That oneness is our unity. The oneness of our hospitality,
the ones of norms, the oneness of our piece of land, the oneness of our
traditions, the oneness of our songs, the oneness of our sports, the ones of
our identity, the oneness of our society, the oneness of our systems, the
oneness of our economy, the oneness of our people, the oneness of our language,
the oneness of our love for the society, the oneness of our pride, the oneness
of our air. We are indeed one.
We are different but we are united under our flag, our land,
our identity.
Our identity is composed of all the differences that exist
in our society. A Muslim economist, a Hindu lawyer, a Christian farmer, a
Zoroastrian teacher, a Jewish doctor, an agnostic engineer, a Sikh solider are
all Pakistanis. We are one with all these differences. Our identity is
inclusive of us all.
We are stronger as one.
We cannot afford intolerance. We cannot afford classism.
We cannot afford sectarianism. We cannot afford sexism. We cannot afford
racism. We cannot! It hurts everything; it effects us all. It impacts our
security, economy, society, politics, development, environment.
Whether we like it or not; Pakistan is not one niche of our
society but it us all. We cannot sustain on not employing the minorities, we
cannot sustain on making exceptions favoring the elite. We cannot sustain by
behaving above the law. We cannot sustain by misusing our privilege.
Its about time we start owning to our oneness. It is about
time we forgo our differences and celebrate our similarities. It is about time
we play our part to create that balance that provides an equal footing for us
all. It is about time; we embrace our differences.
