South Asian society...

The South Asian society is blessed with a very hardworking population, even though it’s economically challenged and the inflation rate is on the rise, the people still make an earning enough to get themselves food and shelter. Although it seems that South Asia is weak but how can we not bring into the spotlight its nuclear power which has made it one of the very few countries in the world possessing nuclear power. South Asia is very rich in natural resources like oil, gas, etc, but it lacks the technology to extract all these resources and bring them into use. It consists of people belonging to various cultures, making the South Asian society a very multicultural one. There are many ethnic groups and the ones in majority are Sindhi, Balochi, Punjabi, Punjabi and Kashmiri and each of these ethnic groups have their own culture which is quite different from the others. South Asia is blessed with a very strategic geopolitical location, because it has a port and makes import and export easier South Asian people are very hospitable ones, and very welcoming to the foreigners. But the people are not united, have no faith and no discipline. The people from various ethnicities have formed different groups and also quite often there are issues between the groups which mostly results in a fight over a disagreement. The most dominated religion in South Asia is Islam and according to its teachings Muslims should live in unity and peace and respect others’ religion, but this is not very prominent in this society and there are religious conflicts and ethnic differences causing many differences and difficulties within the society which also supports the point that the people there have no discipline. The people of South Asian have no vision because they live for the present and have nothing planned for their betterment. There is a lot of poverty in this society and its gradually increasing with time. Unemployment is on the rise and many people can’t even earn for their food and shelter. South Asian society is a victim of over population of 175 million. And its people are very much into blame game at almost every possible level. They just won’t accept their mistake and would try to put it on others, blaming others for one’s mistakes. Illiteracy in South Asia is at its peak. Although according to the statistics, literacy rate is quite high, but I don’t think being able to write one’s name and read a little bit makes a very good and criteria to measure literacy. This society lacks educated people, and every society requires a majority educated population to have a ‘vision’ and to excel and make a good respectable position in the international society.
