From starting of world, when people started to live in
groups. They experienced some kind of rituals about their living, hunting and
making fun when they were in leisure which varied from groups to groups. This
type of thing which evolved between them can be taken as the starting of
culture. These were the very essence of cultures which differentiated the
groups of people among them. So in this manner, the culture started to grow
spontaneously. These basic elements then resulted to create the languages and
then usually on the basis of languages transformed into the shape of nations.
So, the resultant of this all saga tells that main factor to transform the all
humankind is nothing but culture.
As we come to the culture of Pakistan and study it
thoroughly, then we find that the only substance which was caused to make this
country is nothing but culture. From the very starting of the freedom
struggles, we can single out that culture was the main factor which geared up
to start the struggle for separate nation. As we, being the Muslims had
different culture as compared to others. They were Hindus and followers of
other religions. So, it looked very difficult to live the lives as per
commandants of Islam, in case the British quit India. So, in this considerable
situation to provide safeguard to our culture, our ancestors started struggle
of Pakistan movement. They decided to receive a country named Pakistan where
they could easily and freely can act upon the teaching of Islam. Once upon a
time the main leader of Pakistan movement Muhammad Ali Jinnah said in a
gathering that they were to going to get a country, which would be like a
laboratory where the Islamic ideas would be tasted and acted upon thereafter.
So, coming to the point about the culture of Pakistan after the coming into the
being of Pakistan. For this purpose if we delve deeply upon it, we find that
our culture is not meant as same as we were promised at the time of
independence of our country. It has changed on three hundred sixty degree. If
we examine thoroughly, we find that the main reason for this drastic change is
the deaths of leaderships who were very committed and sincere with the goals of
making the country at the very early time to formation of country. Second, from
very starting, the country had to look towards developed countries of Europe
and America, this factor caused to transfused their culture to prevail onto
ours. As we were the receptors before those nations, so we were being
reluctant, could not take the stand to check their culture from penetrating
into ours and gradually we started to sink into their culture. Now a days,
using their culture and especially their languages are taken
as the only ladder, ascending on which one can attain the zenith of progress.
As conclusion, it looks better that we should grasp the knowledge and
advancement not on the cost of our culture. Because, it shows some type of
hollowness within us and creates a sense of inferiority complex in general on
national level. It is also true said that which nations which cannot save their
culture, they don’t have to exist on the map of world.
