The South Asian society


The South Asian society known and believed all over the world as a conservative and backward model to the world consists of nations such as Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Pakistan, itself being a nuclear state, India ,having the second biggest navy in the world only coming second to the British, and Bangladesh, the eighth most populous country which has embarked its name in agricultural and textile exports.
It is this society in which cultural, family and traditional values are most honored and valued. It is this society in which people are so closely knitted to each other than the pain of one becomes the pain of many. Happiness is spread and sorrows are shared. Even though this society has been a recent target to claims such as terrorism but this society has survived with great love and care that fills every other heart that beats in these nations.
Even though Pakistan has had recent setbacks of terror attacks and natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes on its land but it has survived for 65 years and with the heart and prayer of its people it will carry on to not only live but prosper. India is the fasting growing economy and the next “soft power” rising shoulder to shoulder with china, one of the most dominant economic and cultural nations of the world. These two nations have had their differences in the past and might be having them forever but great hope is being put together and talks have been channeled so that better for both nations could be sought out.
Like every society, even this society is been dismembered by forces that have been either created or fed by them. The serious lack of unity due to multi-cultures’ and different ethnic backgrounds has divided this society to extremes that the interaction of poles have rather become not impossible but improbable. The society faces diseases such as crime, corruption, inflational practices, overpopulation and the worst bad governance. These add onto make the society so weak that it is been looked down on by the western culture, and the worst that could happen to this society was the push by religious extremism.
Even though the society is weak, but is full of beautiful people with beautiful hearts, which is why it has the ever knowing ability to prosper.
