Revolutions and Imran

Revolution “is a fundamental change in organizational structural that takes place in a relatively short period of time”.

Aristotle divides revolution into two categories;

1- Complete change of existing constitution

2- Modification of existing constitution

Revolution brings changes in three major institutions; Culture, Economy and Socio political.

Revolution can also be divided into 2 categories;

1- A wide one during which a political regime is over thrown by a movement by an irregular, unconstitutional and violent fashion.

2- And a narrow one which changes the social, economic and cultural status of the society, soon followed by a regime change.

How the concept of revolution arises in any society?

It arises when the masses of a society start feeling injustice in three major aspects of their lives; Social, economic and education (Pakistan)

Socially a huge divergence takes place between the living standards among different groups of people in a same society. Economically a culture of uneven distribution of wealth reveals in a society. And educationally people are educated differently on the basis of their economical and social conditions (Pakistani people).

These three categories irresistibly start revealing the concept of revolution.  With the passage of time, increase in intensity of injustice and through natural evolutionary process, revolution itself starts revealing (Imran ideology has already reveled it).

One of the most significant misleading concepts which evolve with the revelation of revolution is its happening. The vast majority of elites, power containing class and their followers always think otherwise of revolution. The concept of revolution merely seems and sounds a never happening idea to them.  Losing power and confronting masses for their actions remain a dreadful reality to them. They hope against revolution, they speak against revolution and they act against revolution (the so called feudal politicians and their supporters of my country).

If one go into the history of revolutions, it is very obvious to find the assessments I made earlier. One can find desperation amongst people due to injustice in social, economic and education setups. French, Russian, Chinese, Glorious, American and Iranian revolution are the perfect examples of today’s Pakistan. During each of these historic revolutions people stood against the absolute monarchy that had ruled them for decades.  Societies underwent an epic transformation as feudal, aristocratic, and religious privileges evaporated under a sustain assault from educated, liberal and patriotic groups of people.  These frustrated people found their hope and trust in leaders worth of leadership. Sun Yat Sen stood in Chin and G. Washington did it in America. Khomeini led it in Iran and Vladimir steered it in Russia.  Imran is exactly doing the same job in Pakistan.

Consumption of time is the essence of any narrow revolution. This revolution is not a sudden overthrown of power but leader works on minds and hearts of people for decades. After a series of consecutive failures and unpleasant situations, situations take a right turn. Courageous great leader and his followers never give up. They struggle with persistent, courage, faith, hope and planning to achieve which seems impossible through the eyes of feudalistic faces.

Musa A.S struggled for more 1000 years. A messenger of Allah failed consistently. However, He never gave up. He struggled for truthfulness while following a truthful path until truthfulness prevailed. Ibrahim A.S contested for decades. He went through every possible obstacle until truth prevailed.  Essa A.S fought until his last breathe on the planet but never bow in front the feudal of the day.  Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H) fought the battle of truthfulness for decades. He was never welcomed by the elites, power containing groups and their followers. Who would have thought that an orphan from Mecca would transformed into the king of all kings.

Jinnah started his mission in 1913 for Pakistan. It took him and his supporters 34 years to accomplish an unrealistic dream. Even after consistent struggle for 22 years, his party hardly won few seats in 1935. He was booed and mocked. He was called a failed leader. His ideologies were called merely based on unrealistic approaches.  However, persistent, courage, faith, hope and hard work won and won big at the end of day.

It amuses me to see the immature celebration of Imran’s critiques. Hardly affected by the feudalistic approach to life, engulfed by the passion of greediness, encircled by the layers of self interests, controlled by the sense of pessimism,  strangers to the concept of hope, scared by the ethics of work and confused with their faiths will always come hard, speak big and act bitter against the truthfulness.

No doubt that we have failed often but we knew that failures exist. We knew that bringing revolution, fighting decade’s old established system, giving hope for a change and providing a course for bright future will definitely bring us failures in a state of feudalistic behavior and mentality. We will see many more downs. We will be mocked many more time. It is in the nature of any revolution so will we face it. Prophets have faced it. Great leaders have faced it. We are not any aliens to escape the bitter present of a pleasant tomorrow.

The victory of truthfulness was never achieved based on personalities but was achieved on base of ideologies.  We are not any different from the rest of Pakistanis but we differ in ideologies. And promise of victory has been made by Allah with those who are true in their intentions and actions.

Surah isra 17, ayya 81: Say that truthfulness has arrived and deceitfulness will vanish. No doubt deceitfulness is there to get vanished.
