writing on the wall

by Meherban Karim

There are many youth spending their lives without any purpose which is reflecting nowadays in the Gojal. These writings on the walls of various villages are examples of a trend that raise many questions in our minds.

We learned many things while we spend time for education in big cities we are there for getting idea s for our self and for our societies. Do these kinds of idea’s suit the values and peaceful environment of our societies?

We have to develop our own identity our own Image in this changing world….think about it.

  1. These are practical examples of some of the bad things which we have learned from the city life. This will not only make our beautiful & peaceful environment ugly & polluted but will further aggravate the divisions on political grounds. There are otherdeacent means of giving political awareness like seminars, workshops, booklets and public gatherings. Kindly save our enviroment.

  2. God has gifted us a clean and Fresh encironment…Our youth should devot themslvs to preserve our Naural environment..the above chalkings are the signs of uncivilizd nation, polluted cities and illiterate people and area without rules and regulations…so such acts shlould be avoided and proper steps should be taken to preserve the beauty of our area

  3. gulmit aur hussani maih hoo raha hain …….. mare jan all Gojal ko his main involve nahi karoo .

  4. We should condemn such acts which destroys the natural beauty of our beautiful region, once Hunza-Gojal was very well known as the land without wall-chalking but it seems we destroying our image ourselves.
    It is the moral and social responsibility of everyone particularly the youth to avoid such acts which not only destroys the natural beauty and environment but causes lots of political and social conflicts and divisions among the community.

    We must respect the political views and attachments of each other as it’s their basic right, but we should not let any political or social group to damage the beauty and image of our land.

    SAY NO TO WALL-CHALKING
    THIS IS A CRIME……..

  5. this is a issues to discusse and i am very happy that today you highlight that.as you says we need to maintain our identity you are right.they are those who have no any identity no any system in their home and no any name in the society.they are time pass young youth who have no any idea about ourself and our future.they shows ourself a brave person in the society but they are acting like a nincompoop.need to be highlight them and more and more punishment.

  6. If we truly or morally believe on democracy we should have some etiquettes regarding conveying of our expressions to others, yes most of the self proclaimed true democratic countries still have the above mentioned style of expressing their ideas where they themselves considered more civilized, progressive and apex of all.

    Let’s go through all the dilemma of democracy and eliminate it from our society gradually, surely we all are infant, innocent and more fragile while experiencing all the bitter and sweet fruit of democracy.

    Expression of right in democratic countries (developing and developed states)

    *Long March
    *Shutter Down
    *Block Raods
    *Wall Chalking
    *Hunger Strike
    *damaging of public & private properties

    All the above mentioned rights if you are possessing for God sake express it ethically, sensibly and peacefully.

  7. My dear Kaka saeed Gojali,,,
    You have not the right to blame any specific person or area, so dont balme any area or person.

  8. I think ther are many political parties working in gojal ..but we didnt do such things like chacking on walls nd etc..it mean v r polluting our enviroment ….so we have 2 think on it…

  9. Such practices must be discouraged and the authorities in the area must be taken in confidence by the civil society organizations in order to enforce ban on wall chalking and stupid means of self promotion by any candidate or any party. this is damaging our both the social and physical environment in the area. MQM having its ideological roots in the ethnic identity of Muhajirs has no any relation to any other part of Pakistan except Karachi/Hyderabad or where they live in majority.
    Another thing, our candidates must not play the political strings of Mians, Chowdris, Makhdooms or Zardaris. They should seek inspirations from a party ideology, but not form the party leadership/politicians.

  10. this is not only issue of gulmit or hussaini we are watching these things also in our villages i mean passu so please think about this issue and need to guide about that

  11. It is a sad fact of our society that we are destroying the beauty of our home land, I don’t know the person who have written this knows that the people they representing don’t even know that gojal or Hunza exist, I know some of these leaders, when they talk about hunza( they don’t know if there is place called gojal) they say hunza is a beautiful place, they don’t know the people of hunza or the rich culture we have, then why are we destroying our beautiful land for these rich and ignorant people? One of my brother said that it only happens in Gulmit and Hussaini, you are wrong sir, it happens ever where.

  12. These wall chalking are beside the KKH, and I have a gut feeling – these might have been written by the local tourist coming from downside. our responsibiltiy to prevent them bringing their shets to Contaminate our enviornment.

  13. Awful for all of us, we need to thing on this very sincerely … we have to censure and depress such elements which are creating problems for our society and destroys the natural beauty of our beautiful region..

  14. Please do something before this will spread in our society. We some time forget our religion and our value and norms. Basically these political parties have no such value, norms and culture and especially the MQM is fully titled Mahjeer Qomee movement it means they are all migrated. Please I am requesting those brothers who are involved in these kind of activities my humble appeal to them please know your self and your value instead marketing anybody else. Mir is based on hunza but still people are not accepting them how can other people can be distribute us.

    >>>NO MQM, NO PPP, NO MUSLIM L (N) , NO MUSLIM (Q)

  15. i damn agree which was said by MR.mehrban shah.iwe should make our own identity and it is useless to do this rubbishthings.we should be focus to made a bright future and if our youth involved in these sort of activities that means we loss ourselve.A very good issued raised by mehrban shah .i think we should make a forum of youth to guide them properly .this is a very serious issue political leaders of other parties onlyused us for their own mean.i think its a time that we should understand that .thnx

  16. Not a good signs for healthy environment, we have to prevent from wall chalking to stone chalking. If some one is so aggressive to express his/her frustration simply a 100*100kmt billboard could display any where! that is costless…

  17. Hi every body; it’s true that…….. it happens every where. The mega cities of Pakistan are the biggest example for us. The municipal corporations/committees are supported by thousands of sweepers but still the cities are not clean. Pollution is the biggest threat to the lives of the people living in the mega cities. There are many examples like; how big the house the people live in but still you can see the residents throwing a bag full of rubbish out side the main gate. Similarly how big the car some one drives you can see him/her throwing a Tin of Pepsi from the window. To me the reason for all this mess is some thing is wrong with their attitude and basic training.

    The wall/rocks chalking are recent developments in our region. I feel, it’s due to lack of basic training at home, the society and the school. We need to understand that Hunza Society & culture remained unique to the outer world due to its simplicity. Now days it seems, our culture is under a serious threat by not educating our young generation about our cultural assets, which cost to us by integrating undesired elements to our overall society.

  18. We are growing in a world of globlisatiion and the media to advertise and express our feeling and ideas is bursting much more.it a world of education and those who want to be advertises just make it through the proper manner like a civilized nation.chalking on walls and stones means writing on ur face because this environment is our face .people from round the world come to see these beautiful landscapes but why we are themselves destroying them.these forces should be stopped and strict laws made by the local authoriy of gojal because the upcoming elections will boost these trends.i personally requeest each gojali to discourage such elements of society which are polluting our natural beauty

  19. WHERE EVER IN WHICH SOCIETY WE LIVE, WE HAVE TO ADOPT THE GOOD THINGS, GOOD LESSONS AND POSITIVE MANNERS BUT SOME WHO ADOPT NEGATIVE ASPECTS THOSE ARE NOT FACING THE CHALLENGES OF LIFE. THEY THINK WE BECOME SAFE BEHIND THE DOOR, SOME NEEDS MONEY,SOME WANTS THEIR IDENTITY THROUGH ORGANIZATION BESIDE THEIR OWN CONTRIBUTION, SOME ARE CLUELESS THEY DON’T KNOW THE REALITY OF LIFE, PURPOSE BECAUSE THEIR MIND ARE WASHED.SOME PEOPLE ARE HUNGRY AND SOME ARE ANGRY AND COME THIS PLATFORMS.

    BUT WHO WHATEVER ANY OR ORGANIZATION DO/DOES IN OUR HAND WE HAVE TO DO THE RIGHT THING IN RIGHT TIME IN RIGHT MANNER

  20. of course it is very sad that we are destroying our beautiful are with our own hand, for our personal means, it is because some people want to show them to others through these means and for their self intrest they are destroying our area natural beauty. our area is desire for outsider…to visit there. so it is the responsibility of us all to stop these person from doing such rubish work.

  21. Dear youth (Gojal)
    You are jus destroying your Culture, Identity, and most importantly your Environment. Being a part of an educated and civilized society it must be ashamed for us. What you want to show others?? R u really mohajirs ?? We don’t know….. do something new for your own identity by protecting your environment and culture
    Nothing to say more.

  22. It is a big question mark for the youths of Gojal. My dear friends it’s time to think over it. these are the nusty elements of our community who are on the verge to create division among the youths. Such guys have only the lust for money they don’t know the value of society and family. i personally request every individual to discourage such activities in our beautiful area. I was wandering whose mom or dad belongs to these parties. Try to find out such people and plz bring them on such platforms. the youths of the region needs to be united to face such challanges. it is the begining. if not properly considered then it will boost up in the region.,
    thanks

  23. I am from NA and currently living in karachi for 2 decades now. I am utterly disgusted and disturbed to see a terrorist Organization finding its roots in a humble people from NA.

    Being in Karachi for so long i know and understand very well this militant organization that funds terrorist activities and groups for its political and ethnical agenda.

    I am so ashmed to see its name on my beautiful land.

  24. Dear youth of Gojal
    Keep clean God Gifts, The rich cultural and rich natural environment (please)
    For God sack kindly tack steps and stop the rubbish thinks which destroys our natural beautiful land, I personally request from Gulmit and Hussaini youths please kindly tack step and clean the all wall chocking before tourists flow in Gojal because the tourist is spreading the good and bed thinks of any area in the world .
    I all sow request to the all Political Activists please don’t use these kind of lowest tools in future coming Election 2009 which destroy your rich cultural and rich natural environment (please)

    With hope

  25. Gulmit aur Hussaini k larku ney tou sirf chalkiang ki hai.
    baghaiar chalking waley harkat b hotai hai.

    jin ka koi puchnay wala nahi >>

    thanks

  26. I don’t thing its bed! bcz the people have right and if we are talking about youth movments or establising new parties. my q is here why?

  27. What a shame……Why are we defacing the beauty which God has granted to our area?We are a peace loving and nature friendly people.It seems that by living in filthy places of karachi ,the blood of theses guys has polluted.

  28. thats great .. i really sopport it . they will act in a positive way if proper political platform is provided to them not in the tradional way . You people are living in the 21st century?????

  29. No matter, This makes people irritate and make emotional so by enthusiastic approach its a good sign which possibly to enforce people to come in an umbrella but it should their own made organization which protect politically,socially, morally and religiously.

    The Organization should not be imported organization.Another segment of that organization (MQM) give lessons for us of unity, working of young youths in organization.

    So If you not harm the land it would not be soft. But the positive activities of your own organization would be given prefer and take lessons from others.
    Wise people take lesson from others and foolish people take lessons from own self.

    thanks

  30. As far wall calking is concerned i agree, ya it’s ruining the beauty of our area, but when u start talking about spending or wasting their lives without any purpose, it’s ridiculous. This is what a political party activist thinks about a sports club member or a sports club member cum political activist thinks about ordinary man of a society.

  31. it gvz me great regration to write that our young yough is going to involve in such rebish activity, which may destroye there positivity and will enhance the dark side.
    it also shows that we r caming from ::prosperity to adversity:;

    regards and best wishes

  32. Its All Rubbish!
    Whta the parties has done for you?
    we are a family there and politics in a family doesnt suits.
    i jus call this all wrong and rubbish things!
    Plzzzzz open ur eyez what u are doing!

  33. It has ofcoarse became a fasion among the youth of our area. I would request them to show themselves in their good doings and skill, not on the walls.
