Salam and Duaien ...
History demands that it be visited frequently with the purpose ... TO LEARN.
It teaches, "IF YOU DON'T CHANGE ... I WON'T CHANGE EITHER".
A page of history ... Traumatic but Axiomatic ...
Kufa had fallen once more ... Musa'ab ibne Zubayer donned the Crown ... Chopped head of Mukhtar Saqfi was brought before him ... He commanded ... "CELEBRATE . . . . . . .".
The Crown observed an old man present in the court smiling ... "What makes you smile, old man?". I am diving in the Past, while the Present is right before me and I can spot one half of the Future, said the old man.
Elaborate, was the order by the ruler of the day. The old man rather pensively started:-
It was the same court, Ibne Ziyad was at your place. A chopped off head was brought in ... Seeing the head he had exclaimed, "CELEBRATE . . . . . . .".
Time passed, seat and durbar remained but the occupant changed. Mukhtar Saqfi whose head is lying in your feet was on the Throne. Chopped off head of Ibne Ziyad was placed in his feet and he ordered, "CELEBRATE . . . . . . .".
The venue is same, you are in while Mukhtar Saqfi's head is in your feet and you have pronounced sponteaneously, "CELEBRATE . . . . . . .".
As for one half of the Future, I can see that court would be the same, CHOPPED OFF HEAD BE, YOURS ... I don't know who would be wearing the Crown but his command will be, "CELEBRATE . . . . . . .".
Stage and the Emporium are the constants ... Characters change ... The Command always is, "CELEBRATE . . . . .".
We as a Nation have celebrated throughout our history ... the count is difficult but let us visit few:-
Quaid's dead body was stranded for six hour on a dusty road.
Liaquat was killed in the Garden now named after him.
Objective Resolution aside, we couldn't enact a WAY ILLUMINATOR for nine years.
We changed CEs on fortnightly and daily basis ... and ... CELEBRATED.
A paralysed man caused paralysis to the system and would have died in chair except for Miss Ruth.
Doctrine of necessity and Wink Obserrvant Judiciary.
Mutiple times extensions got us the only FM and ML and then we abused him out.
We lost half of Pakistan.
Some body kissed the gallows, because he couldn't bring in the change he had promised to.
Another ML, Religion was used as a Mean to secure the desired End and perpetual Glory. Neither was achieved, instead VICIOUSNESS was SOWN and the NATION is REAPING the Harvest since then. End Result ... A new version of politics, Laxmi Devi loving politicians, unsolved Tragedy, Heroin, Klashnikov and Terror.
Musical Chairs, No Holds Barred Corruption, Electability Syndrome, Family Inc Political Industry, Steep descent into the abyss ... In between a quasi ML ... The door revolved again ... Downward slide continues ... No Parachutes and No Brakes ...
We just celebrate every occasion and start waiting to celebrate again ... alas ... WE MUST LEARN OUR LESSONS TOO.
Else History shall keep repeating itself ... because ...
خدا نے آج تک اُس قوم کی حالت نہیں بدلی ۔ ۔ ۔ ۔
