Role of youngsters in the progress of Pakistan

Role of youngsters in the progress of Pakistan

Young people are considered the assets of every society and they play a central role in the progress of their country. The role of the youngsters always keep the nation upfront at the international level as through their contribution, the nation moves on
and on in the right direction of prosperity.

However, the situation is not that optimistic in Pakistan, a country where more than 50 percent population is comprised on people who are between 16 to 30 years of age. Despite this huge majority of the total population, the country is still trailing far
behind as compared to other super nations of the world.

The reason behind this dilemma is that our youth has lost its national pride and do not even think about the prosperity of this country because a huge percentage of young people do not even want to live in this country. They always remain busy in discovering
the ways through which they could find means of going abroad. They are even ready to do this by hook or by crook as their only objective is to go abroad and settle there for the rest of their lives.

Our youngsters spend major part of their time in vulgar activities and their hot topics of discussion are movies, songs, video games and so on. They are going far away from the teachings of Islam and from the norms and traditions of our society. They have
adopted double standards as they always try to follow the foreign culture while living in a society where traditional norms are completely against that foreign culture.

When young people of this country always remain busy in such vain activities, how can we expect that this country could produce renowned scientists, engineers, political leaders? Today’s youngster is expected to become a responsible citizen of tomorrow but
unfortunately, the younger generation seems to be years away from that maturity, which is the pre-requisite of a prosperous nation.

The progress of Pakistan only depends on the thinking and act of the young generation. If the things proceed in the similar way, the future of our country does not seem to be in safe hands.
