THE LAST OLIGARCHS



In the latest batch of wiki leaks revelations, a lot of fears of the public have come true. Pakistan is indeed an oligarchy run by few with the help of foreign assistance. Reflecting upon the blog ‘’Haq’s Musings’’ which I have been following, I guess Pakistan is truly a defunct schizophrenic oligarchy running on the fuel of American aid.

 Here, the select few who rule the nation, always remain in a state of fear about the other set of people whom they have just toppled to grab the power. Every leader has a series of conspiracy scandals behind him. Every one suspects the other so much that the most trusted person on whom a Pakistani politician can rely upon is the U.S. Ambassador in Islamabad. If  a politician wants to share his deepest secrets, he invariably runs to the U.S Ambassador and shares with him.The role of U.S mission is so deep that if someone wants to become the Prime Minister of the country he has to seek the blessings of the U.S Ambassador.

Although, it would be foolish to say that a country like Pakistan is in the control of the U.S, but indeed a majority of decisions which the political dispensation in Islamabad takes does have an American Imprint on them.
Pakistan being an extremely schizophrenic and disparate country has other considerable robust pillars of power as well, which time and again pull the strings according to their mood and likings. To find a common thread among these disparate pillars  would be difficult but one thing over which these oligarchs do strike a common ground is Kashmir and their hatred or rather Jealousy towards India. By doing this they somehow take the focus away from the more basic and pressing issues like food, employment and house.
The common people of Pakistan should take lessons from these Wiki Leaks and try to find out the real problems of their country. By lulling the consciousness of the ordinary Pakistani through the use of religion and an imaginary enemy called India, these rulers of Pakistan with a feudal mindsets have made a fool out of their public by condemming them into living in a feudal world.
