As we look around the world and see people celebrating Human Rights Day, the day to affirm those inalienable rights instituted in UN Declaration of Human rights such as right to life, liberty and security etcetera; our urge to lose all our hope is but very human. The frequent alienation of several citizens of Pakistan from these very rights is evident in the genocide of Shia Muslims, destruction of Hindus’ temples, desecration of graves in Ahmadiyya graveyards, acid burnings of women, torture of journalists, widespread illiteracy and child labour (just to name a few maladies routinely heard of).
If we succeed in at least instilling the spirit of acquiring education in our coming generation and create opportunities of educational for all, it will be only be a matter of time when people begin to realize the value of rights they own and who deserves to be elected… and more often than not, it will be the one who at least provides hope that all these long lost inherent rights will be restored.
