We, the (educated) youth

Using abusive and foul language on public forums of media and social media, death threats, character assassination, intimidating remarks, are now some of the noted traits of our so-called parah likha agent of change, the youth. We call ourselves literate yet we disrespect elders, we quote our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW) everywhere yet we disrespect women publicly, we claim to bring revolution yet we don’t give freedom of speech and expression. Is this is called a nation building? Are we the educated youth? Are we the future of Pakistan? If yes, then we must admit that are future is very dark.

Unfortunately, our youth is moving in the wrong direction as they have become intolerant and aggressive yet they call themselves educated. And whom should we hold responsible for this alarming situation of our youth, of our future?

Why our “educated youth” has become hostile and antagonistic? It is surprising to see that this “educated youth” that has become fanatical has studied from reputed colleges and universities. Is it the educational institutes that have collectively failed to deliver what they were supposed to deliver or is it the ongoing political battle in the name of change, making them or encouraging them to be more violent, for their own political motives?

I am sorry to say but Imran is also responsible for making our youth intolerant, only for his political mileage. In his public gatherings he does not hesitate to use abusive language and from name calling. Just by saying words like change, revolution, he will never be able to bring any change.We must be human first, only then can we be an agent of change.
