Westernization

Freedom, autonomy, liberation, trust, money, A young adult can solely ask for so much. Its clear that, s/he should be acknowledged & granted these honours. But then again, one can only earn them, by providing oneself to one's parents or guardian. In contrary what happen actually in this ambiguous milieu, is quite inconsolable. 

A so called progressive individual considers his/her parents old-timers, confused, abominable persona, shallow minded, if they don't let him/her have access to all so called needs of adulthood. Teenager always have their arguments from 'Understanding', always speculate that, our parents are not listening to us,  not taking us serious but what exist behind this  'seriousness' is actually, just to provide him/her despicable liberty. Sadly saying, nowadays the conflict that arise between parents and their teenager kids is because they are not allowed to go to some mixed gathering, or to attend a function that goes way into night. Most of those conflicts start and end with, "you don't trust me. Do you? " And that is the gigantic contumacious invitable consequences of germinating the seeds of Westernization, in our previously transcendent, humble, Pakistani society. The children eventually start drifting apart from their parents with strange things as mentioned above, in their minds.

Westernization has completely persuaded and took over on our Customs, moralism, culture and above all, even religion too.

"Westernization", the word sounds good, don't you think? It gives off a little aroma of modernity and a little sense of pride. One feels, somewhat, Powerful. One feels proud, to be considered, "the modern for Commons". Westernization...the undying sense of Independence and feeling of being powerful to have access to do whatever and whenever we want. No one is going to object, because it's a free country. Isn't it? No one object to the fact that, we give our four year old baby, a touch mobile, and they are free to see, whatever he/she wants. No one will object to the reality, that we let our daughters, wives, sisters dress up so vulgarly, and hang around with boys, not caring a fig what they might be up to. 

No one must object to the fact that, every second student wants to fly Europe, study there and settle their life with European wife. 

This is what Westernization has done. It has slowly crept the virus of O'level and A'level into our society, estimating that it will flourish here, because everyone will pounce on it, and thus will make them hate the education of their own country, and once this is done, they will go to other nations, in search of "better education"_greener pastures_ and Pakistan is set to be doomed. It has made us forget our values, religion, customs and culture.

Religion, the one thing around which all lives revolve. For us, It is Islam, since we, you know, are Muslims or .....are we? What is islam? Is it, God forbid, holding parties with boys and girls together till 4:00a.m,

Is it walking around, exposing every part of your body that you can, in any way that may seem fit; wearing clothes only because it is an obligation? Or is it hearing the Imam calling Azzan and yet sitting in bed like a recalcitrant idiot, carrying on whatever it is you're doing, pretending you didn't hear it, it makes you feel better ?  Is this all what islam teaches us? Is this islam? Is this what our parents have taught us? Don't we all answerable to God? It pains me to see how the love for Modernism has made everyone forget their roots. It is a shame. We have totally forgotten our roots. Our national dress, the Shalwar kameez, is nothing more than a theme at some parties, or the uniform for girls at school. The Westernized clothes are what we are going to wear, because we don't want to be the odd one out. The girls will not wear a dupatta because, you know, it's not "attractive". 

We have changed, totally in the grasp of Westernization. We have to wake up, stop letting the west control us. Westernization is a poison and it will spread through our one, Muslim body. So, take a stand and stop the Western culture from spreading around our Nation.
