Well,Mr.Ehson.
U r right every sentence said by our PROPHET is Hadith.I accepted my mistake.Secondly,as my teacher told that Hadith infront of all the class.So i thought that it would be authenticated.Thirdly,if i had written that Hadith i must mention the reference.I take it back.I must go through books to find out where it has been written.This is my mistake.
Thanks for pointing out this.In future there will be no mistake if ever i quote,Hadith in my letter.(Inshalla).

Sorry for having kept you waiting for this reponse, but here is a response to some of your responses that I just don't see eye to eye

And are you sure that 1949s revolution made everyone proud. I'd a english teacher (may Allah (swt) give her good life in this world and a good life hereafter). At the time of the revolution she was in China. She has met those people and she might be lying to us by she has told that most of the people were unhappy. So coming back to your point they didnt use to talk bad about their country/rulers becuase they feared that they would be killed not because they didnt want to. If you want to stop the people in that manner it sure would help. After all you want to hear is the praises.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Ok I for one would take the word of your teacher, then I guess you need to thank the Government of Pakistan for giving you the liberty of speaking against the government ! and speaking your mind ! Do you know in Malaysia and Singapore it is against the law to critisize the Government, not even the press ! The Singaporian opposition has under 2% representation in the Parliament ! and each ballot paper has a tracking/serial number so the Govt. actually knows who you vote for !

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
You see brother the cirteria is not the number of years you spend. Its the number of subject you take and the quality of the material tought and the way it is tought. Keep that in mind in futre<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Daaa,.. is that so, quality of education, I think you are just bitten by the Indian bug,, good for you. My friend I went to an Indian School for the first 8 years of my schooling,.. I did not find any thing that was extra ordinary with the Indian system or Indians in particular. Infact the 3 of the top 5 positions in my class used to be non Indian kids (including your's truly ) Just for information, as India opens up to the world, the British GCSE/O/A level system is pretty much in with some of the best Indian Public schools switching over to it.

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
I think you got the wrong Idea from my post. You seem to tell me all the wrongs of India. And honestly speaking it doesnt matter to me. You just raised the point that they dont talk ill of their land and I gave you many reason how they are better than us. <hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

So does that bother you, hearing all bad about India ? well, I as a Pakistani are more than bothered by a topic that says ashamed to be a pakistani and then going on to read all negative about the country

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">They dont need to impress you, neither do I need to defent them. And as said earlier Montery tolls are not a good measurement. Your people do earn more than them but you must be aware of the fact that your people do not enjoy the status which they do.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Huh come on grow up,.. Indians enjoy a better status than Pakistanis ? where on Andaman Islands ! You need to cross the Arabian Sea and visit one of the Gulf countries to see for your self.. or more easier talk to any one who's lived there or even visited one of these countries. About the West ! that's a different story... there is a lot of bias in there and a lot of post 9/11 reaction, so lets not go into that... its worst for the Saudis !

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"> I remember a very intersting case study of Ritz. When in 70s they brought in the TQM Model of thier own. Their CEO said we are not the market leaders in quality becuase we are good its just becuase rest of the peopole in the industry are not worse than us. And he was the one who changed the concept of TQM.
So as earlier, I'm not concernt about what others do and how they do it. I'm concerned about what we should do.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

Good so we are talking about absolute thought and problem solving by not relating it to a inferior bench marks. Nice concept, that will help you out in life making you more creative and a problem solver. BUT stop question, how can you be ashamed of being a Pakistani when its just absolute ? did you just decide on it by NOT comparing to any one else,.. not even India (of which you are most impressed)

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
I asume that country and home are not similar in the sense that whatever happens in your country is like an open book. The media has access to it. But what happens in your house is not an open book even your neighbour doesnt have access to it.
How can we clean our house if we are proud of the state in which it is, brother? My marrian webster gives me 7 meanings of the word pround. I'm sorry to say brother I cant fit a single meaning in here
 1. Feeling pleasurable satisfaction over an act, possession, quality, or relationship by which one measures one's stature or self-worth proud of one's child; proud to serve one's country.
2. Occasioning or being a reason for pride âOn January 1, 1900, Americans and Europeans greeted the twentieth century in the proud and certain belief that the next hundred years would make all things possibleâ (W. Bruce Lincoln).
3. Feeling or showing justifiable self-respect.
4. Filled with or showing excessive self-esteem.
5. Of great dignity; honored a proud name.
6. Majestic; magnificent proud alpine peaks.
7. Spirited. Used of an animal proud steeds.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

All I asked of you was not to be ashamed to be a Pakistani, and feel proud to be one, simply because its like being proud of your family of your ancestory ! simple as that, nothing more, nothing less.

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">
I'm extreemly sorry brother but as I said earlier I cant be satisfied/proud of my country unless I fear that s'thing might happen to my sister or a bullet might ends my brother's life or the fact that a bomb may result in not seeing my parents again. Just becuase they happen to be at a perticular place at a perticular time and thier innocency lead to their death.
You may feel proud of that, but I've my own standards of being proud, once I achieve them I'd be.
<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

This is a matter of concern, and no laughing matter ! but then if we all thought that way the very little sanity inour country would go to the Dogs. There are people at the helm of affairs who are to be balmed and not Pakistan. You need to understand and learn to distinguish between the State (of Pakistan) and the Government (who ever is running the country. If we do that, we do half the job. It is not treachery to speak agaisnt a government but it sure is to speal against the state !

Pick up and read the history of Black struggle in the US and the anti apartheid movement in South Africa... its always been speaking against the government. Read the auto biography of the man who spent more than two decades behind bars, Nelson Mandela.. and do tell me how many times he cursed South Africa ! Zero...

Agreed, I know Govt.'s in Pakistan do all sorts of high handedness to quell opposition, but mind you none of that is legal, and Govt's in this country have been brought down because of their high handedness, come to think of it one Prime Minister was actually hanged on the pretext of being responsible for the Murder of a member of the Opposition. Ofcourse, none of it should be acceptable to us either ways.

When it comes to Malaysia and Singapore,.. you see their bright side,. you see the development and not the curb on personal liberty. Good I guess its rubbing into you, one day you will see the bright side to Pakistan as well,

Come on you can do better than this,.. ''I can see that they are better than us ?" how dear brother, care to explain.

Well, yes Pakistanis are in many ways better than Indians. The geographical entities of India and Pakistan differ greatly though. India does have huge amounts of coal (industry grade), petroleoum and a host of other minerals which we do not have or so in small quantities. Plus, Plus they had a hundred head start in industrialisation alone !. Sadly that part is lost on most Pakistanis. What people fail to understand that they were the churning wheels of the British Empire (producing huge amount of semi finsihed material for the Her Majesty's industry). The Present day Pakistan and Bangladesh were more nothing more than British India's raw material grounds (wheat, cotton, rice and jute).

Well cheap labour is cheap after all, I guess you have just seconded my point on the sorry state of affairs in the Indian Job Market, so I rest my case there.

Agree with you on one Indian in the firm down, and all... do you think that is fair at all ? I mean being proud of your country is one thing, helping out your country men is another thing but balatant discrimination against a more abler candidate just because he is not of your country is nothing to be proud about, lest follow it.

Agreed, you will find Pakistanis not hiring Pakistanis, because like you most of them are ashamed and run the dogma ''A Pakistani will just be a two timer conner, so I am better off hiring an Indian Maloo''. You know we are the only people in the world who some how (over my understanding though) make fun of ourselves and demean ourselves by calling all that is worst among us.

Yeah Afro may be politically incorrect, but many Afros refer to themselves as Black, so did I. However, if I have offended any one I do appologise.

<blockquote id="quote">quote<hr height="1" noshade id="quote">I've read the Auto Biography you are reffering me to. I guess you've missed out two very important points of his book
One Not at a single place has he writtne that he is pround to be a South African.
Two He was not satisfied with the way thing were being done in his country and he tried everything he could the change it. Had he said to himself 'I'm pround of what I'm' do you think things would have changed?<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">

On ONE Nelson Mandela and his people were prosecuted, enslaved and then left to rote on their own lands by a foreign colonial people. I hope no nation ever has to go through that ever again.

On two yes, he was proud to be an African ! he was not ashamed of what he was/is.

I guess we just see it differently

 Agreed, I know Govt.'s in Pakistan do all sorts of high handedness to quell opposition, but mind you none of that is legal, and Govt's in this country have been brought down because of their high handedness, come to think of it one Prime Minister was actually hanged on the pretext of being responsible for the Murder of a member of the Opposition. Ofcourse, none of it should be acceptable to us either ways.

When it comes to Malaysia and Singapore,.. you see their bright side,. you see the development and not the curb on personal liberty. Good I guess its rubbing into you, one day you will see the bright side to Pakistan as well,<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
I've been repeating this over and over again. I see thier good points becuase we lack them. I'm least concerned about their bad points becuase that is not my home. What is so difficult about understanding this simple point.

 Come on you can do better than this,.. ''I can see that they are better than us ?" how dear brother, care to explain. They have an equal percentage of people living below the Poverty line, they have problems (as a country) the size of whole countries !

 Well, yes Pakistanis are in many ways better than Indians. The geographical entities of India and Pakistan differ greatly though. India does have huge amounts of coal (industry grade), petroleoum and a host of other minerals which we do not have or so in small quantities. Plus, Plus they had a hundred head start in industrialisation alone !. Sadly that part is lost on most Pakistanis. What people fail to understand that they were the churning wheels of the British Empire (producing huge amount of semi finsihed material for the Her Majesty's industry). The Present day Pakistan and Bangladesh were more nothing more than British India's raw material grounds (wheat, cotton, rice and jute).<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote"> Dont blame other for your mistakes. If you are so much disappointed by the history then take singapore and korea as an example and look where they stood when we got independant and you'd have a clear idea of what we have done to ourselves. You are bringing same things again and again now.

 Well cheap labour is cheap after all, I guess you have just seconded my point on the sorry state of affairs in the Indian Job Market, so I rest my case there.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">My brother one thing is for sure, we would never get this point straigtened out. As you consider monetory measurements as the benchmark and I dont. Btw China has the cheapest labor in the world and that has became a threat for countries like US. Cheap labor doesnt mean less competent. I guess I'd be happy to start of with low wages and earn my self why what I demand would be paid to me in a few years rather feeling ashamed of joine as a 'cheap labor'.

 Agree with you on one Indian in the firm down, and all... do you think that is fair at all ? I mean being proud of your country is one thing, helping out your country men is another thing but balatant discrimination against a more abler candidate just because he is not of your country is nothing to be proud about, lest follow it.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
)Pakistanis (at least not all) dont avoid this behaviour becuase of the ethical dimensions attached to the case. And I've seen examples of leg pulling by the Pakistanis, let not bring that here now as we would deviate further.

 Agreed, you will find Pakistanis not hiring Pakistanis, because like you most of them are ashamed and run the dogma ''A Pakistani will just be a two timer conner, so I am better off hiring an Indian Maloo''.<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"></blockquote id="quote">
) you sure do know alot about the Pakistani employers. But I had some of the teachers who have thier businesses in UAE and they said with passion and brotherly love we hire Pakistani and they start playing tricks and somehow our business start to lose. Evenutally they have as unspoken policies that they would no longer hire any Pakistanis. You cant deny my nation is one of the most dishonest nation in the world.

 You know we are the only people in the world who some how (over my understanding though) make fun of ourselves and demean ourselves by calling all that is worst among us.

Supperpwers like US has people like Noam Chomsky. I dont understand why we have to go over things again and again? This link may help you meet some more people who criticise thier nations. Have fun while reading http//www.chomsky.info/

You seen to be confused in taking sides. First you say 'we have those things to be ashamed of' in simple words we should be ashamed of these things and in the second part of your sentence you say '.... but there is no reason to be ashamed'. I've lost touch debating with you, as you say we have a reason to do something and then you say we should not do that.
My point in all the debate has been that we have a reson to be ashamed of ourself and you ahve just said the same thing. I seriously dont thing any thing left in this debate.
