I just read an article by By Irfan Husain Saturday, 05 Sep, 2009 in Dawn and i will put few lines for you to know what exactly he has written and how true he has analyzed it. Read it carefully to know what exactly he is trying to convey.
"Given this level of ignorance among well-known commentators, it is easy to see why so many Pakistanis have such a warped view of history and global politics. No attempt is made to analyse facts rationally, and try to see why states behave as they do. In our worldview, everybody is against us. And even when they are with us, they are acting in pure self-interest, and will ditch us after they have used us.
One powerful antidote to this fog of misconceptions and sheer ignorance is a good education. Unfortunately, state schools, colleges and universities in Pakistan have sunk so low that those educated in these institutions are not taught to think for themselves. Largely, they are brainwashed through a poisonous curriculum that repeats and amplifies wicked myths about the rest of the world.
This mutually reinforcing relationship between the media and the educational system has produced a population that is all too willing to accept the most absurd conspiracy theories. Young people are actively discouraged from asking questions. Garbled half-truths and downright lies are served up as history.
Often, the establishment creates and perpetuates distortions to cover up its own role in disasters. Thus, Bhutto is blamed by the army for both the 1965 and 1971 wars, conveniently forgetting that on both occasions, military dictators presided over our destiny.
Given these self-serving strands in our historical narrative, it is small wonder that millions of Pakistanis now inhabit a make-believe world, cut off from reality by a fog of confusion and deceit. Clashing conspiracy theories support a shaky edifice of jingoism and extremism. In this universe of smoke and shadows, nothing is as it seems.
As long as we do not face reality and see the world as it really is, we will not be able to rejoin the international community. Isolated from the rest of humanity, we will remain prisoners of the self-fulfilling myth that everybody is against us".
