Hope for Pakistan

On August 14, 1947, Pakistan came into being. Our forefathers gave countless sacrifices in order to turn the dream of a safe, peaceful welfare state for the Muslims of the subcontinent into reality. However, the current state of Pakistan is quite deplorable. The political parties of the country, instead of uniting the nation, are at loggerheads with each other. Due to the awful economic conditions, the country is stuck in a debt and aid trap.

However, there is still some hope that Pakistan can get out of these murky waters. Around 64 per cent of the population is under the age of 30. If properly educated in science and technology, this youth population can take Pakistan from the pits of darkness to the heights of glory and a respectable place in the community of nations.
