Corona: the issue of class survivor in Indian Subcontinent!

“We must fight Corona being a Pakistani nation”

“We will make new story in new era being Indians”.

The popular words in Pakistan & viral song sung by Indian doctors fighting against corona, respectively appeared as symbol of ‘patriotism’ of the middle classes of neighboring but rival countries during pandemic.

Pakistani Prime Minister as usual expressed his commitment to fight against Corona in his 3 continual speeches to nation within fortnight differing with lock-down announced by provincial governments but begging funds for relief of which preparation is yet to be done. While Indian P.M Narindera Moodi announced countrywide lockdown claiming necessary to save India and every citizen of India.

Indian media broadcasted strict actions of police against violators but failed to broadcast the story of a poor man in Bengal beaten to death by police when came out to purchase milk. Despite no written order from the high command, the police is familiar with the state policy that it is better to kill poor than to render the middle & upper classes unsafe. In Pakistan the technocrats are worry of spreading corona through street children picking up papers etc from garbage ignoring the factual position on record spreading of corona virus through clean nobles, religious and liberal persons came from abroad specially from KSA,UAE, Iran & Europe.

The governments in both of the countries implemented no policy in respect of arrangement of transport, food & night stay for the workers who had to leave the locked down cities. In India within 24 hours of strict implementations at least two dozens of workers died, out of thousand others, on way to their native towns from Delhi on foot. The last words communicated by one of them namely Ranveer Singh to his family superseded all the other viral communications in respect of corona:

“Lene Aa sakte Ho to Aajao”

(If you can take me, Come”)

Similarly from Karachi poor people arranged their journeys to native towns through full packed last trains, in trucks & containers hiding themselves in luggage, patrol and cattle casting their lives in danger.

Such initial incidents overruled the arguments advanced by the liberals & liberals’ affected left renouncing any kind of criticism upon authorities but to fight against corona. Spreading hunger, empty pockets, closure of government hospitals and failure on behalf of the government in providing basic necessities of life to the downtrodden masses is sufficiently exposing the government policy to save the riches & middle class quiet different from the way they allegedly are ‘saving’ the poor citizens. Such discriminatory polices rendered the proofs of citizenships i.e. ration card, national identity card, passport or any other official documents insufficient to treat one as a citizen in all fields of any country likewise India or Pakistan. Holding immoveable and moveable properties are basic requirements of a practical citizenship. Safety of life is subject to possess something in addition to one’s power of labour. You should be in condition to watch Ramayan or Zakir Nayak on TV during lockdown. The homeless people are advised to remain in homes. Pertinent to mention an old Indian commercial wherein the telephone department conditioned the identity of any person subject to installation of landline phone: possible in case of holding an immoveable property. The working masses are recognizing well, due to Corona crisis, that they are not the part of decision making forces and also that the Lockdowns do not mean to save all countrymen but the privileged classes who are equal target of deadly virus therefore the working masses in whole of their lives never faced any lockdown in the so-called normal times when viruses of hunger, starvation & poverty had been killing large numbers of people for years. In Rajhistan state of India hundreds of peasants reportedly committed individually & group/family suicides due to failure in reimbursement of banks’ loan in view of strict polices of Transnational Corporate dealing with agricultural sector. No medical doctor sung any song for new India free from such suicides & miserable conditions of the poor people especially when examining the bodies of deceased persons. Similarly in Pakistan thousands have been dying since 2013 in Thar (a desert area) whereas only in 10 months of 2018 deaths of more than 500 children were officially reported, lest the other who died in far flung areas. The Pakistani Elite & Middle Classes never paid any attention towards mass killings of people of Thar rather they were happy with their (so-called) heroes who while investing billions of rupees in & starting project to generate electricity from Thar coal did never bother to install tube wells in drought affected areas of Thar. The religious clergies awarding titles of martyrdoms to the victims of corona remained silent in respect of thousands died due to starvation & drought in Thar. But neither the suicides were bound of borders nor does the hunger & starvation confine to Thar. In other areas of Pakistan dozens commit suicides due to hunger & unemployment every year whereas the last one was reported in Karachi on 29^th March 2020 of a young man namely Sarfaraz leaving behind him 2 minor daughters (& a fetus in his wife’s womb) due to lack of amount to be spent upon his sickness along with apprehension of corona. In 2012 leading newspaper The Dawn reported suicide appearing as only solution of elimination of poverty in Pakistan. In Balochistan dozens mines workers die in accidents every month but no government ever tried to implement the mandatory safety laws in view of the gratifications of Millions of dollars every year from the contractors and mines’ owners. The working class of industrial Hub of Pakistan does not forget dual & hypocritical state stance especially of the Supreme Court of Pakistan of taking suo moto action upon murder of Shahzaib belonging to a wealthy middle class family but ignoring the killings of hundreds in Baldia Textile factory in Karachi wherein the owner & management of the factory locked the gates in order to save the production from alleged theft confining and leaving hundreds of burning workers including majority of the young girls at the mercy of flames. Similar steps also were taken by the factory owners in Bangladesh for years which prove the kinship of the capitalists based not upon blood or nationality but upon class interests. Despite lapse of eight years the responsible of closing the gates are free from clutches of law. The incidents of rape & outraging of modesty of female tenants in Pakistani rural areas are routine those (upon which even law enforcing agencies do not bother to take actions) but the unchecked rapid growth of sexual child abuse, especially in KPK & Punjab illustrates the priorities of the governments. Increasing deaths of the poor people in government hospitals even due to mild illnesses are evident of collapse of health sector. Wards of the hospitals are more rubbish than the toilet of any house. Most of the senior medical doctors who are receiving guards of honours nowadays, before corona outbreak forced the patients for treatment in their private hospitals & clinics instead of government those from where they draw their salaries. The offer of checkup & treatment in private clinics etc is not only for private fee but is result of offers by the TNCs of handsome commission subject to their prescriptions advising excess of medicines irrespective of side & after effects of irrelevant & unnecessary medicines upon stomach, liver & kidneys of the patient. In view of such social trends and traditions one must not be astonished finding traders, pharmaceutics & shopkeepers in black-marketing and undue increase in prices of life necessity items. While showing its helplessness, the government of Pakistan is completely silent to share the detail of expenditures of the redirected $ 40 Million (PKR 6.8 Billion) (obtained from World Bank) to be utilized against Corona. No one knows about the Hundreds of Billions of Rupees allegedly recovered from different politicians lying in the ostensible (benami) bank accounts. After donation in gift an amount of Rs. 50 Million to the private cyber team of ruling party from government exchequer the act of describing the miserable conditions of the poor masses by Pakistani PM is contemptuous one making fun of their poverty.

The worse circumstances and miserable conditions of poor masses of the Sub-continent, for whom virus may become deadly, remind us the declaiming of Karl Marx in 1848 that the workers have no country.

But the outbreak of Pandemic is going to disclose actual category of MC in the world of Transnational Corporate. Whereas the states affairs cannot contradict with the larger interests of these corporate hence the odds of contradictions between government authorities and MC consists of government employees, officers, private enterprises, technicians, medical officers, small businessmen cannot be ruled out. Pro-corporate policies of Pakistani PM, which accelerated corona outbreak and collapse of health sector, and criminal failure of screening at entry points at airport & border, have quarantined him politically. The announcement of so-called Tiger Force is considered as lack of trust upon the country’s security forces and army deployment of which already had been requested by the provincial governments.

The former Pakistani Federal Minister Atta-Ur-Rehman warned of higher infected rates than the figures announced by the federal government. Constant hesitation in declaring lockdown, which already had been announced through issuance of notifications in suspicious way, will sharpen the conflicts among privileged classes in Pakistan. The deaths of high profiles persons in Spain & Iran as well as suicide of German Finance Minister created panic in different rows of upper & middle classes. Those who spent large portions of their lives, devoted their educational qualifications, capabilities & carriers serving the interests of companies, corporate and of bureaucracy now are worry on the issue of numbers of ventilators in country. But tragedy is this that they have no history of resistance when always ignored & condemned every kind of resistance & voice against hunger, starvation, poverty & social injustice hence their agitation shall be confined to the social media. They are also afraid of each other such as in Pakistan they are still at odd with each on sectarian basis whereas in response of Sunni MC Censure against Shia visitors, the Shia MC reminds the former figures of carriers of infection returned from Umrah or Dubai: despite being knowing aware that neither any Ayatullah nor any Khadim Haram Sharif could send any medical or food aid to them. The Arab Sheikhs who in every winter hunted the innocent Siberian birds in Rahimyar Khan, Kharan and Killa Saifullah did not bother to inquire the conditions of their Pakistani hosts in corona crisis. It seems the foreign Masters are aware of the fate of many sections of Middle & upper classes in coming years.

Nevertheless the ruling elite and authorities may endure to do more for the class remained their crutch for decades by restraining the downtrodden masses from uprising against the former through exploiting the religions, national spirit, ethics, culture and traditions. But the rotten & decayed social and financial structure is unable to save the skins of the middle class from the severe attacks of corona. The so-called systems which remained fail to provide clean drinking water to the people in past seven decades can never face the sudden attacks of the pandemic. The banks are running empty of cash. There is complete shortage of life saving drugs & food in markets. The governments expressed their failure and incapability while begging for food and medical items when they never begged for purchasing of tanks & fighter jets. In the wake of coming downsizing of white collar employments the reimbursement issues of credit may lead to many of them in conditions worse than the daily wagers. Decline in the prices of immovable properties, which already halted before outbreak, will make the lives of survivors dreadful more than death. The advice of restoration of relations during lock-down would become futile in coming economic crisis in the wake of corona along with realization upon certain politicians that the TNCs were better aware of the status of tissue paper after being used.

Centenaries do not spark REVOLUTION

The “specter of Communism is haunting” the world; frightening ruling classes, businessmen, corporatists, capitalists, liberals, conservatives, religious, atheists and petty bourgeoisie leftists who for hundred years did their best to let the people to ignore Bolshevik Revolution 1917, as ignorance is one of the biggest weapons in the hands of World Capitalism, but were unable to expel the year of 2017 from Calendar. Hence having no other option they turned their guns loaded with allegations, slanders, slangs, abuses & taunts against the Bolsheviks, October Revolution and Lenin casting liability of ruining Russia.

Now it is a modern fashion, sacred religious devotion, national responsibility and moral duty of Bourgeoisie to not to leave a single stone throwing against the Bolsheviks.

While in Russia, the battlefield of the Bolshevik Revolution, the new-fangled Russian Elite Class seems more frightened than others in the world. Since long, the so-called Victory Parade in Moscow on 7^th of November, of every year being conducted in order to avoid and ignore the anniversaries of Bolshevik Revolution.

This extreme flow of criticism is evident of living Bolshevik ideology, a threat to prevailing world capitalism, despite lapse of more than two decades of the disintegration of USSR.

Neither those who have zest to struggle to make their careers nor those who made their ‘marvelous’ careers without any work could even imagine the greatness of Bolsheviks who were the people having ideology to make a new society instead of making their careers.

The accusers of most common and fashionable allegations, of premature revolution in backward country, casting liability of deaths & famines upon Lenin and of bypassing the evolutionary process always show their anger upon cross examination in the light of many issues including the following questions:

1. What was the alternate of Bolshevik revolution in early 20 century when Russian people along with Europe people were suffering from destructions of WWI especially the miseries of hunger, deaths and collapse of infrastructure?
2. Why the provisional government kept the war on and whose war was that?

• Why the aggression of the foreign countries is ignored when discussing 1917?

1. Whether Bolshevik Ideology or Historic Revolution should be condemned only for the reason that power, later on, fell in the hands of alleged autocrats?
2. Why the masterpiece of Lenin is blacked out in 2017?

The pages of Russian history from 1855 to 1917 reveals the trends of resistance against tyranny in Russian society since the abolition of serfdom (slavery of peasants) by Alexander II through Emancipation Reforms, which the ruling elite had to abolish as they were well aware by saying “it is better to liberate the peasants from above than to wait until they won their freedom by risings from below”.

But in 1917 the situation was different. The whole system, including the Russian State and the Bourgeoisie government, was incapable to formulate & implement any program to resolve the issues of mounting errors and destructions. Practically Russian State had collapsed prior to February Revolution while the Millions of helpless army soldiers, being recruited forcibly, fighting on front, without basic needs could meet with two options: either to face death or to plunder villages & cities of their own country. Russia was rapidly going towards anarchy while Russian Bourgeoisies had no interest with Russian people, irrespective of their classes as had been elaborated by American journalist John Reed when Russian businessmen and factory owners were hopeful for advancement of Germans to compress Bolsheviks led working masses. The tragedies were knocking the doors of every class except those who were earning profit from war.

In such situation & circumstances there was no option but forceful intervention in State affairs by toppling the incapable government and replacing the state machinery with the Soviets of Workers, Peasants & Soldiers deputies already in power in the streets, factories and in villages. The same task could be achieved only by Bolsheviks who, in Russia, were only force raising slogan to convert the imperialist war into a civil war on the basis of class conflicts.

The study of question of Marxist stance towards World War I is essential to realize the historical necessity of Bolshevik Revolution. On the centenary of WWI in 2014 the causes & character of WWI was deliberately discounted: even no communist party all over the world highlighted the stance of Rosa & Lenin in 2^nd Communist International. Most important question should have been fixed in 2014 that why the large numbers of humans were compelled to fight for the vested interests of certain companies.

Lest the bourgeoisie, the renowned leftists and intellectuals opposed the destination of Bolsheviks including the Great Russian Marxist Philosopher Plekhanove, study of whose writings, Lenin termed mandatory for every communist. Similarly German based Marxist Rosa Luxemburg, called as Eagle of Revolution by Lenin, could not realize some things at the very time of revolutionary epoch and opposed Bolsheviks strikes. The seizure of power in October was not coup e data but completion of the working masses’ revolt of February 1917.

But the so-called communists of present time and other left wing ‘sectarian believers’, cannot utilize these personalities to cover their bias against Bolshevik revolution. Their bias is due to their cowardly tasks & positions to become leader by utilizing the workers by raising the slogans of revolution loudly. But in practice they are found cowardice to listen to the sounds of footsteps of a revolution. Such left-wing intellectuals use to astonish the working class people of their intellectuality likewise a religious priest or magician. But when revolution starts to knock the doors of the society, they find themselves frightened from transformation of intellects, power & leadership in the hands of the masses. So at the very time of practice such communists betray the working masses. Lenin rightly called them “impotent”.

According to Historical Materialism there could be no evolutionary change without revolution. This is not merely a dogmatic lesson from books of Marx & Engle but history proved the same time & again. India is the biggest example of evolutionary process where still caste system forces schedule castes to live like animals while she was Soviet Union who sent a dog to space. The sense of being secured in Soviet era could never be imagined by European people. The countries of Middle East have ancient civilizations and cultures where still liver of a dead enemy is eaten by rival. The civilization of USA based upon two hundred years of civil war but there prevails rising religious extremism, racial hatred and national biasness. Majority of the middle class in Subcontinent is turning to the religious delusions. Involvement of Russian government in supporting Orthodox Church in the era of genetics & cloning raises many questions. Recent warnings of renowned scientist Stephen Hawking regarding AI and destruction of the world clearly endorsed Engels’ definition of capitalism a “system of anarchy”.

Whereas the question of subsequent events after the establishment of USSR we again go through the history from 1917 to 1924.

After October Revolution, Vladimir Lenin halted the new membership of the party in order to keep the dishonest opportunists at arm’s length. In his various writings and speeches he denounced the possible bureaucratic structure in government and in party. Lenin stressed to force the members of old bureaucracy to work under sharp watch & supervision of Proletariat Dictatorship.

It was the time when Bolsheviks were defending their revolution from the attacks and conspiracies of internal counter revolutionary forces, bourgeoisie as well as from foreign invasions of more than dozens of countries. They fought, sacrificed their precious lives and won not only for Russian revolution but for World revolutionary movements.

So how could one condemn them? If they are condemnable for alleged subsequent events then condemn Einstein for nuclear bomb on Hiroshima & Nagasaki. Condemn George Stephen for world wars and environmental issues.

Bolsheviks are condemned because they exposed the capitalism in practice. Bolshevik government was the first and perhaps last in the modern world history who abolished the secret diplomacy publishing all the secret & unannounced government documents and agreements to public. Who could have dared such when in power!

Russian Federation is not celebrating the centenary of Great October Revolution unlike France who in 1989 celebrated the 2^nd centenary of French Revolution. Many of us are unable to celebrate the centenary due to situation & circumstances imposed by the Corporates and governments. But it is fact that centenaries do not spark revolutions.  Revolutions are not festivals of Petty bourgeoisie to be conducted on specific dates.

The fate of World Proletariat Revolution depends upon the question whether capitalism has escaped from crisis or not. In presence of miserable lives all around the world, economical crisis, wars, hunger, political instabilities and division of world in states comprising of armed forces only an ignorant or stupid may claim the capitalism free from crisis.

Nevertheless, the core point for success of any proletariat revolution is constant work of working class’ organized party armed with Marxist ideology in the light of heroic struggle of Bolsheviks in 1917.

They were not ordinary people. They were those who stormed the Heaven.

Real Heroine of Life

International Bourgeoisie Media placed the news of martyrdom of Asia Ramzan Antar, a Kurd Freedom Fighter in headlines starting a new discussion which sounds as if solidarity with Kurd fighters but analysing in depth one could find the matters contrary and all the exciting statements & commentaries hollows when solid would remain only commercialism.

What was/is being highlighted by western media was the feminine beauty of Kurd fighters including Asia for which she was called poster girl and Kurdish Angelina Jolie ignoring her courageousness, warrior’s strategies and ability to work in any field of life. Such stance confirms the male chauvinist approach of western capitalism that is not able to recognize the egalitarianism between men & women in practice. For capitalism a women outside her home is adjustable only in commercial advertisement. In the last days of Soviet Union the western media had charm in news of increase of interests in household works of the women in former Soviet Union. Until now the logic of monetary capitalism deem Ceylan Ozalp, Asia or Rehana as flimsy beings.

Asia belonged to Yekineyen Parastina Jin (YPJ) meaning by Women’s Defence Units the most influence militant women’s Brigades fighting in the Kurd areas against ISIS from Iraq to Turkey. YPJ not only defended their home towns but also ousted those pampers of US Pantagon, Turkish dictator Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Arab Emperors.

YPJ having an ideology and programme of equality between male & female opposes the patriarchy. Likewise Asia, the members of the organization always supports the equal liabilities and rights of men & women in the all spheres of life from home to warrior, social, political & economical those. Quote as affiliated to Asia stresses upon women not to copy the men when having their own cleverness. The approach of YPJ stands close to Marxism as later is the first ideology criticising bourgeoisie’s approach towards women as productive or market item. Marxism emphasises the social character of women being stood upon social labour of women. Frederick Engels described that the social inferiority of women in history was the result of economical one.

YPJ created severe difficulties to Erdogan’s sponsored ISIS in the region. Ceylan Ozalp the lost YPJ fighter revealed that the seekers of paradise through martyrdom always started shivering whenever watched a woman with gun as they believe being killed by a woman they would be thrown in hell losing 72 virgins as well.

Prior to Asia another Kurd fighter, known as Rehana, had become famous for killing of numerous ISIS members. ISIS claimed twice of her killing but later on one of ISIS member holding the cut face of YPJ soldier in social media was killed by Kurds.

The second source of earning of ISIS after its largest commercial business of oil in partnership with Turkish Erdogan is selling of the captured women of every age for which open markets & auctions are conducted. ISIS justifies the acts of pimping through Quran & Hadith.

But the Kurds have reduced ISIS to pulp in many areas. History of long Kurdish struggle anticipates its long life as it is not easy for ISIS and its patrons to eradicate Kurd resistance especially against ISIS. Any attainable Russian support to Kurds in future would be fatal to conservative assets of imperialist powers in the region.

Despite ideological difference with YPJ let me clear that all the martyrs including Asia & other Kurdish female fighters in war field are the real heroines of life. Asia is beacon for those women being confined in homes, girls students of universities lacking political consciousness and other women belonging to oppressed classes especially for the working women in Pakistan when she was not there to show her beauty or to live like a secondary human. She held the ground for freedom & to liberate her people as well as in deep scrutiny to emancipate all of us.
Red Salute to a great girl.

 

Rape in the name of Marriage

Sumera aged 12 years was not fully aware what was going to be happened with her. A few weeks ago she had gone through a dramatic scene when her elder sister Humaira aged 22 years had escaped from the house and then solemnized court marriage with her class fellow almost of her age. But within a week she was brought by her brothers and cousins to home where after in a precious dinner it was decided to kill her as she caused contempt against her family due to marriage of her will.
As the male elders of her family had reached a conclusion that the action of Humaira could be replayed by Sumera, hence they decided to marry Sumera with a man of 60 years of age who already had six children all elders then Sumera in age. But she was too young to think of culture where love marriage of a same age couple is prohibited but selling purchasing a minor child for to rape to any old man is an adequate one.
After the marriage, she was raped so many times by her husband of which she could never complain anyone except her mother who strictly forbade her to discuss such with anybody again as the same is the contempt of her husband.
After few months she had to suffer some kind of fits; regarding treatment of the same in a clinic she met with some women working for an NGO to whom she told the whole story. The fists were the result of her unnatural marriage when her husband, now, was not able to perform sexual liabilities. NGO’s workers suggested her to decide her fate herself regarding which the law is there.
Sumera also came to know that it was not only her dilemma. Even, in 21st century, Child or forced marriage not only is common but also is the integral part of several cultures in Middle East, South Asia & Central Asia where both illiterate and literate sections of the society feel proud of such rape styled marriages considering the same their social right. She decided to approach the Court of law where she filed suit for dissolution of marriage on the basis of puberty. She had to face strong reaction when even the family of her husband asked her father for honor killing. But with the assistance of above mentioned NGO’s workers she succeeded in her case.
During the proceeding of her case she also came to know the another hypocrite face of the male chauvinist society, where the woman is deemed as a sexual tool, that almost in more than 98% cases the groom is found of older age and no one could think to marry a 16 years boy with a 60 years old woman. Rest of the marriages in which groom is also minor, are solemnized due to some traditions relating to enmity such as Vani / Swara or Watta Satta.
She realized that freedom requires courage to fight irrespective of the strength and sacredness of the rejected traditions and norms of the society.

KARACHI HEAT STROKE ???

A Business Hub, Cosmopolitan & Multiethnic Port of Pakistan, now is known for another quality i.e. the rising death toll.
Last month, within a fortnight of hot weather, the number of deaths in Karachi, due to the alleged hot stroke, was more than the official stated figures. Doubtless the inhabitants of Karachi are not familiar with the extreme hot or extreme cold weathers, but sultry June also is not new for them. This June weather was not too extreme to kill the people of the port city. Casting responsibility of the causalities upon the hot weather merely would be a fabricated and criminal pretext when in whole of the month the temperature never touched 48c. Nucleus of the debate must be specific criminal activities & omissions on behalf of certain persons, whether in the form of government or of corporate which forced people to suffer from want of the electricity which, even, could not be termed as Load shedding. Most of people died due to non availability of basic human needs especially the electric supply and the shortage of drinking water. But no one dare to say upon the same as both are sacred, i.e. the corporate which supply electricity to the city and the imported traditions which forbade the citizens to eat or drink any thing during the daylight for the sake of sacred month of the Muslims.
The government authorities proclaimed the safety instructions to the citizens especially to drink more and more water or juices etc but the same could not be possible out of the homes when all the hotels etc were strictly closed. If someone tries to utter a word upon the same the professional priests would be there to impose a fatwa of Kufar.
Let us come to the Karachi Electric (KE), the key & only electricity seller, supplier & distributor in the city, incorporated .in 1913 as Karachi Electric Supply Company (KESC) (Ltd) shares of which were acquired by Government of Pakistan in 1952; ultimately taking control of the company by the Government tantamount to nationalization. But in 2005, during Musharaf’s Military Regime (1999-2008), KESC was privatized and was sold out to Trans-national Corporate namely Abraaj Group, despite the fact that the Pakistan Army had taken control of KESC since 1994. So the direct involvement or interference of army in matter of privatizing the company could not be ruled out. The Abraaj group continuously transformed KESC into KE.
Unlike any other company, government institution or department such as Pakistan Railway or WAPDA, the KE could never claim any monetary loss in her business in the Cosmopolitan since 2005. KE supplies the electricity to residential, commercial and industrial areas of the city and roundabouts covering almost an area of 6500 square kilometres. The annual profit from Karachi city is in Millions of US Dollars (Billions of Pakistani Rupees) which is confirmed even by Pakistani Bourgeoisie Electronic Media showing KE liable to pay more than Rupees Five Billion as a share in profit to its consumers. The company website also shows her profit accordingly.
The above mentioned amount of profit includes not the profit derived from illegal and secret sources, while the large amount being usurped by the local officers and authorities of KE is in addition to the same. It is firmly alleged by the Media and the local inhabitants of the city that KE replaced all the Copper wires in the city with the Silver those, in order to earn additional amount valuing in Billions of Rupees, which also was the main cause of trapping of feeders resulted in complete breakdown of the electricity even for many days in several localities.
Blackout for hours is another roaring trade to increase in profit when during load shedding oil etc is saved but full line rent plus all other charges and taxes are received from the consumer which along with the corporate benefits the government as well.
In view of the barbaric way of profit generating at the expense of helpless people of the city the tragedy could be termed only as a massacre especially when even the government figures show the rate of death almost 250 people per day.
Nevertheless there is another tragedy bigger then the massacre: the complete silence after the change of the weather. The government departments, political parties and the media have kept themselves quite upon the issue, trying to let the people forget the same. The Federal Minister for Power exposed himself and the system when instead of taking responsibility of the tragedy or even showing a false sympathy with the victims, he openly threatened the people of Karachi of disconnection the electricity of the area from where there found deficiency in the payments of bills: a clear message to the Karachities that the government is bound to save the interests of the corporate more then the so called job of saving the lives of the poor and miserable people of the country. No one could dare to take strict action against the culprits responsible for the human tragedy and even no FIR, till the date, has been registered against anybody. NEPRA without conducting any enquiry and without releasing any report placed KE in the clear from the liability of the human tragedy since the criminal actions, omissions, corruption or fatal negligence of a corporate could not be called the same. The question is there whether the Bosses & Heads of KE, their protectors i.e. the federal & provincial governments and other state institutions especially the Ministry of Power may be exonerated of the charge of the killings of innocent people of Karachi ?
It must not be matter of astonishing that prior to launching operation against the alleged corruption, the Rangers provided full security to KE, ignoring the stories of corruption of the corporate in the media. On the other hand the provincial government also staged a drama of sit-in in the premises of provincial assembly against KE. Sindh government within a week has expressed her anger against the Para-military force Rangers the fact which establishes KE more powerful then the security forces, exposing the bourgeoisie political principle guaranteeing the supremacy of monetary capital upon the state.
Specific religious elements, being backed by the Establishment who had staged the so-called Million March (procession) for the “Muslims of Gaza”, avoided to stage even a Hundred March for the people of Karachi; the omission which exposed their crush on monetary capitalism as well as hatred against the working masses.
In discussion upon the topic, the bourgeoisie media deliberately ignored the key point: the countless wealth & unlimited powers of trans-national corporate. Much has been said about the Karachi recent tragedy but no one could dare to expose the real faces of the actual bosses of KE i.e. the Abraaj group directly responsible for the affairs of Karachi Electric. In fact such exposure would topple the real characters the politics in Karachi either nationalists, religious or the so called patriots head over heals.
A former senator of PPP on electronic media alleged Arabs for the recent killings and shed the issue one of sectarian but he deliberately hidden the names of key persons in the corporate i.e. the Group Founder & Chief Executive Mr. Arif Naqvi who at least is not a Wahabi.
Likewise the popular political organization of Karachi becomes dumb when it came to the names of the Urdu speaking members of board of directors of the corporate especially Mr. Naqvi, Mr. Siddique. If the deaths in the hands of Punjabi speaking Rangers could be termed as killings then why no voice is raised by MQM upon the deaths in the hands of certain Urdu speaking capitalists??
We should not forget the basic structure of monetary capitalism where poor or needy people may be utilized for the secret services whether of the country they live in or the alien state and the secret services are utilized for big shareholders/owners of trans-national corporations. Hence the most sensitive allegations regarding involvement of Indian agency RAW in Karachi seems to be suspended in the issue of KE when many close their eyes upon the presence of Indian nationals in the key posts and in the Board of Directors of the Corporate running KE in Pakistan. The Federal Minister of Pakistan for Climate change when alleged India for exporting heat waves to Pakistan deliberately overlooked certain persons like Sev Vettivetpillai, Purshotam Ramchandani and Ashish Patel the key figures in Abraaj Group directly responsible for the deaths in Karachi.
We also find nothing strange when the sectarian groups in Pakistan despite their open hatred against the poor and miserable Hindus of India could never utter a single word against the above mentioned Hindus of the corporate. Similarly Islamic anchors in electronic media also avoid such issues missing the opportunities of raising their ratings. While the most coward elements in Sindh who (by profession) forcibly abduct helpless Hindu child girls to rape them in the name of conversion and marriage remained fail to dare to preach a single teaching of Islam to the daughters of the above said Hindu capitalists simply because beggars could never stand against their donors.
In English it is said “Money Talks”, but in Pakistan much louder.

Egyptian Revolution SEEKING FINAL VICTORY

Egyptian Revolution SEEKING FINAL VICTORY

 

bY: Nusrat KHAN Afghani

 

Jolting half of the world, the Egyptian Revolutions have been annoying the ruling elite all over the world, whether conservative Emperors of the Middle East or the liberal democrats of the developed countries, as the revolting masses in Egypt have ousted two dictators within short period of 18 months. But at this instant, revolution, facing two fold confrontations, from reactionary old Establishment and from counter revolutionary Islamic extremists, requires immediate International Solidarity. Combating certain situation of civil war is ultimate result of the lapse on behalf of the revolutionary masses of Egypt in revolution of 2011-2012, when they omitted to go forward to smash the old State structure: letting the army and state establishment, hostile to Mobarak’s team, to take powers in her hands, instead of delivering the same to the revolting masses?

Transformation of successful revolutions in counter revolutions demonstrates the failure of social democracy and a smack for renegade leftists, for whom the revolutions had become the anecdotes and outdated phenomenon.

Confining Egyptian revolutionary era to people’s sentiments against dictators, to result of any accident or of any impression of revolution in any nearby country especially in Tunis, indeed, tantamount to obscure the mounting contradictions of World Monetary Capitalism. Likewise other parts of the planet, the people of Egypt, too, were grave victims of crises of capitalism. At time when US backed dictators in the region had been off-putting, for decades, the economic freedoms and socio-political liberties of the people, the romance between imperialist forces and Islamic extremists, behind the curtain of the so-called war against terrorism, increased the miseries in the lives of the people of Middle East and the African continent. The same secret romance could be brought exposure home to the world after US’s CIA and Al-Qaeda pitch in against Qaddafi in Libya and against Asad in Syria.

Especially with the spark at Tehrir esquire, in 2011, the conflicting transnational corporations decided to revive the alliances with the Islamic extremist to counter the revolutions in the region. When the people were on streets and the conservative Muslim Brotherhood (MB), being afraid or working class revolution in Egypt, had shown her alienation from the revolutionary movements, the world bourgeoisie media started propaganda posing MB as the largest party of the revolution as well as a threat to the West. It is funny that western imperialism donated large amounts to the president of this “threat” in 2012-2013 and after July 3^rd irritated upon the removal of the same “threat”. The intention behind the same propaganda was to get two fold advantages: first to promote MB in Egypt as well as to threaten the working masses of the western countries from so called threat of growing Islamic extremism in Egypt etc, and the second was to turn away the movement to a religious one.

In history we find MB as an organization, cherished against Jamal Abdul Nasar, the Soviet backed president of Egypt in sixties. During Mobarak’s regime, MB with the financial assistance of American CIA launched war against communist revolutionary government of Afghanistan along with Al-Qaida and other militant groups. Later on the so called restrictions against MB were parts of tactics to promote the same as real opposition in Egypt, rendering the same militant organization as Reserve Force to be used against people of Egypt and to oppress any revolutionary movement.

In pursuance of the same strategy, after rigging in the elections of 2012, delivering power to MB, the former president Morsi, being favourite child of USA and Arab empires, was endowed with billions of dollars in the name of aid as well as loan from International Monetary Fund (IMF) for which he started imposing anti people policies implied by IMF.

But to divert the attention of the people of Egypt, becoming angry upon the hiking prices of petroleum, food items & electricity etc as well as upon increasing unemployment, Morsi took non issues as priority of his government including inviting Iranian president to open new front against Israel and introducing dreadful laws including vulgar one: allowing husbands to have sexual intercourse with the dead bodies of their wives, prior to their funeral. One of the reasons to take Morsi in safe custody of army, on 3^rd of June, 2013, was apprehension of the application of the law upon Morsi by angry mob outside his palace.

Civil & Military Establishment in Egypt, in conjunction with judiciary, powerful tribal leaders and large Corporates would never let the masses to directly interfere in the State affairs: key condition to lead the revolution to its final victory. The removal of Morsi’s team, as an action-replay of 2012, and appointment of caretaker president to conduct elections for an assembly is a process of playing havoc with the revolution. Pertinent to mention, if Morsi was loyal to imperialist forces, more than Mobarak, the present army chief did obtain approval from US secretary of defence prior to removing of former.

The future of Egypt is in the hands of the revolutionary masses on streets who have two options: either to go back to home rendering the army and establishment to run the state affairs with their own whims or to remain on streets fighting till the overthrowing of old system and state structure.

No doubt, in both conditions, Egypt might face civil war but fight to complete revolution would put masses out of their countless miseries: however in case of incomplete revolution there is most apprehension that the revolutionary people of Egypt would be punished by state authorities including possible massacre either by Egyptian army or by MB.

In present situation when the counter revolutionary MB has started attacks upon Egyptian revolutionary forces, the later have no option but to lead the revolution to its ultimate fate i.e. the final victory; through smashing the State structure and forming the elected bodies of students, working & oppressed classes and peasants, in every village, town and city, bearing all powers including direct interference in the State affairs. Though the same is a difficult task but not impossible, if revolutionary masses organize themselves every where in country capturing all state institutions and asking lower cadres of the state especially of army and other law enforcing forces, along with assuring them in practice that the revolution is also for the later when miseries of both are the same, either to be with them or to be ready for confrontation. Guide lines should be acquired from Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 wherein powers already with the working masses were confirmed through smashing of old authoritarian state set up, replacing the same with the soviets of workers, peasants and soldiers: the only way of emancipation of Egyptian people as well as to achieve the goal of final victory Egyptian Revolution.

ABC OF WOMEN’S EMANCIPATION

VIEW : A B C of women’s emancipation — Nusrat Khan Afghani

No movement of women’s emancipation can be pulled off without its affiliation with the movement for the emancipation of all oppressed masses

Freedom of women remained and is the talk of numberless NGOs, other institutions and governments, working for a long time and spending millions of dollars to achieve this purpose, but until now the said question remains to be solved. Even in the USA and Britain, the guardians of liberalism in the world, women do not have a status equal to men, and where hundreds of women are sexually harassed, exploited and raped. Supporters of monetary capitalism though in theory claim equality for women before the law, but have never been able to implement it due to want of the same in practice.

Let us pay attention to this query: is there any women’s question at all? It would be strange for many liberals but historical materialism explains the non-existence of the women’s question (as bourgeois liberals present it) in class society since the discrimination women suffer is not biologically determined, but attributed to an exploitive system based on private ownership. The women’s question is part of the social question and it can only be solved completely by transforming the whole of society.

‘Bachofen’ in his book Mother Right asserts that in the ancient past humanity originally lived in a free sex society rendering it impossible to declare someone the father of a progeny; therefore, descent could only be reckoned in the female line putting the woman as the head of the tribe or the family. The American writer Morgan scientifically analysed the human progress from savagery to civilisation through barbarism in Ancient Society, which could not achieve popularity in a male-chauvinist society.

Freidrich Engels in the light of the said book of Morgan discussed sexual, social and productive relations in different ages of history in his enormous work, The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State. Engels talked about the family in a historical category, which changed and developed as the mode of production changed and developed. The family as a social phenomenon appeared in primitive society, having for its economic basis a primitive communistic household in which the woman dominated. Men came from different gens, whereas women ruling the household usually belonged to the same gens. Lineage was traced only by the distaff side. Engels strictly rejected the ridiculous conjecture holding women slaves of men since prehistoric ages. In ancient times, there gradually appeared a paired family system, which developed as the productive forces grew and women’s influence in economic matters and social relations declined. Before discussing monogamy it is important to look into the social and economic system of the patriarchal period.

The prehistoric time was the era of savagery and barbarism. Fruit, fish and hunting were the resources of livelihood. There was no concept of private property and the state. The political or social system was tribal in which an administrative or tribal council (not ruling) consisted of adult members of society. Women were equal partners of men in sharing rights and liabilities of life.

Differentiating the hardworking woman of that time from the woman of today, Engels pens, “Among peoples where the women have to work far harder than we think suitable, there is often much more real respect for women then among our Europeans. The lady of civilisation, surrounded by false homage and estranged from all real work, has an infinitely lower social position than the hardworking woman of barbarism who was regarded among her people as a real lady and she was also such in status.”

The concept of private ownership was born on the eve of the agricultural revolution. Greed for private property led man to think that it should be transferred to his offspring, building the concept of ‘monogamy’.

Despite being a progressive step in history, monogamy was imposed only upon women, rendering men free from it. The exploitation of womanhood was part of the process of exploitation of all oppressed masses. Rising feudalism degraded the status of women even further, providing the basis for all kinds of exploitation. In nations where feudalism was not strong and there were collective farms, women stood unfettered and high, both in domestic and communal life: in the Vedic times of India, in ancient Egypt and ancient Afghanistan, the position of woman was better than later in the feudal societies of these nations.

In class society, the family appeared as an economic cell and thus ‘male supremacy’ in the family is a consequence of his economic supremacy. Talking about inequality between man and woman, Engels pointed out that it is “not the cause but the effect of the economic oppression of the women”.

Household management no longer concerned society as it became a private service so the woman who had been excluded from participation in social production for a long time got no payment for her labour. In the name of religions, customs, traditions and above all, virginity, hundreds of restrictions were imposed on her liberty to keep her under house imprisonment, which ultimately destroyed her mental capacities as well as physical strength.

After the Industrial Revolution women of the lower class became economically independent, joining factories and other social institutions. Though marital relations in the family of the working class in a bourgeois society rest on love, respect, friendship and cooperation of husband and wife but due to the existence of an exploitative system, the family is still an economic cell where a woman has to carry a double burden: she works for the bourgeoisie, even for a lower wage than a man, and also has to do the lion’s share of the work involved in housekeeping and bringing up children.

To prove woman’s inferiority, it is argued that a woman is physically weaker than a man. Accepting this odd connotation, every physically stronger person is superior to a less stronger person, and thus, instead of human beings, the lion or alligator should rule the world. Observing animals in their group lives, no vital distinction can be seen between both sexes. A lioness hunts in the same way and with the same power as the lion. It is pertinent to mention here about the affection of female animal for her offspring, making her more responsible than her male partner.

In human beings, women in conservative societies are not allowed to take part in physical activities to the same extent as men. Especially during the age when male children take part in all healthy and physical activities like swimming in rivers and canals, female counterparts are forced to observe purdah, forcing them to spend most of their lives in taking care of their modesty. Her mental and physical capabilities are wasted in household work, and so she becomes weaker to man physically, mentally and socially. But women living in a natural way as men of their societies have the same powers as men.

Female furnace workers and agriculture workers perform the same duties as their male counterparts. Regarding physical strength, the most crucial point is role of conscious labour in distinguishing human beings from animals. Both men and women laboured in the same manner, in the same way and in the same time. Today’s human brain is the outcome of this conscious labour of millions of years. Medical science proves there is no difference between the mental qualities and capacities in both sexes, as human ascension is always determined by knowledge, not by physical power.

Exploitation of women annexes the exploitation of all oppressed classes, hence no movement of women’s emancipation can be pulled off without its affiliation with the movement for the emancipation of all oppressed masses. Women are household labourers like industrial labourers, wage earners and agriculture workers who produce a large number of surplus value.

Only the removal of the exploitative system that is based on private property and monetary capital can make women free, abolishing all oppression, inequality and economic abuse. The family would cease to be an economic cell and would perform the functions of regulating relations between the sexes, bringing up children, creating the best conditions for the family members and marriage resting on love, friendship and cooperation of husband and wife.

BOLSHEVIK REVOLUTION: ADVENTUROUS OR SCIENTIFIC STEP

 

By: Nusrat Khan Afghani

 

After next five years we are going to celebrate the centurium of the great October Socialist Revolution 1917. Despite elapse of 95 years, Bolshevik Revolution is still a source of guideline perhaps more effective then ever before. Those Marxists who have vast study of social sciences and consider Marxism as a source of guideline instead of keeping blind belief in Marxism treating the same like dogma, still deem Bolshevik revolution as the only way of emancipation of human being.

Contrary to this, there are several so-called communists and other left wing ‘sectarian believers’ for whom Bolshevik revolution was a military coup d’état, adventurism or accidental event to occupy Winter Palace of Petrograd. These coward elements though raise slogans of revolution loudly but in practice even have no courage to listen the sounds of footsteps of a revolution. Such ‘left wing intellectuals’ use to astonish the working class people of their intellectuality like a religious priest considering themselves lord it over workers. But when revolution starts to knock the doors of the society, they find themselves frighten from transformation of intellects, power and leadership in the hands of the masses. So at the very time of practice such communists betray the working masses. Lenin rightly called such elements “impotent”.

We can find the roots of hostility to Bolshevik like revolutions in 19^th century when the so-called communists declared ‘movement’ as the only object. One Founders of scientific communism Karl Marx & Frederick Engels brutally fought against such kind of nonsense. In 20^th century great revolutionaries in Germany Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht fought against Bernstein’s theory of movement and affirmed the change as the object of the movement. Biggest contemporary ideological comrade of Rosa and Liebknecht was Vladimir Lenin who elucidated clearly that those who confine Marxism to class struggle are serving the interests of bourgeoisie (capitalists). The main object is the establishment of proletarian dictatorship (workers democracy) which may be obtained through a revolution.

In 1905 ‘Marxist’ philosopher Plekhanov had advised workers of Russia for an armed uprising but on the defeat of workers he called the uprising a mistake. Lenin, in view of stand of Karl Marx taken at the time of Paris Commune of 1871, condemned Plekhanov harshly declaring him traitor.

The conditions and circumstances of Europe and especially of Russia after 1905 and during the First World War may help someone to identify with the October revolution of 1917. But in fact it is not all. Bolshevik revolution under the leadership of Lenin is more than the same and even complicated for many: that is why communists like wise Plakhanov and Gorky fell in with the bourgeoisie government calling Bolshevik riding for the fall and many revolutionaries like great one Rosa Luxemburg could not realize some things at the very time of revolutionary epoch. Here we realize the great qualities of leadership of Lenin who transformed the bourgeoisie revolution of February 1917 in a socialist one of October 1917.

We find none in opposition to February revolution and even the capitalists also support the same. But question was there that in February 1917 workers revolted but the power went in the hands of incapable capitalists and the revolution remained fail in resolving the problems and miseries of working masses. Peace, Bread and Land remained only the dream of people. Two or three soldiers had to use single rifle to fight against their workers brothers to fulfill the vested interests of Russian imperialistic desires in WW I. War, famines were killing people while the government was doing nothing but to keep the policies of Tsar on.

Then what the communists and other revolutionaries were doing. The so-called communists, socialists and social democrats were issuing certificates of the legality of incapable Kerensky government. For Plekhanov establishment of a capitalist government was essential stage of history. In these circumstances Bolsheviks under the leadership of Lenin came ahead and advancing the revolution continuously gave the programme of final victory of workers revolution.

Just after landing at Finland, in April 1917, in train to Petrograd, Lenin first work was his ’April Thesis’ in which he emphasized that the new government was not able to fulfill the revolutionary requirements while on other hand Russia was under the practical control of the armed workers organized in Soviets who had thrown away the Tsar therefore there was no reason to disarm the revolutionary workers placing them in subordination of incapable enemies of people. Lenin further clarified that in practice we find conditions different from those we read in books and Marx had said earlier that in revolutionary times communists should adopt more flexibility.

In his writings, speeches, drafts and letters to Bolshevik party Lenin stressed that during revolution we can not wait as wait means death: death not only of party and party leadership but also of soviets, workers and of society. Bolsheviks demanded immediate transfer of “All Powers to Soviets”. July events have confirmed the approach of Lenin.

Opponents to Bolsheviks consider the same a theory of Lenin alien to Marxism. Let us discuss here briefly:

If we peruse the writings of Karl Marx prior to breaking out of uprising of workers of Paris in 1871, we find him forbading the workers from any immature uprising, but when the workers were going towards the same Marx found them in heroic conditions and supporting them without any emotion purely with scientific approach called the Paris Commune “Storming Heaven”.

Question arises where Marx could be in 1917? Could he ask the armed victorious workers to be disarmed?? No: Never. So what could do Marx was done by Lenin, i.e. fighting till final victory.

It is pertinent to mention here that workers in Russia did not take arms upon any advice of Lenin but they had taken arms and broken out a successful revolution when Lenin was in exile. Workers of Russia had eliminated a grand monarchy of the world but were deprive of the fruits of the revolution. Lenin put the same point in his discussions and he enlightened that workers are not the tissue papers to be used in history but are real force to create history; and the history shown us that workers of Russia created history.

Most of opponents of Bolshevik revolutions remained silent during the period of Soviet Union as they sought and got the monetary assistance in the name of their so-called struggle. But just after the disintegration of Soviet Union, the same elements started yowling. Many communist parties in the world declared Bolshevik revolution an adventurous step. Numerous communists in Europe became social democrats while in developing countries communists sold out themselves to NGOs.

But there is no end of history and scene is changing continuously. European people perceived the fate of the monetary capitalism on wall. And the ‘Dustbin of History’ is standing by to confiscate fugitives, cowards, traitors, opportunists and ignorant elements.

MONETARY CAPITALISM VERSUS 14 yEARS OLD GIRL By: Nusrat Khan Afghani

MONETARY CAPITALISM VERSUS 14 yEARS OLD GIRL

By: Nusrat Khan Afghani

Funny & misleading statements, half truth, exaggeration and concealments of facts have become the part and parcel of the game commenced with the attempt to murder of 14 years innocent Malala Yousufzai. Many are ignorant of the real facts, some are compelled to do so and various are exploiting this incident deliberately to promote their political career and monetary interests. 14 years female kid though faced cowardly attack upon her person but she is not aware the attacks being made by so-called sympathizers and fascist and extremist opponents.

Statements that on 9^th of October Malala was assaulted first time in her life are giving people a bum steer. Malala was attacked more then 800 times only in Swat whenever so-called Taliban set schools at fire and in every school she was inflamed hundred times with each and every book thrown away in fire due to her love with books and pens: during the same time she started to write her diary against Taliban

In 2009 when government of Awami National Party (ANP) in the province of Khyber Pakhtoon Khwa of Pakistan had surrendered the district of Swat to Taliban with pretext to reinforce the so-called peace process, throwing Malala like children before hungry wolves Malala was whipped in the main square of Swat in the presence of dozens of people by Taliban which injured her soul. ANP casting chill and salt upon her injuries flatly denied any event of whipping. Apex Supreme Court of Pakistan regretted to provide justice to Malala despite taking suo moto notice.

In near past few Malalas were either misplaced or exterminated by local criminal gang in the name of honour in Swat as they committed a sin of attending marriage ceremony in the presence of male strangers. Supreme Court of Pakistan declined to take any action and warned the petitioners from making any kind of statement against such kind of events calling the news rumour against country and government and thus Apex Court of Pakistan paved the way for brutal attack of October, 9, 2012

Let us clear another ambiguity i.e. Malala was targeted by two individuals being sent by Taliban.

Importance of the shooter in whole story is nothing more than the importance of ammunition being used against Malala. Even the story of phone call from alleged Taliban creates dents upon authenticity of commitment & efficiency of State secret services as well as of United State agencies prevailing in the region (also in Swat) against so-called war of terrorism when both parties remained inactive to trace phone call allegedly made by Tehrik e Taliban Pakistan (TTP) despite the possibility of any call from TTP after the incident.

Arguments allegedly advanced by TTP labelling Malala as a westernized girl as cause of attack are ambivalence and baseless. Why was a female kid targeted alone leaving hundreds of clubs, hotels and other centres in big cities of Pakistan where bourgeoisie do every thing which is prohibited and disliked in Islam and where there live and work hundreds of agents of imperialistic forces? In fact such kind of misstatement concerns with the artificial confrontation between so-called liberal and conservative sections of Pakistani societies.

Reader may ask “then who is responsible for assault upon Malala?” Answer is crystal clear.

Religious people believe in an eternal force noting down the activities of the people to be accounted on the judgment day.

Similar is the strategy of ruling classes for millenniums. Draconian imperialist forces and their local ruling agents have networks, global & local, which note down the good and evil acts of people especially of those who dare to concentrate or resist against tyranny of monetary capitalism. Criteria are very simple. If you are a senseless person bearing non political approach, concerning not with matters of ruling elite rejecting every kind of resistance and tolerating all injustices advanced by capital believing in non violence theory (especially of Gandhi, Ghaffar Khan and Nelson Mandella) these gods of the planet consider you a ‘good human’. But if you dare to ask ‘why’ and resist against every kind of status quo, tyranny and injustice being evil In the eyes of gods you can not be permitted by their agents to walk, think, read, write, utter, practice and even to breath. So it is in the sacred interests of all the ruling elite of the world to let Malala die or at least paralyze.

Malala was child so she could not understand the heinousness of her following crimes for which she was awarded with a punishment of bullet in her brain.

1. Loving Books
2.  Possessing ideology of resistance.
3. Courage to utter and write against tyranny.
4. Holding political approach to resist.

Neither Taliban nor the other forces (from the notables of the locality to world imperialistic elements) might exonerate such kind of terrible offences. I still can not understand why Malala is called an unarmed kid. She was not unarmed but holder of most dangerous weapon i.e. ideology of resistance which is ostracized by Obama to Osama. Consequently even the so-called sympathizers of Malala who either awarded her with medal of courage or offered free treatment seek the death of mind of Malala if not the brain. Many may not accept but it is a bitter truth as the capitalist societies always move with the help of crutches of conspiracies, sacrifices and betrayals: so even the liberal elements might target Malala ten times. Such kind of practice is apparent in Pakistani politics currently when the murder attempt is being exploited even by those who are enemies of Malala’s thinking. The elements who formed private warriors (Jihadi) organization in Bengal in 1971 to kill thousands people and to rape child girls like Malala now pose themselves as champions of Malala.

Malala might not be targeted if she had confined her reading and thinking to the extent of academic syllabus in order to be a member of squad serving the interests of monetary capitalism. Malala could not be targeted if she had joined any NGO to deceive people in the name of file & field works. She could never be targeted if she belonged to posh family of Islamabad wearing skirt or jeans to attend a disco club.

But Malala desired to resist politically having target to study more and more. It was really a terrible crime against the prevailing elements in Pakistani politics as she dared to announce to ask the liberal and religious politicians about their political programmes instead of emotional speeches! How a girl combating Pakistani male chauvinist lords in future might be spared?

Malala is the courageous girl who not only raised voice against the puppets Taliban but emphasised political struggle as only way to resolve the problems and miseries of the people especially in an area and during the time where and when alliance of imperialism, local ruling establishment and NGOs etc was compelling the people of Swat to give up the political approach of resistance and be beggars in the name of aid and relief. The same elements now are trying their best to devastate the sacrifice of Malala. It is funny when we find such kind of persons calling themselves as ‘progressive’ who not only remained biggest enemies of progressive movements but even do not know the meanings of word progressive i.e Nawaz Sharif, Imran Khan, Bilwal Bhuttoo etc. ( Benazir Bhutoo was political mother of Taliban) We find state and private media presenting images of Malala with a back ground anthem wording “we mothers, sisters and daughters are honour of nations”. Such kind of male chauvinist anthem is degrading the status of Malala as a conscious human being. One may ask the Pakistani media if there would be any boy instead of girl then could media play any anthem of ‘we fathers, brothers and sons’?

On the other hand Islamic fascist elements are condemning 14 years kid alleging her agent of western forces who defamed Pakistan army. It is strange that despite repeated claims by General Ashfaq Pervez Kiyani (COAS) no action ever has been taken against those.

Malala is facing critical medical condition. Nothing can be said about her future but the enemies of wisdom and their master capitalist rulers do not know that individuals can be killed, removed or calmed but not the ideas. Ideas continue to spread mutely without showing their presence. The courageous statements of youth all over Pakistan as well as large demonstrations in Swat alleging failure of civil and armed forces of Pakistan in the valley establishes the same and invite those politicians and forces to revise their policy who despite having people power scare to fight against the authoritarian establishment of Pakistan serving the sacred interests of monetary capitalism and imperialism.
