care ! !
I feel I am that elephant who is in ditch , injured , hungry , captured “UNDER PRE-PLANED FABRICATED CIRCUMSTANCES”.DO YOU EXPECT ANY REVOLUTION ? ? I expect only “A WAR FOR FOOD” which may cause in reduction of population leaving more opportunities for investors and industrialists providing them more land , more space to start projects. ! ! So believer , our destiny is “Patience” AGAR DURD HUD SE BURH JAYE TOO TRAINS , PESTICIDES , CANALS , RIVERS HUMAIN HUMEHSA AGHOOSH ME LAINY KE LIYE TIYYAR HAIN …….(Na to zamin ke liye hy na asman ke liye – Tera wajood hy sirf ek dastan ke liye).

A PORTRAY FRENCH REVOLUTION!(adapted)
The nobles and clergy enjoyed special privileges. They did not have to pay taxes. The common people did not have power and freedom in politics. They worked hard and had to pay heavy taxes. The nobles and clergy made up the First and Second Estates in the Estates General. The common people (i.e. the middle class (bourgeoisie), peasants and artisans) made up the Third Estate. The nobles and clergy could outvote the common people easily though the Estates General was always not called by the king, who ruled as an absolute monarch. The common people became discontented with the privileged classes.
Bankruptcy of the Government
Louis XIV had spent too much. His successors did not cut down expenses. Louis XVI also failed to improve the financial situation. He dismissed ministers who tried to introduce financial reforms. By 1789, the government was bankrupt.
Influence of the Enlightenment and the American Revolution
The ideas and writings of Enlightenment thinkers like Montesquieu, Voltaire, and Rousseau became widespread. The French people were inspired to go against their king.
The success of the Americans to overthrow British rule encouraged the French to fight for their freedom.
Outbreak of revolution 1789
When Louis XVI finally called the Estates General to solve financial difficulties, the Third Estate did not agree with the unfair system of the Estates General. They formed the National Assembly to make a constitution. People were afraid that the king would suppress the National Assembly. They were also discontented that the king dismissed Necker, the popular Finance Minister. The hungry Parisians, who suffered from bad harvest, burst out their anger by attacking the Bastille prison (for political prisoners). The Fall of Bastille started the French Revolution. It spread out to other parts of France.
