Recently, the Supreme Court of Pakistan issued a ban on the use of the word ‘Sahib’ with the titles of government officials – a commendable decision. However, the question remains: will this directive be adhered to in both letter and spirit?
The likelihood appears low, given that the use of titles like ‘Sir’ or ‘Sahib’ has become deeply ingrained in our societal norms. Unfortunately, flattery has become pervasive in our culture, and such directives may struggle to make a substantial impact.
