آسان لفظوں میں:


جدید قومی ریاست اور فریج  


جدید دور کے ٹیکنالوجکل ڈٹرنزم (technological determinism) میں فریج کی اہمیت پر غور و فکر کیا جائے تو کچھ عجب نا ہوگا۔ یہفریج ایک گھر کی معیشت، معاشرت اور سیاست تینوں جہتوں میں  ایک موثر کردار ادا کرتا ہے۔ ( یقین نا آئے تو محلے کی باجی سےرجوع کریں)

کچن میں رکھا جائے تو اپنی مدد آپ اسکیم، ڈرائینگ روم یاکامن روم میں رکھ دیا جائے تو جاسوسی مہم، سونے والے کمروں کیراہدری میں تو  معاشی مفاہمت اور بیٹے،بہو کے کمر ے کے اندر تو صریح جنگی چال۔ 

خاندان کے پارلیمان میں فریج کے اس کردار کو جس نے سمجھ لیا تو گویا فوکو (foccault) کے مائی باپ نطشے (Nietzsch)اور فرائڈ(freud)کی انتشار پسند تنظیم کو سمجھ لیا۔ 

یہاں پر فریج ساسو ماں کے اقتدارِ اعلی (sovergnity) کا نشان ہے۔ جنگی چال مثالی اقتدار کی عدم موجودگی( absence of the ideal sovergein) کی دلیل اور معاشی مفاہمت اختیار کی سیال منتقلی  (non linear transfer of power) کا ثبوت۔ 


پاکستانی پارلیمان اور خاندانی پارلیمان میں زیادہ فرق نہیں ہوتا۔ اللہ سبحان و تعالی کی ذات کو دونوں جگہ اقتدار اعلی تسلیم کرکے  بھُلا دیا جاتا ہے ۔ میڈیا ڈھول والے کی طرح ڈھول پیٹ کر پیسے لینے آجاتا ہے اور قوم مولوی صاحب کے اندھے، بہرے اورگونگے بندروں کی طرح پٹی باندھ کر گہری نیند سو جاتی ہے ۔


آخر میں اس سارے ڈھونگ کو جمہوریت کا قصور گردان کر بوٹ والی سرکار سب کو لائن سے کھڑا کر کے قومی ترانہ پڑھوا دیتیہے۔ 


اس تمام تماشے کے دورانصداقت، دیانت، امانت اور شجاعت جیسے آثارِ قدیمہ کو فریج کے اوپر والے فیریزر میں ذخیرہ کردیا جاتاہے تاکہ تھوڑا تھوڑا کرکے استعمال کیا جائے مگر افسوس کہ مرمت والے امپورٹڈ مستری یہ ذخیرہ اپنے ملک ایکسپورٹ کردیتے ہیںاور پھر ساری دنیا میں جاکر پاکستانی جمہوریت کی کنگالی کا ڈھول پیٹتے ہیں۔ 


اس تمام تجزیے سے یہ نتیجہ اخذ کرنا بالکل بے کار نا ہوگا کہ فریج نے جدید قومی ریاست کے استحکام میں اہم کردار ادا کیا ہے۔

ON RESPONSIBILITY!

The seemingly inconsequential fly buzzed around incessantly from one nose to another. Some were totally oblivious to its existence, Some bore its buzzing with a somewhat irritated expression while others shooed it away with a wave of their hand. Eventually,  it dived into a teacup. All hell broke loose. “Who let the fly in?”, “What a mess”, “Such a crappy building”, “Who left the window open?” “Who opened the window?”, “Why can’t you put a lid on your cup?”, “Why don’t we have fly screens for these doors and windows?”, “Why don’t we have a fly repellent?” A guy sitting on the far end folded his magazine and squatted the fly as soon as it landed on his desktop. That was ‘The End’ for the fly. (inspired from a real-life scene) We can roughly categorise the two kinds of behaviours/personalities described in the scenario above as ‘reactive’ and ‘proactive’. Out of these two our people fall into the ‘reactive’ category. A nation of reactive individuals who are not willing to...

The truth unveiled!

VALENTINE’S DAY The truth unveiled 'Every deen has an innate character. The character of Islam is modesty.' Al Muwatta 47.9 HOW IT STARTED: Like most Christian festivals, the origin of Valentine’s Day also lies in the pagan Rome. In ancient Rome young men and women used to celebrate this festival where the women would write love letters and throw them in a huge pot. Then the men would choose their partners through lottery and would court (relationship before marriage) the girl whose letter came in their hands. (Webster’s family encyclopedia). According to the encyclopedia this festival has no direct or indirect link to the life of Saint Valentine (269 A.D). To make Christianity more popular and acceptable among the pagan masses, the Christian clergy added this festival to Christianity by celebrating this day as Saint Valentine’s Day. The myths regarding Saint Valentine giving his life for the sake of love and others are all false. WHERE DO WE ST...
