Essay On Social Reformers Of Pakistan

Essay On Social Reformers Of Pakistan.Pakistan is a new country brought into being by the ideological concept of Islam. Islam is a religion which is liberal and has some outstanding modern features. The society is based on some social justice. During the British rule, there was an attempt to suppress the Muslim as much as possible. As a result Muslims lost social position, monetary stability and some other difficulties also cropped up due to poverty.

The greater influence of the neighbouring communities, richer, healthier and politically more strong, was on the Muslims superstitions and dogmatism raised their heads. The Muslims were a problem during the British rule. Whenthe clarion call came to rise up from deep slumber and the slough of despond, the Muslims became conscious of the great necessity of reforming the society to prepare themselves to be the future citizens of a free country to be built up on their own concept of life.

This was a great task to be performed. Pakistan is established no doubt, but the established social conditions have been so bad so long. When we consider the necessity of social reforms in Pakistan, we cannot forget the role of Sir Syed Ahmed, the great founder of the Aligarh University. He visualised the picture of a society in which the down-trodden Muslims would lead a life of glory.

The Maulanas also did their best for the uplift of the society. Only their method was a bit crude and ante-dated. But we cannot forget for contribution warding off the onslaught of the stronger communities. The wrote inspiring poems. the essayists wrote different articles for pointing out the social defects. There were many such reformers of the society. In Pakistan we may remember the writings of Maulana Muhammad Akram Khan, Dr. Muhammad Shahidullah and Begum Shamsun Nahar Mahmood and others.

But the number of social works should be great. We feel the paucity of the social workers in Pakistan. We have got a band of soldiers who have taken upon themselves the responsibility of building up Pakistan on sound basis. In this sense we may mention the name of Field Marshall Muhammad Ayub Khan. Lt. General Muhammad Azam Khan. Lt. General Burki, Ltd. general Sheikh and others with them.

 Democracy on Islamic lines could not develop due to the vested interest of the landlords who won the polls easily by virtue of their hold on the electors. This band of workers as saviours of Pakistan has brought on reforms in educational spheres. This band is trying to educate the people in giving a check to growing population. This is really a great social reform aimed at in Pakistan.

Family planning is necessary in Pakistan to save the families from ruination. A great a number of children are born to a family of small means. Their parents are unable to rear up children also. The children grew up in conditions comparable to the conditions of beasts huddled together.

We cannot allow the best creations of God to live in sucb ignoble conditions. God has created this beautiful world with abundance of food, air and plants and flowers. We cannot allow the children to develop like beasts being deprived of the air and light and glory of the life We cannot allow the seeds of the nations grow so carelessly. For this the family planning scheme is a necessity.

But we should not use the idea in order to enjoy life refusing to take upon us the responsibility of rearing up a family. The real purpose of the scheme will be defeated thereby. We cannot allow ourselves to be selfish. What after all is the aim of the scheme? The idea is to check the birth-rate in families. Families are to be of a size within the capacity of the parents.

The social reformers have contributed a lot in formulating schemes for the uplift of the rural areas. Model villages are being developed here there. There is the Village Aid Programm also. When we find these programmes we are elated and we become hopeful of the bright future of Pakistan. We cannot sit idle. We need social workers of the right type. We are to be conscious of the social needs.

And we must have social reformers of a very great stature about whom if would be possible for us to write gloriously. In fine, we may say that Pakistanis should be conscious of the social problems. We must have aptitude and attitude different from that of pursuing material prosperity on personal level. We hope for the great days and glorious moments in our national life.
