Discrimination leading Pakistani society to disparity

Discrimination leading Pakistani society to disparity

In Pakistan, discrimination is the major factor that disturbs society’s smooth sailing and thus creates many problems particularly for downtrodden people. It has become a common evil that primarily stems from this so-called class difference.

People in Pakistan are living on the two extremes and it has become very difficult to get rid of discrimination.

However, it is difficult but not impossible to get rid of this social evil which is creating a wide gulf between people and is creating a feeling of hate in their hearts.

Discrimination is being practiced in our society in various forms. Those people who are rich or have established a higher position in society on the basis of wealth and power do not even like to think about the downtrodden class.

Those who are rich hate the poor and often behave them in a completely inhuman way. This behaviour of the rich brings bad feelings in the hearts of the poor and the gap between these two classes grows bigger.

Middle class that always remains busy in maintaining their status by hook or by crook is also responsible for this discrimination.

Those people who belong to middle class always support the rich and try to avoid the poor in order to gain personal benefits. One of the many personal advantages is to gain bribery, which is the most common form of corruption.

While talking about the officials of different government departments also give importance to those people who have a rich physical appearance. They always talk to them nicely.

While dealing with a poor man, they always become indifferent and often rebuke
them in an insulting way.

Such a discriminating behaviour of government officials is stretching the gap of class difference.

The most important example of discrimination in this country is that the rich always do wrong but never get punishment because of their wealth and power.

On the other hand, when a poor man commits a mistake, he pays a severe price to that mistake, whether intentional or un-intentional.

It means that the law is made only for the poor, not for the rich, as the socially well off people always remain beyond the reach of the law.

One more important factor is the education system of Pakistan which creates huge gap between the students of private institutes and public institutes.

This gap causes an inferiority complex among those who cannot afford to take admission in an English medium
school or who do not have a strong family background.

However, this huge gap can be reduced to a maximum extent by making reforms in the education system by introducing a single course for private and public institutes.

The rule of law on everyone is another step which will help in shrinking the class discrimination.
If government start working on these two steps, the class discrimination will start shrinking and it will definitely give birth to a happy society.
