Karachi-The city of lights...

The city of Karachi is called The City of Lights. A city which was once peaceful has now turned into a city with violence and chaos. The Karachi society is characterized by diversity with many different people living here.  There is an absence of unity between the people and different groups of people continue to blame each other for various reasons. The opinions of each other are not taken into account and no one seems to know what is going on. The system of law and order is crumbling and corruption is at its peak. Criminal activities have also become a part of this society and no one seems to be safe.  A person who gets out of his/her house is not sure if he/she will return back home, safely. Apart from this, there is inequality between the different income groups. This is one of the reasons why people are not united.  It can be compared to Karl Marx’s description of a society where the poor are becoming poorer and the rich are becoming richer. This is why differences arise between different groups of people and this leads to instability in the society. People have become materialistic, and so little heed is given to the basic needs of the people, belonging to the lower income group’s .The only way I think that this society can progress, is if people unite under a common platform and care about each other’s welfare. If this happens then the society can progress and peace, prosperity and stability will be promoted. If every person makes as effort to follow the principles of Unity, Faith and Discipline laid out by Mr Mohammad Ali Jinnah,  the society will move towards the path of progress and all problems will be eliminated.
