Capitalism or in other words job, business circles and commitments have drawn us limited to our sitting rooms and offices. Circle is complete. Nothing more, end of hectic life. But this is not how we are meant to be. And as Pakistanis, added responsibility has to be shared and addressed.

The ills of our society particularly, have been around for time unaccounted for but for known reasons. And that reason is YOU. You were ignorant to look after your families. That’s it? This is what you are Pakistani for? Think again. Put to rest your laid back attitude and think broadly about our communal image.

Now coming to the point directly, now this is a call to our young energetic vibrant Pakistani females and women. Yes, today’s focus is this sector of our society which has been never addressed with promise. Thanks to the men of our society. Today we are going to focus on an idea, an action plan that needs dire (urgent) attention, which was fired up by the recent suicide of Bushra and her children before an oncoming train. Painful, isn’t it?

So coming down to the action plan, the evil which YOU ladies so bluntly follow it is the dowry issue.

Many of our young ladies are to go through this blessed phase of wedlock. But many are not so fortunate; many girls get their hair grey waiting for this occasion. For once, if you decide that you will not marry or get someone you know married until a deserving but a poor young female is not married. Possible? Very much.

This wasn’t the action plan, it follows, keep glued to reading still.

A Word to those Greedy Men Out There
A question for men reading this; how manly is it to use the collection of women to use for yourself and proudly show it? Doesn’t it enrage you and your manliness? The assets of that being (lady) whom you consider second class citizens and your wife, are NOT yours and NEVER yours. Reason being, when the property is shared women are kept out. So how does this make you eligible?

Perhaps you’re quite greedy; if not you then your mother is or your sister is who consider you as a current account to get it full of cash, in short full of dowry. Don’t you think you are an efficient investment tool?

And before you start abusing me, just for a moment cast your attention to your filthy intent to rob many a families and their precious dreams through Genghis Khan like son of yours. If this opens your eyes, read on. Otherwise DON’T. I don’t want ineligibles and socially ‘driven’ tools to be the part of my idea which would empower the ladies. I’m honest, my country is, but you aren’t. So consider yourself casted away like any other dead rotten fish.

Ladies, if you rise to the task, then no father from this day would shed tears when his daughter is born.

ACTION PLAN (ONLY FOR LADIES)
So ladies, here’s what YOU can and will do. For men’s type addressed above, manages to get hold of some poor financially stricken bride’s family to dole out dowry and is getting married;

- His dowry demands’ details should be noted down,
- His marriage should be attended (in other words, ‘attacked’ but silently),
- His photo (without his knowledge) should be taken along with his marriage armor
- And finally published, but not through PAD’s platform but privately through any blog and group. But the message should spread like wildfire, this is the plan.

If this sounds unethical to you ladies, then you are justifying the greed of men.

Secondly, make a group titled ANTI DOWRY SSG (we’ll help you to formulate it) and make a foolproof plan that no man can hijack it. If you haven’t done, till now, anything for Pakistan, do this at least.

If this doesn’t work out, the smiling and greedy bachelors would have a free hand to exploit even more.

Okay, if at this moment you think, some ‘other’ lady can initiate this then nobody would do it. YOU and only YOU can and will DO IT. So stand up to the challenge even if it takes much, but still you have to take the lead against men. Challenging, isn’t it? But just imagine how men would be reduced to a plump.

EXPOSE THEM

Let the men be shown their real self. Expose them. Even if the bearer of this writing is found indicted, cut his hands (not in real terms) but deface, demean the men and empower yourself. If many cut hands (sorry faces) are seen around, you would have dropped the single drop of water on the stone.

Nobody Would Help You, If YOU Don’t
Nobody would ever come to your help. Stand up to the challenge. If a renegade / traitor of yours is exposed, 10 other would-be groom would automatically take a step back and not be a peanut of the society. Either you’re taking the lead or let men rein you. Let’s come ahead together and decorate the waiting hands with henna with the blood of those cut and guilty hands.
Join hands with PAD for this idea. PAD pleads you for your own benefit. Leave your nest for the delightful flight ahead. Feel the airy spirit rising of voluntary help. Many deserving darkness need your enlightment.
Take The Challenge
If still this doesn’t sound challenging to you, then here is a link which would rekindle your nationalistic flame, it did rekindle my fire of passion, http://express.com.pk/images/NP_LHE/20080420/Sub_Images/1100391459-2.gif There is nothing a better gift to give it to your country on this day of Iqbal. Perhaps, these words today you are reading and being written are coming in from Iqbal, from the skies.
Perhaps.
Iqbal also lives on, but stand up to him and his dreams; at least for now, please.
Pakistan Zindabad.
