A Pakistan Army soldier out on patrol To enjoy power is human. Political leaders enjoy power while fooling the public enough to get them to vote for them; a cleric enjoys this power while issuing fatwas; a jirga-head enjoys this power while awarding punishment to a criminal according to his law; a police inspector enjoys this power as he orders riot police to engage protesters; a teenager enjoys this power while driving his car at 160 kilometres per hour while a poor labourer enjoys this power as he beats his wife.
As a researcher I conduct field surveys across Pakistan and recommend policies to decision makers for better development outcomes. Over the years I have realised the tremendous potential in our nation. Our people are patriotic, informed, tough, and have a good-heart. The only limitation I found is that everybody wants heaven but nobody wants to die, in other words, everybody wants to be a general but nobody wants to be a sipahi. We are a tough nation.
