The social stratification and social mobility both are considered to be pre-requisite for a developing nation to enter the developed world. However, the ‘class system’ cuts at the root of equality without which any country is fragile. A heterogeneous society like Pakistan is divided and gaps between different classes are widening with every passing day. Almost 36 million people live below poverty line. Half of adult population is still unable to read or write. The society is not only divided on the basis of social status and conflicting viewpoints, but also on account of the belief that the less privileged members of society cannot cross the insurmountable barriers between them and those blessed with comforts of life.

Arrest of Raymond Davis and his trial by law court had given a ray of hope to the people that it would unearth the CIA network and its real designs against Pakistan. The big fish was allowed to fly out quietly to Afghanistan at 4.53 pm on 16 March under a secret deal about which the public was not taken into confidence. There is huge resentment among the people since they feel that their rulers have once again sold their souls and bartered away the dignity and honor of the nation to facilitate release of a spy and a double murderer. They got another jolt when next morning North Waziristan experienced one of the bloodiest drone attacks. 44 innocent people holding peace Jirga got killed. There is every reason to believe that Davis gave vent to his pent up anger of seven-week internment. It was a despicable act which has been condemned by all and sundry in Pakistan but hailed by CIA and hawks in Obama Administration and Pentagon. These two events are likely to trigger extremism in Pakistan. Full story...
