Leaders in the civilised world talk to their nationals with humility and thus earn for themselves a place of honour in their hearts and minds.
Unfortunately most of the Third World leaders, especially from Islamic bloc are arrogant with their own citizens.
Their arrogance breeds anger, contempt and frustration amongst the masses. Since all legal avenues for redressal of grievances are closed, frustration beeds violence and thus leads to chaos in societies.
The parliaments are mere rubber stamp theatres to silence world public opinion and are not allowed to function as sovereign legislatures.
State resources are used to institutionalise corruption, by doling out real estate to the elite, whilst the vast majority suffers and is denied basic necessities like water, health and security.
This culture of exploitation by the ruling elite, is passed on to all sections of the State machinery.
Public servants like police, uniformed security agencies, state owned electric, water and all other agencies that provide public utility services, follow the example set forth by executive.
A nephew of mine, who works in WAPDA, narrated to me that he was ridiculed by his boss, who told him that engineers like him are a dime a dozen. Similarly another acquaintance, who works in PIA, said that their boss made fun of their educational qualifications.
This endless massacre of spirited educated workers, citizens etc is leading to erosion of our human resources.
All representative bodies like unions and associations, should be allowed to function. Our parliament should be allowed to exercise its power and all institutions of the state must be subservient to the elected government and will of the people.
Development of nations is wedded to investment in human resource improvement, provision of law and order and an independent judiciary.
Perhaps rulers in the Third World, should study the humility of the President of only Super Power, when he addresses his citizens.
Even the mighty Caesar bowed his head before the citizens of Rome, although he had conquered half the world.
On the other hand, leaders of the underdeveloped Third World, consider themselves above the law and superior to their own citizens.
They treat their citizens with contempt and unfit to decide their own fate. We need to change our national character, if we desire to join the ranks of developed nations.
