This land is about to produce gold… This very land, which is a masterpiece of nature on the world map. The snow of the mountains, the water of the rivers, fertile fields, the blue sea, And in the midst of all this, a nation — which is both hardworking and talented.
Then The Question is:
When we have everything… Why no development? Why is there poverty? Why is there despair?
And why have we not been able to free ourselves from the feeling of slavery till today?
We will explain this topic in 8 parts
Part 1: Ocean of Resources — But Zero Utilization
Nature has given Pakistan countless treasures. But those treasures are still buried in the ground — because intentions have been buried. We have “Hydropower potential 60,000 megawatts”, But we are only using “10,635 MW”. We are among the world’s “Top 10 water-scarce countries”, and waste almost “30%” of our available water due to outdated systems. Agriculture is our pride — it constitutes 23% of GDP — but farmers still rely on bullocks and old tools. Thar’s coal reserves are 175 billion tons — which can generate “100,000 MW” of electricity for “200 years” — but there is darkness in our homes.
Why are we silent after knowing all this?
These Resources Are Not Silent — We Are Silent.
Part 2: Energy Crisis — The Business of Darkness
The world is moving towards renewable energy, and we are still mired in a circular debt of Rs. 260 billion. We do not build dams, because the commission is not there. We do not provide cheap electricity, because the profits of the powerful are reduced. There is scope to buy cheap oil and gas from Iran, but not permission. We have all the land, wind, sun— but the people are left in darkness. This country is deprived not of electricity, but of policy.
Part 3: Agriculture—That which keeps us alive
A farmer sweats from morning to evening. He irrigates the land, but he himself goes to bed hungry. The world has reached smart irrigation systems and drone farming, but we still stand in drains to manually release water. The same farmer who is our food backbone, is crushed in the clutches of debts, inflation, and middlemen. This system does not keep the farmer alive, but keeps hunger alive.
Part 4: Education—A system afraid of knowledge
They could have provided better education, but did not. Because an educated nation asks questions,
and a nation that asks questions never remains a slave. Pakistan’s literacy rate is still 58%, while Bangladesh has reached 76%. This system does not impart knowledge, it teaches obedience. It does not awaken consciousness, it spreads silence. And when the nation stops thinking — then the rulers become kings.
Part 5: Law, Justice and Fear
This is a country where justice is rare. Where millions of cases have been hanging in the courts for years. Where the law of the rich is different, and only patience for the poor. Here crime is not caught — Here the “weak” is caught. This system does not protect the people, but rather strengthens the walls of the powerful.

Part 6: Corruption — The Canker That Has Taken Root
Pakistan is ranked 133rd out of 180 countries in the world’s corruption index. These are not statistics, they are shame.
These are “THEY” who made promises,
but sold intentions. Who took loans in the name of development, and filled their accounts. They do not rob the country’s coffers, They rob the dreams of the people. And the most dangerous theft is that — When hope is stolen.
Part 7: The new face of slavery
Today, it is not chains, but the system that makes slaves. When you work harder, They impose higher taxes. When you try to improve your life, They drop the hammer of inflation. This slavery is no longer of the body — Of the mind. This chain is no longer of iron — Of the system. And we are all… In this captivity.
Part 8: Awakening — The moment that can change everything
But remember — This story is not over. There is still time, for us to open our eyes, and recognize that the enemy is not outside — the enemy is the thought that keeps us silent.
We are not slaves of politics, we are soldiers of consciousness. If we think as a nation — then this land will rise once again. Water will flow, electricity will be turned on, and farmers, laborers, students — all will get their rights back.
Remember — Nations are not built by wealth, but by “AWARENESS.” And when consciousness awakens, even Pharaoh trembles. Wake up… Now silence is a crime. Now accepting slavery is a sin. Now speaking is a duty. This homeland is yours — its fate will change with your pen, your tongue, and your conscience. Because now we are no longer the nation that dreams — Now we are the nation that will fulfill dreams. The famous poet Aadam once said about such a nation that In this wonder of the world of creation, O Aadam Who was as silent as he was aware. And Zafar Ali Khan had said a century ago in the context of the establishment of Pakistan, God has not changed the condition of this nation till today Not even the one who thought of changing his own condition.

Then the Quran has also sealed it in its words by saying this
In the verse of Surah Ar-Ra’d of the Holy Quran, Allah informs us:
Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves
“Indeed, Allah does not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.” — Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:11
This verse reminds us that change begins with oneself. Now silence is a crime, now hard work is a duty, now consciousness and awareness are essential.
