A Social Asset

By Himat Ali Khunharo

Abdul Rashid Ahmed Kolachi was born in 1968 at Kolachi village, situated five kilometers away from Mehar, district Dadu. He got primary and secondary education from Mehar. He was very intelligent in class so teachers loved him and always guided him. He passed Intermediate from Degree College Mehar. He did three years diploma in engineering from Dadu and came back to village.

His village was full of ignorant people and there was no any good school from where children could acquire education so he started work to educate people of his village. In this age of materialistic aims and motives, where people are so selfish, there he sacrificed all luxuries of life and worked day in and day out for the promotion of education because he did not want to see his coming generations as ignorant.

This struggle continued for three years and he requested to the government that we need a middle school. Government accepted the request of Abdul Rashid Ahmed Kolachi and established middle school at Kolachi village. Now children at village can get education easily.

Two years later, he started efforts for hospital but government did not gave any positive response then he stressed upon Mr Iiaquat Ali Khan Jatoi who was Federal Prime Minister of Pakistan at that time. Abdul Rasheed donated his personal property land for hospital at Kolachi village and now days hundreds of poor are being treated there free of cost.

He further involved in social welfare and opened a training center for widows to sew the clothes and sustain their lives.

Many widows earn their living and fulfill domestic needs of family. He also built a mosque at his village where children recite Holy Quran. Presently he serves as Pesh Imam of Mosque. He is recognized as a great name of Kolachi because he devoted his life for others and is best among us, who live for others.

As genius is not great but honest person is great in this world, and those persons create a place in heart of everyone. If every man thinks like Abdul Rashid Ahmed Kolachi then our social conditions would not remain as they are today. Very few persons in this world think like him.

At evening, he helps his father to sell flour.

Now Kolachi village is recognized by him and his father's name. I asked him how you feel when you help poor. He answered, I feel relax when I fulfill the needs of people.

Abdul Rashid is a great person. He sacrificed his life for villagers. Man can die but his work and contribution in society will always be remembered. Abdul Rashid Ahmed is a great example for us.

Let Us Choose

Let us choose

By Farah Naz

What is this Ali? How many times will you get bad marks in your exams? You know your father has spent a lot on your admission in medical college. He will be very angry to see your reluctant performance.

Ali who was sitting quite and disappointed by his result told his mother that he was not interested in the filed of medicines. He wanted to take admission in arts but his father forced him that is why he had to take admission, but still, He is not able to digest that field. His class performance is also dull and he is not sure, whether he can continue it or not.

Such issue is very common in student life of our youth and every second student is victim of same problem.

It is assumed that some financial problem could be the reason for a student which compels him towards that walk of life where he does not feel fit. We know that future of any country depends on its youth. If her youth are mentally and physically sound, the future of country would be bright.

Now a days, youth is under great stress and unable to choose the field of studies according to their aptitude. Right of parents to decide the career of their child sometimes disturbs his mind. Choosing a career is a process that is based on a number of factors including interests, skills, work related values and personality. Where as, now a days, parents pressurize their children to go in the field of medicine, judiciary etc.

As a matter of fact, pressure of parents is mostly observed when children pass their matriculation examination. Parents who belong to medical field always want their children to take pre-medical subjects in intermediate classes.

This practice is very wrong. Students must be given a chance to recognize their aptitudes and select the field of career they feel eligible enough to join. Merely to fulfill one's own dream, parents should not take fast and hard decision to choose the subject of study for their children.

Different people enjoy different things and the job should be something which we love to do. If not, then we are definitely in the wrong field.

Parents should not be choosing their child's career because something they like could be something the child absolutely hates. I firmly stand by the belief that no one has the right to tell you how to live your life, and if we to stick to that, then everyone should be able to choose their life path.

Parents should suggest their opinion but final decision should be left with the children. Forcible decisions of parents can lead a child towards failures in future.

Smart parents are aware of the interests and inclinations of their children. The best thing they can do is simply enhance these interests by making suggestions and giving guidance. If the children are determined to pursue their own interest, parents have no choice but to give in to avoid blame later on.

In this computer age, the youth is probably more informed than their parents, so they should always be ready to discuss with them.

The main factors to consider in deciding a child's course in college are his academic achievements and functional performance, his preferred course, future employment opportunities and the financial capability of parents to support the child through college.

Some factors are in the domain of the child, others are in the domain of the parents. It is therefore imperative that both parents and child talk it out. It should be a consensus. But last decision should be that which child wants or required for him then he/she can better explore themselves.

Mushrooming of private TV channels

Media in Pakistan has grown after mushrooming of private TV channels and we have seen number of journalists becoming analysts, hosts and opinion-makers, making and breaking public image of their followers. On the other hand, cyber space has been getting populated in our country since last few years as people started to get into blogging and making their mark by commenting and participating in discussions. The word “Breaking news” remains the hero of print, cyber or electronic media. A race to break the news sometimes distorts the ethics of journalism but as they say “jo dikhta hai wo bikta hai”, so it has become an industry now. Columnists like Hamid Mir, Ansar Abbasi, Shahid Masood, Talat Hussain, Nazir Naji,and many others got recognition and fame from electronic media. Cyber Media has also started to developed readership of die-hard followers, reading and commenting on blogs and websites. Thus, the world of news and journalism modernized at very high-speed.

Western Media by Ishrat Jarwar

Article by: Ishrat Jarwar

جڏهن ڳالهه سنڌ جي اچي ٿي ته جيڪا ذهني، سماجي، شعوري، ثقافتي ۽ هر قسم جي افراتفري آهي ۽ مٿان وري فوج ڪشيون ڪرپٽ جمهوريتون لساني قومي فساد ۽ وفاق جون ارهه زورايون مطلب ته مسئلن جا انبار آهن تاريخ مسخ ٿي چڪي آهي، ڪوڙي شهرت حاصل ڪرڻ جي آڙ ۾ اسان پنهنجي سڃاڻپ ۽ پنهنجي ثقافت وڃائي ويٺا آهيون.

جڏهن اسان ڳالهه ڪيون ٿا سنڌي ثقافت جي ته ذهن ۾ هڪ خوبصورت خاڪو ٺهي ايندو آهي، ٽوپي، اجرڪ مردن لاءِ وڏيون وڏيون سلوارون، عورتن لاءِ نهايت خوبصورت گج ڀريل چولا، گربي جون سلوارون ٻاڌئڻ جون گنديون شادي جون خوبصورت رسمون ڳوٺن ۾ هر شام جو اوطاق تي چانهه يا لسي سان گڏ ڪچهريون، هر گهر ۾ صبح جو سوير جهوجهو ماٽي جو آواز، زمين ۾ هر هلائيندڙ هاري، انهيءَ پياري ماحول ۾ جيترو لسي سان ماني کائڻ جو مزو ايندو آهي ايترو ڪنهن فائيو اسٽار به نه ايندو آهي.

انهن ننڍڙين شين ۾ جيڪو سڪون ملندو آهي اهو محل ۾ رهڻ سان به نٿو ملي ڪلچر ته اڄ به اسان جو اهو ئي آهي پر سوچڻ جي ڳالهه آهي پوءِ سڪون ڇو نه رهيو آهي؟ ڇو اڄ ڀاءُ ڀاءُ جو دشمن ٿي ويو آهي.

آخر سبب ڇا آهي؟ سنڌي ماڻهن کي ٻين جي نظرن ۾ ڪيرائڻ ۾ سنڌي ميڊيا جو وڏو هٿ رهيو آهي.

سنڌي چئنلن تي ايندڙ هر ڊرامي ۽ فلم جي هڪ ئي ڪهاڻي هلندي ته وڏيرا ظالم آهن ۽ ان جي ظلمن کان تنگ ٿي ڪري ڪو غريب ڌاڙيل ٿي ويندو آهي يا وري سڱاوتي تڪرار، ڪاروڪاري جي جهيڙن ۾ پيءُ پٽ ۽ ڀاءُ پنهنجي سڳي ڀاءُ جو خون پيو ڪري مان ائين نه ٿي چوان ته جيڪي قصا ڪهاڻيون ڊرامن ۾ ڏيکاري رهيا آهن اهي ڪوڙا آهن، هزارين سالن کان ائين ٿيندو آيو آهي ۽ اڄ تائين به اهو سڀ ٿي رهيو آهي جنهن جي خبر صبح جو اخبار پرهندڙ هر ماڻهو کي هو ملي ويندي آهي.

سنڌ ۽ ميڊيا کي کپي صرف ٽوپي اجرڪ يا سنڌو جو ڏهاڙو ملهائڻ سان گڏوگڏ هو پنهنجي طاقت ۽ عقل سان سچي سنڌي هجڻ جو فرض ادا ڪن. جيڪڏهن اسان جي سماج ۾ اڄ تائين اهي مسئلا آهن ته ماڻهن جي ذهنن کي تبديل ڪن ها پر ائين ته ڪجهه به نه ٿيو جيڪي ماڻهو انهن قصن کان واقف نه هئا انهن کي به سنڌي ميڊيا ڏيکاريو ته اسان ڌاڙيل آهيون غيرت جي نالي تي اسان پنهنجا رت جا رشتا قتل ڪري ٿا ڇڏيون. اها جهالت هر چئنلن تي واضح ڏيکاري رهيا آهن. جڏهن اهي ڊراما ۽ فلمون سنڌي ماڻهو ڏسندا آهن ته سمجهن ٿا اسان جي عزت پئي ٿي، پر جڏهن ٻيا ماڻهو ڏسندا آهن ته اهي سنڌين کان نفرت ڪندا آهن، اسان جو ايترو خوبصورت ڪلچر هجڻ باوجود اڄ اسان ويسٽرن ڪلچر ۽ انڊين ڪلچر جا غلام ٿي ويا آهيون.

ٿوري دير لاءِ صرف سوچيو ڇا اسان جي ڪلچر کان وڌيڪ ويسٽرن ۽ انڊين ڪلچر خوبصورت آهي؟ اهو ڀلا ڪيئن ٿو ٿي سگهي جنهن ۾ تن ڍڪڻ لاءِ پورا ڪپڙا به نه آهن اهو خوبصورت ڪيئن ٿي ويو؟ اصل ڳالهه ميڊيا جي آهي انهن جي ميڊيا ايتري ته پاور فل آهي جو ماڻهن کي مجبور ڪري ڇڏيو اٿس انهن جو ڪلچر اپنائڻ لاءِ، ٿورو غور ڪجو دوستو! ڪڏهن توهان ڪنهن انڊيا جي فلم يا ڊرامي ۾ ڏٺو آهي ڪنهن ماڻهو کي سنڌي ڊريس پاتل هجي يا ڪنهن ويسٽرن ميڊيا ۾ ائين ڏٺو آهي. يقيناً ڪنهن به نه ڏٺو هوندو ڇو ته بيوقوف هو نه اسان آهيون.

سنڌي چئنلن تي هلندڙ گانن ۽ پروگرامن ۾ ساڙي ۽ جينس پائڻ به عام ٿي وئي آهي. سنڌي ميڊيا ڪلچر بچائي رهي آهي يا تباهه ڪري رهي آهي اهو ته غور فڪر ڪندڙ هر ماڻهو سمجهي سگهي ٿو اسان وٽ ڪنهن شيءِ جي گهٽتائي آهي جو اڄ اسان ٻين ملڪن ۽ ٻين جي ڪلچر جا محتاج ٿي ويا آهيون. ٽيلينٽ ٻولي، ڪلچر، معدنيات ۽ سون جهڙيون زمينون هر شيءِ اسان وٽ موجود آهي جيڪڏهن ڪنهن شيءِ جي گهٽتائي آهي ته اهو عقل آ الله پاڪ اسان کي هر شيءِ سان نوازيو آهي بس اسان عقل جو استعمال صرف فضول ڳالهين ۽ فضول ڪمن ۾ ڪيون ٿا. پنهنجي عقل جي ڏور يورپين ملڪن جي هٿ ۾ ڏئي ڇڏي آهي. حيف آهي اسان جي زندگي تي هر شيءِ هجڻ باوجود ٻين جا محتاج آهيون.*..
