Every person in this panel is distinguished but I can't stop to make comparisons of Dr Mehrub Awan with others. It’s not difficult to see how much hard work and effort she has done in her life to make her voice heard and given weight to while being a transgender in a society like Pakistan. Truely inspirational human being.
Bravo Guys !!! 👏👏👏 Keep spreading the light & keep speaking the truth. 👍👍👍
ABSOULETLY FREAKING GREAT SHOW!
More power to all of you!! 💙
Dr mehrub first time hearing you talk but definitely one of the most intellectual conversations I’ve heard coming from someone in Pakistan ❤️
Dr. Meherub was excellent in discussing origin of gender perspectives . Marvellous analogy of China , Russia & Cuba vis a vis pakistan. Right wing collusion with military-industrial complex. Very focused arguments indeed 👌👌 middle class ethos and pathos . Class isn’t a line but circle . Aspirational economic anxieties , climbing the hierarchy, fear of falling . Morally righteous than elites, cut above poor. Social ascension is prime concern. Gives birth to populism to generate hopes .
یہ پورا پاکستان اگر کپڑے اور حلیے سے بڑھ کر محترمہ اعوان صاحبہ کو سنے تو پتہ چلے کہ وہ بندی بڑی ذہین ہے۔ ہم نے ہمیشہ اپنے ان مفکرین کی آواز دبائی جو مخلص تھے۔ اور ہمیشہ انکے پیچھے لگے جو پچیس سال سیکولر ملک میں پڑھ کر، سیکولر ملکوں میں اثاثے بنا کر، پاکستان میں اسلامی نظام چاہتے تھے۔ خدا دا نام اے یار سنو ایس کُڑی نوں کی آکھدی اے۔
Good to see amjid nazeer sir . What a man and what a beautiful way of explanation
Dr. Meher was excellent in discussing origin of gender perspectives
A very thoughtful discussion keep it up

Finally it can be said that extremely polarised society with extreme thinking, thought processes , contrasting aspiration ha only one solution ie democracy, true democracy, transparent democracy and democracy with no role whatsoever for military. As it is still on zero level, it would take another 30 - 35 years , provided as Mati Bhai said “ Gadi Chalti rehni chahiye “ no breaks, no wakfa……

Kudos to Dr mehrub
Isl@mophobia is not a irrational thinks, it's a common sense. Look at your community people's ACTIONS all over the world 😏
Condemn the attitudes, not of any groups like politicians, women and so on. Intelligentsia has to be proactive, intervening type, silence is not an option for them , Intelligentia shou always opine on causes not on persons.
Koi bhi mulk ek nahi hai, sabhi me tabke hote hai …..

Chasss aaa gyi sun kar
Women not participating in economic development and are deprived of equality in status, education and employment is the biggest issue and prime reason for degradation of Pakistani nation . How misogyny is propogated by elite in pools and deprived sections . Sex work pays very well ….
Finally congratulations to each and everyone who made this program possible. All the people should understand that Military and it’s grip on the STATE can’t be wished away , it’s going to stay . The immediate solution is to bear with military domination but use next ten years to consolidate democracy at local levels say up to districts level. Yes military should be given an institutional role in civilian government. Foreign policy and defence should be their exclusive domains. Home Ministry at state and central government levels should be under military. All the intelligence agencies should report to ISI chief who in turn would report to COAS. Chief Justice of Supreme Court and High Courts should be a Lieutenant General and Major General respectively. Local self Government till Muncipal levels must be strengthened with fair elections populated exclusively with representatives of political parties. Provincial assemblies and National assembly should be indirectly elected through an electoral college like present day Senate. Establishment should have defined powers and COAS should never salute a civilian. This debate should continue for days to come.

Corruption is not at all an issue as it is there in every part of globe. The neighbouring India also had this issue but it didn’t hinder its progress , growth in agriculture, education, healthcare, industry , exports etc.
More power to all of you!! 💙
A very thoughtful discussion keep it up
