Adil Najam
Urdu columnist Hasan Nisar is known for his outspoken view. He can sometimes be a loose canon, but whether you agree with him or not (and I do not as often as I do) he makes you think. He certainly does that in this outburst on a TV talk show (this is an old recording, but I do not know from exactly when).

I have been extremely disturbed by this audio and I urge you to bring this to light. I know the content is set to spoil ones breakfast, but this should be shared.
Leaves one wondering, who will watch the watchdog?

its really an awesome discussion thanks for sharing buddy.
Great post! I urge every one to watch it.
What makes it all the more interesting is that maulvis of all prominent musliks are sittings next to him.
….Hasan Nisar is a man I have always read and admired….
his frustration..mirrors my own…and is pitiably palpable….
but what he says is at the heart of out maladies…
that remark about not being able to come up with a windshield wiper is particularly painful and comes like a kick to the groin…….
Truly fine words because words that cause us to think are better than all else.What I had learned in my quarter a century life,is that we lack only one thing-that is approach towards issues with an intriguing and knowledge seeking mind.We need to learn againg that there are three stages of learning.
1.Information,
2.Knowledge
3.Wisdom.
Alas, we are not even at the lowest state, that is we’re not well informed about history ( take it any subject).and this lack of information is STILL increasing in this age of hightech communication. :(
Either it’s good or bad, I learned above philosophy from an innovation in education lecrure by noted Sikh( about whom we,ntionally, love to cut jokes always) Food Engineeerinmg expert of international repute.
Whether you like it or not, he is speaking the truth. We are a beaten nation, both physically and mentally.
Let’s see how long does it take before someone labels him an “agent” of the U.S or Israel in the comments section of this very post.
This is exactly what I have been saying.
Having a victim mentality doesnt help. Believing in conspiracy theories and blaming others for one’s own miseries is signs of a defeated mentality, vanquished will power and beaten resolve.
Wow. What a breath of fresh air. Honest and hard-hitting. Saying it as it is. We need to stop making excuses and searching for conspiracies and fixing that which is wrong with us ourselves!
